Despite Day 3 technically not being over, I still wanna post--first responding to above posts.
First, thanks for the concern all. I love how active and helpful this community is and I also love how honest everyone is.
It's sad for me to say, but I can only think of one or two people who I haven't either shunted out of my life due to my reliance on games, or were friends just through games. Still, I'm already looking at places to find new friends.
This is one of my commitments. However, I'm making a caveat as far as researching personality science, and compling Tabletop resources go. Obviously if these things take the same attention as games do, I'll cut them but I doubt that will be the case (personality science because it's mostly centered around others, and dnd because you really have to culminate your work with others in meetspace.).
Wiping my Chrome profile just let me notice how often I went for internet surfing (though in particular game forums and discord).
I wish I could--I use my phone and home computer for work, and the way the business I work for operates makes it very hard to differentiate between work and relaxation. All too often I'd (for example) set some VPN servers updating, and "while waiting" would rationale with myself that I could just check a hearthstone site real quick before losing 3 hours on reddit or whatever.
I do need to get better at this--I've got ADD symptoms that make it very hard to not fidget or multitask.
Ok, Day 2:
I was out at work all day today. I kept keeping myself from browsing the web, though it was less frequent then yesterday.
I also couldn't keep myself from pacing. If I wasn't actively working or talking, I'd pace around til I made myself sick. Other than that, it was a good day.
