  1. @RB1 Good luck! We're on the same journey!
  2. You sound like you're 'woke'. Have you ever considered that maybe you came from another planet? (I know it's a super crazy question 🙂 )
  3. Hey, same situation here. I had been addicted to games most of my life, and it's quite disappointing how my parents couldn't see the effect my gaming addiction had on my school grades, personality, self-esteem and social skills. Connecting with people on this website and sharing my thoughts has been very helpful to me.
  4. Believe it or not, I was in a similar position as you are when I was 19. I am 24 now. I dedicated my life fully for 2 years in learning martial arts, and it helped me a lot in gaining confidence, and most importantly: proving other people wrong. People wouldn't want to hang out with me and they would think I am a creep, or I couldn't achieve anything. My best advice to you is to prove other people wrong by doing whatever you think you have to do. In my case it was martial arts.
  5. In my opinion, people are easily addicted to gaming because of the instant rewards that it gave them. The dopamine release is quick and there's so many of them when playing video games. However, other things can also give us rewards. For example, exercises give you the rewards of health, but not as quick as playing games, because you have to be consistent in your exercises, and maybe you'll feel the rewards months after you started. Learning a programming language, or video editing will give you the rewards of money, but not that quick, because you have to be consistent in building the skills needed to get a job, or build your own business from that. Maybe it will take months, or years after you started. My point is, when you want to quit gaming and direct your mind to other things, think about the rewards that they will give you. The money from programming skills, or the health from doing exercises, just know that you won't get the rewards as quick as playing games. Hope this helps. Also, maybe helpful: dopamine vs serotonin.
  6. Hey! We can be accountability partners if you want. I used to play DotA 2 all day long, and have been going on and off about playing games.
  7. 2 August 2020: I had been going on and off about quitting my video games addiction. Today, I really want to clear my mind from playing video games and be completely productive in the real world. I hate it so much that I had spent thousands of hours playing video games and it got me nowhere in life. I commit myself to do more productive things, e.g. learning to play the piano, programming, martial arts and exercises.
  8. Hello everyone! I have been going on and off about quitting my gaming addiction. It's hard to let go of something that I had been attached for, for most of my life. Today, I am committed to let go of my gaming addiction and be more productive in my life. This is my first day on this forum and I am excited to meet people on the same journey!
