So i disconnected the internet and my desire to procrastinate or play games dropped. I still have the internet on my phone but i hide my phone away on places where i can not browse for long periods of time. Relationship with my fiance have been great as usual. Work and making friends have been meh. Im trying not to expect too much from quitting games so i dont feel dissapointed or pressured.

I have a fiance, a family, friends, and work to attend to, and that's enough for me. I will probably continue quit reading the news for the next few months, and continue with meditation and the gratitude journal.

You still need to befriend someone and be secure enough in yourself to get to that point though.

I'm going to stop reading the news by myself for this week and next week, until morning of February 18, 2017 or I owe Cam $100. If a friend or someone I'm with starts opening up the news then that doesn't count. I need to reprogram my mind with positive thoughts.

Thanks for making Gamquitters!

You can bench 200lb and you are body ranked C? That's one tough ranking system keep it up man!

Oh my God, Cameron is going to be a millionaire one day Greetings, Mad Pharmacist Yeah that's true, just need to eat more vitamin B-12. Update: things are going okay and I am feeling more stable than the last few times when I tried to quit gaming.

Thanks. I've been learning kickboxing. Very fun. I will take self defense or krav maga class when it becomes available this spring in the dojo that I'm going to.

"Jan. 27, 2009 -- Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer, but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows." http://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/news/20090127/masturbation-and-prostate-cancer-risk Try eating these things and working out to reduce risk of prostate cancer: http://www.webmd.com/prostate-cancer/tc/prostate-cancer-prevention Coffee and green tea also reduces risk of prostate cancer if you are ok with caffeine.

I always learn a lot from Mark Manson's articles

You just need to live a long life and then join facebook when you are 90

Yes I use facebook as a way to brand myself and introduce myself to people that I've just met. But I could totally see browsing too much facebook as becoming a procrastination problem.

Not too late lol. I just assumed that the bridesmaid needs to match the number of groomsmen? Anyways it's fine some of my friends and my cousin is doing this. Really grateful for them because it will take a lot of time out of their busy lives. Thanks! Good point.

I heard that SimplePickUp is teaching people to make a viral youtube channel right now.

That was one of my favorite episodes

I read this article on Elon Musk today, the guy who started the Electric Car Tesla, Solar City, and Mars X. His stocks went up by 30% since Donald Trump became president. What? And he seems to be one of Trump's advisers now. As someone who was upset that Trump won, that's very inspirational and eye opening to me. Just befriend and work with anyone. He is even best friends with Peter Thiel, the guy who kicked him out of Paypal. His diplomacy, social skills, and emotional intelligence is incredibly amazing. http://gizmodo.com/things-are-going-insanely-well-for-elon-musk-since-trum-1791654822

So I quit playing Runescape now because I am very addicted to gaining exp and leveling up. I will try the level 90 challenge again and if I fail I will donate $100 to Cam Adair.

That seems to be a practical one though it seems to be kinda violent, do you know if Krav Maga teachers and students are nice?

I want to register for classes in martial arts for fun. I would prefer that there is not too ground wrestling and it's at least somewhat effective in self defense. What type of martial arts or mixed martial arts classes do you recommend?

I'm thinking about starting something non-profit if I have more spare time in the near future.

You have a husband and a kid. You wanted to quit playing games and you quit for over a month now. You strike me as a very motivated person. When are you expecting your second kid?

Looks like you are using your time productively.

@addict10n: I like working out, going for walks with fiance, and playing any sports. Will do that more @Piotr: okay focus on getting desired life 3 weeks no gaming now. I need to cut down on reading the news, going to reddit, and watching youtube videos though.

So I relapsed for a few days and am off games for 14 days now. In the past, I was a sensitive pussy I don't know if I can make 90 days of no gaming this time but I will try.

Another way to look at it is the world have made so much progress on tackling bigger problems that people are now casting a spotlight on first world problems such as addiction to gaming.
