Nice schedule! It's loaded but you also have a lot of time for art. Art is definitely the thing that helps me the most against video game addiction, music specifically. It brings me so much joy. I think you definitely need some time in your day to do something that brings you joy and peace. Anyhow, I really like your schedule. I should do one myself. Do you know Lex Fridman? This guy is a mater of efficiency and balance. In this video we go through his daily schedule. You should definitely check it out.

Well done mate! I'm always happy top see new people choosing real life over games, because it is so much better!

Keep it up!

AHO my sister!

Hey Luny! I'm a libra too and balance never really was my forte either, not for gaming anyway. hahaha I can be balanced in other things, but not with gaming. I'm very intense in general. I dive all the way into everything I do. I think WoW is one of those games that siphons your life away. If you play casualy, you're just gonna suck. Well, that's how I used to see it. I always wanted to be amongst the best. If you don't want to stop all together, maybe try another game, maybe single player games, like Dragon Age or something. You can always pause and come back later and not feel like you've missed out on so many things. I hope you're well. Peace.

Salut Pat! Great post btw, I really like the analogy. It makes a lot of sense to me. Events do trigger past wounds and sometimes that trauma is distorting our perception of reality. Taking that into consideration can be very helpful in one's recovery from addiction. However, it doesn't mean that we have push all the pain away. True healing is done when we hold everything that comes in a space of love. Reading you makes me think of a wonderful video by Jeff Foster. I highly recommend you watch it. Oh! Cool! I figured that by your last name you might be from Québec. I've always lived in Quebec city or around it but I was fortunate enough to learn english, in part because of gaming, hahaha. If you ever pass by hit me up, maybe we could hang out or something! Peace!

@SonicBreak, welcome! I hope you can find the support that you need here. Are you skeptical about gaming addiction in general or skeptical about being addicted or not yourself?

To be oneself is to be excluded by certain people. To be like others is to exclude oneself.

day 63 of awesomeness!

Heyyy, it's good to hear from you! "If there is a remedy, then what is the use of frustration? If there is no remedy, then what is the use of frustration? " Sounds logical to me, but sometimes speaking about it can help especially because we often need empathy when we feel that way. Is your family in Quebec? I live in Quebec city. "In the meantime I could chose to focus on what I have" Yeah gratitude is so powerful, it certainly can elevate your mood. Your mom's car has fur? Nice! 😛 Again, glad to hear from you! Peace!

If you're able to balance you're gaming, then more power to you! I never was. Once I start playing just a little bit, I wanna play all the time. And contrats on your writting 😄

Hey, how have ytou been in the past week? I'm eager to read you!

Even Cam got urges when WoW Classic came out. I remember he made a video about it. He mentionned nostalgia. Sometimes I still have dreams about WoW even after over 10 years of quitting. Maybe I still have some letting go to do.

Oh and If you need advice on men, I can't help, I'm weird. lol When it comes to dating, I don't play the seduction game anymore. I just be myself and treat the other person as a unique human being that I genuiely want to discover. Simple enough and it works. In the past 6 months I've been with the most amazing people. It all started to happen when I finally said YES to life and took another step towards fully loving myself, trusting that the the right people will cross my path. Vibe your tribe they say. P.S. you're cute
