The gym and running will keep you busy for sure. Get a good workout in and you'll feel a good rush followed by good, healthy fatigue.

Haha, I love that, "It's just a fact of my being." Unforunately, some of the facts of my being, it turns out, are quite inconvenient... I am thinking about taken up running since that feels less weather-dependent than biking. For the life of me I cannot do online classes, like karate, but I'm beginning to wonder if I have a choice. How could one possibly do karate without a punching bag, though, and do I want to drop $200 for a quality punching bag?
I'm not sure there are different yoga styles for acroyoga, or if it's all one style. Acroyoga is partner yoga, one on their back on the ground holding the other up while the other does poses mid-air. If there are different styles I'd love to learn about them!
Ahh acroyoga. I am a practitioner of Bikram yoga myself.

If you don't mind me asking, what yoga style are you going with?

Starting this a little late but here it goes.
At the time of this writing, I have hit the 30 day mark.
The goals I have currently achieved:
- STEAM, GoG, DCS, WoT, IL-2, RoF, and other gaming accounts are currently in the process of being permanently deleted. Only account I know of right now that is not being deleted is Escape from Tarkov because those guys are extremely unhelpful and a bunch of c*nts. Made my account un-recoverable by setting it to go to an email that no longer is in use and I can't recover anyway.
- Took up guitar, hanging with coworkers, restarted Bikram hot yoga, restarted hiking, and looking into taking up a new language. (Possibly Spanish as I have some experience in it, or Chinese just because). Also am getting back into shooting M1 Garands and .22 pistols competitively.
- I have been to counseling and still have 8 more sessions available. My employer will provide more if necessary.
- I have a psychiatrist appointment soon to address my underlying depression that has been going on for years, un-treated.
- Still working on my relationship with my girlfriend. This is the biggest stress I have right now. Some days are hopeful and others are hopeless. Just need to be patient and realize that my addiction caused a lot of damage to our relationship that my not be recoverable.

Welcome back!

Thank you! I'll check in every so often. I have a IRL counselor I see once a week and have started going to hot yoga again. Still have some loose ends that are hanging and probably will for a while but in due time. The small steps have already begun.

Good Evening everyone.
Name is TJ. I'm a 31 year old American. Currently have been on active duty for 13 years. Been a gamer pretty much my whole life. Teenage years were spent on weekends doing multiplayer games from the 2000-2005 era (ie CS, Half-Life mods, RTCW, BF1942). Was active in the scouts and made Eagle scout in 2006. So I wasn't completely enthralled in gaming. I had a Scouting life. But I never really had a social life per say. Jump ahead over a decade and my gaming addiction has cost me. My currently relationship (best one I have ever had) is very strained because of it. My social life is almost non-existent and no one in my family truly knows who I am anymore. I used games to escape my emotions that I did not want to deal with. They allowed me to run away, to escape from reality too many times.
But a few weeks ago, I made a stand. On October 3rd, I wrote my letter to the world declaring that I was done. Then I discovered Game Quitters and have been listening to the Podcasts plus signed up. This will be a long journey for sure, but I intend on living the life I have always dreamed of.

While not my primary account, still the first of many in the waiting period of being forever removed. It’s a good day.
