    Just quit using social media altogether. That's what I did. Now I'm addicted to gamequitters forum. Just kidding. I keep it to one session a day on this site and think it's pretty healthy. I seriously don't use any social media. It makes life seem a lot smaller and more manageable for me. There isn't this looming network of people who can peer into my life. I'm anonymous on here and only a few people reply to my posts.

    This is absolute great advice. I totally agree with you.. I am going to do that ,No facebook, No instagram, no tiktok:), No SNAPCHAT, for 3 months straight.
     I am glad to know there is someone doing the same thing like I am about to do.
    I know What I want NOW,

    That is Freedom. Ofcourse, there are many types of freedoms.
    I got it from Jocko Willink ( Discipline equals Freedoms), I am running every morning. It has been five days straight and I will do that for three months and as long as possible, I will make it a lifetime habit again.I believe whoever can do that for three months or one years , (sleeping at 9 pm and wake up at 4 am and Go Runnnnnn for 5 miles) Yeassshhhhhh.. Life will change.

    Thank you Erik,
    Best of luck to those who are quitting games.

    "Dying" (metaphorically) was a big fear I had when I quit drinking. I was afraid of what the new me would look like... the person who didn't spend 9 hours a day at his computer downing beer after beer, making lewd, childish jokes to fellow internet trolls, and sexually harassing every woman he met. I don't really know why I was afraid of losing that persona then... maybe I didn't see what a tumor I was while I was still in it.

    But I'm happy to report, since you seem to be concerned about your own change, that the best things about me didn't change at all. I have the same interests, same taste in food and art, and same sense of humor I've always had. I'm just less childish and angry. I know alcohol and gaming aren't the same things but they do keep us in the same childish mentality. Embrace your evolution. 🙂

    Thank you,, I have to embrace my evolution yeasshhh!!:)

    I am not sure, if this is not only a discussion of terminology. If you mean that your old identity has to die then sure, it has to be reborn. But I think our old identity will not cease to exist. In some way, it is still us. It formed us and made us to who we are today.

    Let's ask the other way around: In what do you want to engage? You can use this journal to tell us and share with us, how that will go for you.

    That is a good question to ask myself.How do I want to be engaged in this forum? and What do I want to share ? I want to engage in personal development. Focusing on building those  habits to have a life of freedom, reading, running, building the bussiness, having strong will, instead of chasing women, chase money to be free from financial freedom. Like Discipline equals freedom. Simple. Not simple to apply it in real life.
    What is the purpose of journal anyway? To find within right? I understand one thing that I have all the answers I need in me . That is how I am feeling it.

    Do  you think journal helps you from game addictions?
    Thank you brother<

    Hello Journal, Thank you Alexanderie,
        Today is the second day of being on this journal,

    I admit that gaming is a disorder for our mind like drug addict because when I play game, I do not care about anything else, I got mad easily, do not clean the house, do not sleep all night until morning, feel miserable about myself, low self esteem on my self. No want to have fun with other friends. Do not want to talk new people like before because I am actually talkative person. Want to make friends. Like Cam said, it is not import to know many people, making friend is making deep connection through heart. But playing game is not going to give you that power to engage heart to heart. Thank you Cam for showing up all along.
    One thing that help me quit game is I understand about the value of my semen ( semen retention ) controlling sexual desire , transmuting it to other area like reading books.
    (For men - Just for information, one drop of your semen is equal to 40 drops of oursown bloods, that is so true , check it out on youtube, why celibate?
    Gaming and porn kind of close. So first, learn about the value of being a man. Do not waste our precious semen,
    My advice to myself is do not waste a semen for no matter what. I am on the ultimate path for 7 months already.(a benefit of not having a girlfriend lol ,now don't have to please no-one wasting my energy 🙂)
    I do not know why I am disclosing this information but I believe it is important to build our will power from that beginning. 
    I was asking my coworker about being celibate for a month, he said that man, it is gonna be very harddd.
    I hope you can do it too if you are a single , a game addict, try to control that urge as well. No porn for a year.
    I feel very good about myself after finding the value of our semen.
    I believe in myself that I can keep myself from gaming for three months straight.
    I don't know this is good info or not.
    Good Night brothers and sisters,
    Tha

    Hey, welcome to the forums.

    So let's thing about absense. How can you stay absent from something? You can force it: Count the number of days. Force yourself day by day. Try all sorts of things to fight the urge, like installing programs to block something or even destroy it. The other strategy is to change yourself!!!!

    This, I think, is way more effective than the first strategy. You think about, who you would like to be. If continuing to play games should be a part of that. If it will be helpful in that sense. Understand that when games are not important anymore, you are not the same person. You have changed. A couchpotato will never go to the gym regularly. A gym rat will. A junk food lover will not eat vegetables. A healthy eater will. So instead of trying to go to the gym as a couchpotato, try to become a gymrat. After a while you see, that it does not control you anymore. That you don't need it anymore. You have become some different person, who is not relying on it anymore. As long as you are a gamer, you will always crave games. No matter what you do. No matter how many days you stay absent. You can count the days as long as you want. If you are still a gamer after 90 days, you will still crave them. But if you become someone else just one day later, you have beaten it. I don't buy in the premise that it needs a certain amount of time to overcome something. The only way, that games don't control you anymore, is by becoming a different person. Become a non gamer. Maybe become a gym rat. Maybe become a studious person. Become, who you like to be.

