  1. It's always a tricky subject delving back into games. But I guess it depends where your goals are at, and why you tried to quit in the first place.
  2. Day 56: What I did: woke up from night shiftchilled with some friends and had dinnerWhat I'm grateful for: I spent time with the friends that I wanted to grow away from today. They're not too bad, other than their vices. That's why I spend at least once a month getting together with them. The only thing is that if I don't grow away from them, I would never grow myself. On that same vein though, it's nice to spend at least once a month on old friendships, doing things that don't fuck up my values.I stood up for myself yesterday, and someone snided under their breathe. But the funny thing is, what I did - she's done so many times, but she seems to not realize that. Having a really good dinner._________________________________________________________ Tomorrow, when I get back from work, there's gonna be a few things I gotta do. I'll check in until then, for now I gotta go to work. I'll be reading a few journals tomorrow to see what everyone is up to. T
  3. Day 55: What I did today: woke up from night shift15 min nursing studygot perscription for eye glasses.Ate sushi + plowed driveway, and prepared for night shiftWhat I'm grateful for: visiting a couple of new places without really spending too much.eating wonderful sushi at a new place journaling despite being almost late for work LOL_____________ Just a quick one today, gotta run! T
  4. Day 54: Thanks guys! @dandielionous haha, 92 is a reference to 1992 - year I was born. Thanks for the kind words. what I did today: cleaned up and organized my room + laundry1 hr. hot yogacleaned up my car.read 7 habits of highly effective people.about to go to night shift.What I'm grateful for: cleaning my car, it was all dirtied up by snow, salt, etc.getting to rest for around 4 hours before my night shiftThank god for coffee.___________________________________________________ A little bit of a slow day. I didn't do much today, because I had work at night. Maybe I had a little too much time to waste today. The cold really puts me to lazy mode. I need to work on that. I still have loads of things that I want to do, but for now, I'll try to be happy with what I've got. T
  5. DUDE - Congrats on day 89! We need to blow something up tomorrow. I'm happy for you
  6. Dude, your posts are entertaining Just reading about you flipping the bird at cars makes me laugh. Keep up the good work!
  7. Day 53: What I did: Went to workSlept for a bitWent to the gymDid some house cleaning.15 mins studying nursingWhat I'm grateful for: I'm grateful for deciding to follow through with going to the gym today, despite feeling resistance.My coworker said that I "grew up a lot in the last year". That comment made me feel really proud. In the beginning he said I was a, "baby". I have been doing a lot of thinking in the past few months, and also have been putting a lot of effort into my personality and really trying to grow as a person. It's nice to have someone that knows me on a daily basis comment on the work I've put in. Today I stepped up for myself by going on break instead of saying "I'm fine". Despite being afraid of "letting my coworker down". That's a step away from being "nice".____________________________________________________________________________ Today I did something that I should not have done. I took some noopept again. It was a small amount. But, I did say that I was never going to do it again. I'm sorry me . I know it's not the worst thing in the world, but I'm just acknowledging it on here. T
  8. Day 52: What I did: got my car fixed. replaced battery and basic inspection with oil change.met up with an old friend, someone I decided to only see once a month now, because we are slowly separating ways.went rock climbing.What I'm grateful for: Today, I did a leap of faith for a rock that used to be too far out of my reach during rock climbing. And I finally made it today . And I did it three times after that. I got a new number from a friend of a friend. And I drove him home. Met a new friend.I am very happy to have fixed everything that was wrong with my car. Now I feel safe driving it. I spent a handful of cash on it, but nothing beats peace of mind. ______________________________________________________________________ I felt a little down because I wasn't very outgoing and introducing myself all over the place when I went rock climbing. But, there are times for being silent. Today was one of those days. I was more focused on rock climbing itself. Less on socializing. More on me. As the days go by, I hope to spend less. I'm stuck on this spending mentality. I really need to more honest with myself about the moments when I decide to let loose. Peace out. T
  9. Day 51: What I did: Woke up and drove around, walked around the mall to look at sales.Didn't do much today, I cancelled on my rockclimbing group tonight because I messed up my ankle from yesterday.What I'm grateful for: Meditation keeping me calm during times when I'm all over the place.Time aloneRest____________________________________________ Mediocre day. I'm bummed about my ankle. But still glad to have a day off from everything. T
  10. I have to admit that I ignored this... But anyway, let's continue. I advance in your website and find some stuff there and there about leaving video games. Your system have some flaws : For example on a video you said to your users to DELETE all their games. If they really need to delete all their game to say "I quit gaming" for me I guess that the reason to quit gaming isn't strong enough... One day I read on a health forum someone asking to stop smoking what advice have been given ? They didn't say hide all your cigarettes and destroy them, no, no, no on the contrary they said to try to keep a packet of cigarettes in a cupboard, so this person is REALLY stoping smoking and is doing it by it's own, not because it's forced. I guess you should do the same in your method, stopping gaming should be your own decision. When you are seeing men who aren't playing video games, how will they react if they see video games ? They do not care about it, that's all. In fact, you should be the same when we've finished your program right ? I do not think, I haven't tried it but I guess it... The 2nd problem with your website is that your are "forcing" people to stop video games once they enter in your site Cam, you use aggressives techniques (with videos or text) to make sure that if somebody is entering on your website, their mind wouldn't change, they won't want to continue, they'll feel injured. To finish off, I would just say that if I want to stop gaming I'll do it, but for the moment I don't see problem with it (feel free to hate the community) because I'm not playing 24/24 7/7 . If somebody agree or doesn't agree with me don't hesitate to tell me, I'll be happy to get your returns. cope harder
  11. Great post Pierce, thanks for sharing! More than anything, knowing that I have a place to come to when things get hard has been the best of supports.
