Glad to have you in this community.

What will be your rewards for a good day’s work? We do need cravings after all, otherwise desire to get things done can disappear. 

Good question, i think that i alow myself to watch a fun movie or television show. This way i make watching screens mindfull and it will get a different associaties. I know i use watching screens to numb my emotions and thoughs, but watch tv i can still think and feel because it is not fast enough like gaming. So it is a okay to so i guess?

Day 2: 

I did squash yesterday, daynap andmy brother came to have diner and we watched some tv. The rest of the time i was clearing or on my Phone, or lisening to music. It is strange how automatic being on my Phone such a part of me. I downloaded a app to manage my time. Tofay i will try to hack my habitat to put my Phone in the closet in my hallway, this way it will break my automatic response to grap it. Also i put my Phone on grayscale, and i remover all my sociale media apps.

Hello everybody,

I am Peter, 31 years old and from the Netherlands. I my youth i played alot of videogames and still went on playing in my student time. I quit gaming awhile ago, had some relapses. But instead i started watching streams on twitch and YouTube alot. Also i mindless scroll on my Phone alot. It feels like i am still not over my screen addiction. And it is ruing my life. I have a good job, i work as a psychologist. And i am ashamed that even though i do that work i cant get over my screenaddiction myself. I hope with this forum and journaling it will help! I only alow myself to be on whatsapp, newspaper app and daling apps. No instagram, YouTube or linkedin. No longer than 1 hour a day on my Phone. I hope this will help to get my brain a reset and live more in the moment and adware.

 

Thankyou!!
