  1. Thanks for the encouraging messages again everyone, Day 2: I didn't game today. Today I was already thinking about how "fun" gaming was. And that, I've tried to quit before, and this time I am familiar with that alluring quality of games. The moment I give in a little, it usually snowballs out of control. I had a free day today, and I didn't have any plans. It is the typical scenario where I previously relapsed. It's these do-nothing days that I hate the most. During the quiet times, it reminds me of how sad I am and how my life is not where I want it to be. Here's what I did in the spare time I had: - review the notes from the first few modules. To rehash and understand the lessons more. - I looked up various activities I could try out. - I read the book "models" by Mark manson. - I wanted to try, so I did an hour long hot yoga session. - Met with a friend for some dinner and socializing time. - found a substitute for coffee (i.e. Yerba Mate) which gives a kick, without the staining qualities of coffee. Overall not a bad day. Here's my plan tomorrow: - finish the next module "power on" - Gym day. - fill up my calendar with activities for the next two months (career things, socializing things, outdoor activities, events like concerts, and new things to try out) I am SOOOO GRATEFUL for getting this opportunity to try again at life. I have to constantly remind myself that this time is different. Because there's always that little voice in the background that reminds me of where I failed previously. Peace, Tatu
  2. Day 1: Thank you guys for the support! I'm glad to be part of the group here . I finished up to the "power off" section of the modules. - I deleted my steam account (holding the 4000 hours of dota, and +other games, including all the dollars I put into them ~probably a few hundred to a thousand dollars overall ) * I followed the suggestion on the Reddit link to change my email and password to the self-terminating random e-mail generator (great idea btw). My first day went very well. I finished a night shift, and slept until 4 pm. I met with a friend of mine, and had a nice Monday night out to play some pool, eat some good food, and have tea. It was a relaxing day. I did not feel tempted to play games today. I also went to the gym yesterday before work! See you all tomorrow, Tatu.
  3. October 23, 2016. Hi all, You can call me Tatu. I've been gaming since highschool. It started to get really out of hand with Dota 2. I've logged about 4000 hours into the game. Then, theres a handful of other games that I've played which adds up to my gaming hours. I've been underachieving in my social/dating life. I use games as a distraction from it. Games have been a way for me to distract myself/numb myself from the uneasy feeling of underachieving/ feeling inferior/ inadequate. I've tried multiple times to quit games, and have been around the PUA community since highschool. And, I'm 24 now. I've got a job, but all other aspects of my life are lackluster to say the least. I've relapsed multiple times, and now it seems to just be me going through the motions, expecting not to succeed. Overall, I'm not a terrible person. My personality is more weak than overbearing. But that just shows my need to evolve and grow. Let's hope this is the LAST TIME. Because at the same time, I am also quitting smoking weed. And I've been doing that since highschool, on and off, as well. Day one officially starts tomorrow: October 24, 2016. Tatu.
