Hello, Jared. First off, thank you for sharing your story. I really related to a lot of what you shared and made me experience analogous emotions. The anxiety and fear that you described with stopping gaming, selling your consoles, etc. is you taking the dive into the unknown. Reading this, I had the similar fear and anxiety when I decided to quit gaming several years ago. Yes, I struggled and even relapsed but (to my observation and understanding) it was because I was afraid of the unknown. Afraid of losing the communication with the community that I built over the years and the sense of certainty (i.e. going to the same restaurant and ordering the same thing every time). You may feel alone when you leave but I highly encourage you to trust the process. You will find a supportive community and eventually...find out what is your gift that you can give back to the world. If there is anything that I can share with you from one of my many mentors is this: I can. I will. I must. Now, add some context to that. I can quit video games. I will quit video games. I must quit video games. I'm excited for you and your journey. I hope that this forum will be of great help for you.
Cheers!