  12. I can't settle down with 10 mins. 20 mins. does it for me these days as well. I like how you got your routine going man. Starting it off first thing in the morning sounds like a great idea. Enjoy your relaxing time before Christmas
  13. Day 50: What I did: got 25 cm of snow. had to plow it.1 hour hot yoga3 hour volleyball1 hour rock climbingspent some quality time with some new friends over midnight dinnerWhat I'm grateful for: meeting a new social circle. one with no drugs.getting myself into a volleyball league for free Good food with good friends.____________________________________________ Today wasn't too bad. I spent a lot of time doing extra curricular activities. I like that, and it allowed me to meet new groups of people. One thing that I'm also learning is about not being a nice guy. I'm reading the NMMNG book. I'm just drawing the boundaries with being too much of an asshole. But I'm learning a whole new side of myself . One that I like much more than the fearful nice guy. That's it for now. T
  14. Sending some energy from the snowy north. Meditation is awesome !
  15. Haha. Nice post man! Enjoy the rest of your day
  16. I remember being in the den gaming 16 hours a day for 2 years. Don't be too hard on yourself. It's hard to make the change if you look at it as punishment. Good luck
  17. Day 49: What I did: 15 mins. filling up my calendar15 min meditation1 hr hot yogaChristmas shopping with a budgetGrocery shopping with my dad15 min nursing studyWhat I'm grateful for: 25 cm of snow. I hate snow. Re-reading some highlighted notes on the slight edge, is refreshing.Meeting someone new at hot yoga.Trying to establish an enduring positivity. _________________________________________________________ Going back and reading notes from Slight Edge felt great. It's important to review lessons, and to do it often. I'm trying to uncover enduring lessons, since all things come and go. Activities come and go. Friends come and go. This is where fundamental practices come in. My journaling for example. Yoga for example. These have been my basic staples, which have supported me as the days come and go. I think meditation is a great staple as well. It's a microcosm of life. In that moment, sitting down and letting things come and go. In life, we should also let things come and go. Like what Osho says, "if you truly love the flower - you do not pick it up". To have, but not possess. I did good in going to my first yoga class in 4 days, I did good introducing myself to someone new at hot yoga. Om. T
  18. Day 48: What I did: woke up at my sister's place.worked on my budget sheet and paid off my debt.attended the Beyond Cast #2.Met one of my close friends to hang out.Met with my other friend, now as a group of three. Shisha with the group, then billiards/pool.What I'm grateful for: My close friends still around.Me learning to draw boundaries around people that don't respect me.My dad made fruit shakes for us to drink.Being close to my siblings _________________________________________________ Alright so one of the main things I learned from our cast today with the Beyond group is the re-iteration of planning our day, week, month, year/ life. I've dabbled with using an agenda. But, right now it's more a chore, than an effective tool. I will spend 15-30 minutes organizing my calendar/agenda as soon as I wake up. I will do that every day. I will wake up earlier if I have to. Mid-day I will spend 15-30 minutes drafting ideas for my current plans/ priorities/ projects. I will adjust my calendar accordingly. That's it for now. T
  19. Day 47: What I did: came back from night shift.woke up at 1700 hr. went to "the works" with a new couple I just met from volleyball.picked up my brother and went to my sister's house for a sleep overWhat I'm grateful for: my family being closelearning about boundary setting and being more dominantsemi-handling it well when the new couple asked me about if I'm seeing anyone (and I'm not) I kind of handled it badly, but that just shows I'm human and not invulnerable._______________________________________________ I've been so busy with work that the rest of my daily habits have been suffering. But I'll get back on it soon. T
  20. Hey thanks a lot! I've been working 12 hour shifts back to back so haven't had time to journal. But I'll re-start it tonight. Still going game-free though!
  21. Day 45: Doing back to back 12 hour shifts. Busy. Grateful for: new dayfood on the tablechristmas is coming.
  22. Day 44: What I did: 15 mins. nursing studyRested a bit, my body is so damn aching. I got a six pack now LOL.paid for a volleyball league membership for 2017 Jan-March.Went to my volleyball house league in North York from 6-930pm.What I'm grateful for: getting a bit of rest.taking a long walk outside in the morning, with a cup of coffee, enjoying the fresh morning air.the nice people at the house league, always pushing me to my limit and calling me out when I mess up. Makes me enjoy working hard for the team.I'm about to enjoy a nice home-made fruit/vegetable shake.__________________________________________________________________ Ah... my goal today was to get more numbers from people, but I kinda copped out. I felt like the moment was not appropriate and the vibe wasn't ripe to go for numbers. Maybe it's all in my head, maybe it's not. It's not too big a deal, but I do know that I wanted to get more contact info for possible friendships. But I didnt' get a chance to get to know the people as much as I did in the more relaxed league I played at yesterday. Lots to think about out, and lots to forget about. But overall I enjoyed the day, in the least - I didn't game T
