Day 6-10: 20th - 24th June, 2023 Didn’t post for a few days as I was having a family gathering with my uncles and aunts. Went to theme parks, visited tourist sites with them, and also ate a lot of unhealthy food compared with days before. Played wildly with them and unfortunately caught the flu. Now I’m having a fever and I’ll take some meds and sleep right away. It’s been 6 days since I played games, watched useless youtube videos and online fiction It’s been 6 days since I slept after 11:00pm

Day 5: 19th June 2023 One month of hard work finally paid off and my grades improved compared with last year. The social gathering went great - made a new friend and the dish was alright. Went to a dancing class at night for 2 to 3 hours and I love it. Hope I can get up early tmr so I can preview the new chapter to be taught. Not many cravings It’s been 5 days since I played games, watched useless youtube videos and online fictions It’s been 5 days since I slept after 11:00pm It’s been 5 days since I didn’t plan ahead

Day 4: 18th June, 2023 Another unproductive day means another day wasted. Ugh Been binge-watching netflix movies and being a couch potato yikes I hate myself doing this Acnes are getting better and I’m also trying really hard to control the urge to scratch them. I know it’s small but I’m happy that I helped a delivery man with completing his delivery. Will be having a (quite) formal social gathering tomorrow and I’m getting a little nervous. Hope it’ll go well. I’m also glad that I’m sleeping way earlier than before :)) (before: 1am, now: 11pm) and I’m sticking with it for 4 days straight! It’s been 4 days since I played games, watched useless youtube videos and online fictions It’s been 4 days since I slept after 11:00pm It’s been 4 days since I didn’t plan ahead

Day 3: 17th June, 2023 Not much about today. Had a few cravings for online fiction but soon got over them. Finished reading a book and started another. I still need improvement in productivity. Have been planning a trip over these days.

Day 2: 16th June, 2023 Hm so today I got my grades back and yeah some are good(higher than average) and some are..bad. Haven’t told my parents about this yet. I had a whole lot of cravings for youtube and online fiction today, and I had a few times during which I almost gave up and went for them. But oh god I don’t want to break my own promise again. So I made it through the day without them. Phew. Let’s see how this week goes on. Did some shopping with my parents at night and went to bed at 11:00pm yess. What I am grateful for: Successfully resisted temptations Spent some time with my family It’s been 2 days since I played games, watched useless youtube videos and online fictions It’s been 2 days since I slept after 11:00pm It’s been 2 days since I didn’t plan ahead

Hello everyone, I am not actually addicted to games anymore(and I hope I will not), but I am getting addicted to youtube and useless online fiction instead and this makes me frustrated. I have realized how much time I have already wasted and I really want it to stop. I will be doing a 90-day detox, and there will be 90 days of no games, no youtube, and no useless online fiction. Some rules I want to follow during this detox: Sleep before 11:00pm Exercise regularly Read at least two pages every day No games, no youtube and no useless online fiction Do at least one question every day Plan ahead Day1: 15th June, 2023 Today was good. Not much cravings for youtube and online fiction. Only started to do something related to studies at night, which was watching a tutorial video about English. I will start to prepare myself for bed at 10:30pm tonight. What I am grateful for: Ate something I’ve never tried before with friends Watched a nice movie I have someone who supports me It’s been 1 day since I played games, watched useless youtube videos and online fictions It’s been 1 day since I slept after 11:00pm It’s been 1 day since I didn’t plan ahead

You can do it!

Hi I'm back again after 6 months. It's really shameful to say that I've returned to playing nonsense video games again and I've always hated myself about doing this. I know I need to start another detox on it as the exam season is around the corner. This will be a 26-day game detox with serious studying and completely no games. I don't have much time left and I fudging need to start studying. Habits I want to form during this exam-season detox: 1. Read something new every day 2. Wear on my running shoes whenever I feel the urge to play/waste time on ig 3. Literally no games allowed 4. Listen to music every day 5. Journal every day 6. Study every day 7. Plan my day on todoist every day

My ambition is to become a doctor as well! Your journals have greatly motivated me, and this is also a role model for me to imagine how med life is. It's really inspiring and don't give up on your detox! Wish you good luck for your exam!

Well, it all started when I joined roblox two years ago. At first, I could still manage my time spent on roblox, I had a healthy relationship with it. However, as I understood more and played more, it eventually became so uncontrollable and addictive that I spent 8 hours on gaming per day. I started to procrastinate on schoolwork, shut up myself from my family, have no communication with others, get scolded by teachers and parents, and was extremely lazy. Like all the other addicted gamers here, I know it's ruining my life, but every day when I woke up, it was always the first thing popping in my head. I just don't feel motivated to achieve realistic goals in my life. I'm just endlessly diving into that instant gratification every single day, all day long. And every night when I'm on my bed, I stare at the ceiling blankly and reflect on what have I done today. Well. Another day wasted. No matter how many motivational videos I've watched, how many limits I've set for myself, it had no use. The crave for that dopamine is too strong, and it's really difficult to find some other way to overcome it. Today, I realized that I should stop. Tbh, I wanted to stop for thousands of times before and every time I deleted the software, I would just download it back and forget all about my determination. I hope this time I could finally stop, or at least stop for one week and see how it goes. So I joined here today, hoping I could get back onto the right track, before anything gets worse. I'm going to log my daily journals in here, and keep track on everything happening during this week. Good luck for me. Activities(that I've thought of) to replace roblox: 1. learn to play a new piece/song 2. Go for a run under sunshine 3. Write something here 4. Youtube (learn sth i like) 5. better handwriting styles
