Day 7! A week ago I had to go to the hospital after playing 6 hours in a row.
Yesterday I finished presenting a free coding course. The YouTube videos have more than 1k views together, and there is more than 100 people in the community Discord.
Have a great weekend, brothers and sisters.

Day 5 here. Not a single urge until now. I know things are going to get harder, but maybe what happened to me made it easier to not want to go back gaming for now.
I also improved my diet, and doing NoFap (day 6 now!).
I am organizing a coding bootcamp, and more than 700 people already watched the first video.
Feeling awesome. We can do it, brothers.

Mate you're making some huge changes and I am inspired. I remember those initial days where the is so much potential, it was very exciting.
I hope you're all good now health-wise. That is one of our greatest assets, our health!
Thanks for the support, brother. How are you doing? How`s your current gaming situation?

I quit multiplayer games about 6 months ago when they caused something bad to happen in my life and things were better. My single-player game usage slowly rose and a month ago I went on a 3-week binge, something bad happened again because of that, and I quit completely 6 days ago. If games are in my life at all they are too tempting of an escape for me when life gets difficult. It's been a rough quit, but I'm very slowly catching up on the things that I neglected during that latest binge. It's amazing how much work it takes to just get back to normal.
Wow, I see. I also see multi-player gaming as the most toxic... And yeah, it takes a lot of work, I feel like trying to move a mountain, but it`s slowly moving, day after day.
Day 4 here! We can do it!

Same thing happened to me my first attempt. Didn't even last 24 hours before going on a heavy binge. I didn't end up in the hospital thankfully though lol. Getting rid of everything has absolutely been crucial to making it through the early days. Grats on that. And also on the social media purge.
Thanks for the support! Did you quit gaming completely? For much time haven`t you been playing?

@Haymitch you can do it, brother.
Three days ago I requested my Steam and league of leagends account deletion. This, and abstaining myself from seeing social media newsfeed has been a game changer.
I installed Google Chrome extension to hide YouTube`s recommended content, and Facebook newsfeed.
Wish you the best, man. We can handle it. Day 3 here.

@dirac one thing that I did that helped me A LOT was to delete Steam account.
I requested it a couple of days ago, as well my League of Legends account deletion.
I wish you the best. Day 3 here.-

Third day with no gaming at all. Also, disabled or deactivated most social media accounts.
Feeling great with no distractions.
Steam account: deleted
League of Legends account: waiting for 30 days so I get enough information to request the account deletion (ugh)
Facebook: 500+ fake friends deleted. Installed browser extension to block newsfeed
Instagram: Uninstalled, but I keep the account.
Twitter: Account deleted.

Daily journal!
I failed completely and I played for 6 hours in a row on friday. Then I had cardiac arrhythmia, and had to go to the hospital. I`m ok now.
Well, enough is enough. I just requests my Steam account deletion and I`m waiting for a Riot`s ticket for further information on my account, so then I can request League of Legends account deletion (irreversible actions).
Starting a new era in my life, right now.
Wish me luck.

Hi Community
I'm starting a daily journal, since I feel it will make things easier to share my experiences and challenges here as a journal.
Regarding gaming, friday is usually the worst day to me. Often I play online games until 3am, and repeat this on saturday. Not that time, though.
Lately I haven't been playing (during the week), and that's the first time (after I started gaming again during the pandemic) that I'm going to do it on friday/weekend.
I'm gonna try to write twice a day, so I first write about my expectations, and then I wrote about the results on the end of the day.
Have an awesome day, you are gonna make it!
PS: Starting the thread with a photo I took in Paris, so I always remember that life is way more than just gaming and staying home (of course I'm not talking about the pandemic, but just about how gaming restrict your dreams!).

Hi, Game Quitters community!
I`m Luis Felipe, 27yo brazilian software developer. I was addicted to Dota 1 and 2 (I played these two for over 3k hours in total).
I was able to stop playing because I realized that most of my "friends" at that time didn`t really care about me when I wasn`t playing. Also, I started hanging out with girls, and practicing karate and brazilian jiu jitsu.
I started staying longer in home due to the pandemic, and I ended up playing some games again. It includes League of Legends and Playstation 2 games.
I want to stop playing games so I can keep working on my sideprojects, such as a software I`ve been developing and also a course I launched two months ago.
I support all of you! Let`s go!

Day 8! Yesterday I watched some tv series with my wife, had english class on Cambly, had a online meet with my specialization degree group, and then rest. Feeling awesome.
Wish you the best, my friends.