    So, that  would be the "absense strategy". Let's not think about the term "absense" as something time based or geographical. Become absent from yourself. Have new goals, new thought patterns, new beliefs, new hobbies, new passions, new friends, maybe a new environment. All of it. This kind of universal absense is by far the best strategy to gain control over something. Nothing comes close. The next step will be moderation. I think however that absense it the fundament for that. I am just starting to understand this. But that is not important for this journal for now. Just tell us the story, how you changed into someone else. One year from now, look back and see, who this other person was and be proud. Don't bother about relapses or something. It is all fine. 🙂

    Thank you, thank you,
         Wow , this is amazing. I do not know what to say now, I am amazed how this was explained about self-Identity strategy. Then, most importantly, out of what you are recommending, and I agree with you,  I have to find a new identity to be reborn as a new person right?. I have read about it and listened to it from podcast. Did not really pay close attention to put it into action.
    I do not really want any addiction with electronic attraction. What is the best way not to be engaged with social media?

    Thank you so much,
    Tha

    @Erik2.0 I mean, a caloric deficit makes sense regarding a sixpack to have it visible. Because a layer of fat will be counter productive. But you said you were quite thin right? So instead, maybe the opposite would be the right thing to do, would'nt it? And yeah, abs are awesome. I have never felt more like a real man. ^^ 

    I am not even doing this anymore to impress girls. I just like to watch myself in the mirror. I think there is nothing wrong with it, as long as I don't become a stupid gorilla or something. xD

    mann, way to go..I am working on my abs too , just to feel good 🙂
    I am very proud of you,

    What change do you feel made the biggest impact on your life? What advice would you give someone on finding their purpose/mission/ work calling?

    Thank your for asking Havey,

         To be honest, I am still seeking my own calling. But one thing for sure, playing game is just one of escaping way numbing our mind, being super selfish for our children (if we have young kids ), their future, because we can make a big difference in their life focusing our time to  them for a better life, and develop our life as well. I have one kid. I know I have to commit to make sure my kid is well raised to know what is right and wrong, to choose good or bad. I have to be a good father through being a better parent because kid can not change their parent. We can change ourselves and then , we will find a way to influence other around us. 
    Gaming addiction really numbed my mind not to care about building my family( ended up in divorce )  , did not listen to no one to have a great family (Regret of course ), depression got me  with over weight, I did change myself ,waking up early and run for a whole year every single day, lost like 50 lbs :), 

    My advice for someone on find their purpose/mission /work calling is to know your self by asking questions why we want to play the game. Accept that we are game addicts after doing the test in this website evaluation. (WE HAVE TO ADMIT WE HAVE A PROBLEM AND ACCEPT IT). That is the most important step to find the hint of our purpose ( I believe it  from Cam ) .Do not be a mind slave to ourself in chain because we are not free at all.  What do we really want for our life? I ask myself that what I want for real? 
    Thank you for asking question , I was thinking there will be no-one paying attention (Negative thoughts) to my post :),
    One thing I know that I do not know the answer yet, I am still a searcher ,a seeker for liberation and freedom. 

    Thank you for reading 🙂
    Hope for the best on this great journey together,
    Sincerely

  8. Hello Sankirk,,

           I am really glad you accept that you want to quit the gaming like I want to , I feel you having that urge to keep playing for the story line and brain is commanding you automatically. Today is the second day of checking on this forum. I did not play games. 
    You can do it To quit the game and do other wonderful things. I believe we just have to commit to do something for others in services. 
    I am typing this listening my language music. I love classic music. 
    You can also ask yourself what is the most important thing you want out of your life? I have been asking myself. As a buddhist , I know that the freedom, liberation from suffering is our main goal ( to reach Nivirna through Meditation ). 
    Replace gaming with other hobby like Cam post in Game quitter website.
    Good Night:)

  9. My journal,

              I am really grateful to be able to write about my journey to quitting . Today is my fifth days of no playing world of warcraft even though my brother is playing right in front of me and I have access to my laptop because I know that there are more out there instead of using my mind power in playing game. I still have to improve my life. Improve my income skill. Looking back, I have wasted my hours of my lifetime playing game. I believe in myself that I can stop playing game for a long time and encourage other not to play game when I become an example of success. 
    I am grateful to be able to read all of these different stories from GAMEQUITTER. I know I need more instructions for my life and my family life to be better.

    Thank you,

    Tha

  10. Hello,

          I am so glad to have found this website.Cam , thank you for making this happen. 
    I am still looking for how to write a journay on this forum lol. I quit gaming five days ago. World of warcraft was the game I was addicted to for over 13 years and lost my marriage over it gradually and ended up in divorce. Still , I love WOW classic so I came back and subscribe it for a month.I just unsubscribe it already. Man, I could not stop playing all night. I was thinking to play it in moderation. I don't think I can do that in moderation.  In the morning, I felt terrible about myself and don't want to eat. And I search how to quit gaming. I saw your post and you tube videos. AWESOME tips. After I saw your stories of the people around the world, and your Tedxtalk. Man, I feel like I have to change me and do 3 months detox with no gaming, even on mobile.I am now living with my brother who is game addict to wow. I am seeing him every day playing. But I am gonna try to not play for three months straight. Lets see what is gonna happened. I am gonna replace the habbit with reading and taking care of my daughter's future. Improving my self.

    I hope you more success in reaching more people from all around the world and keep up the good work.

    Thank you again for stepping up for this generation coming,
