Today I was doing g the typing lesson and almost snapped.. I was like why the heck do I do this crap?! It gives me no fulfillment no joy no nothing it is just a way of wasting time in something incredibly boring. I caught myself often giving up something that is uncomfortable like I want to do 2 lessons on typing for 5 minutes I type them very fast make a lot of mistakes and then I close the programm. I don't know whether you know that thing that you feel like you have to get it over With very fast and then being bored the rest of the day?

That's awesome!! I used to read a lot of "goosebumps "books .when I was in elementary school but it faded. I recently picked up a book I have once read and have noticed a big shift. the shift from the perception how I read and the Content. Books which were scary when I was 10 aren't scary at all due to you being more rational. But I could still see the excitement at the end of the chapters. that drove me on to read more and more of them it was kinda like a snowball effect.

Day one I almost relapsed after I got home from town. I had some thoughts about my "favorite games" and how to improve "if" I go and game again... These kind of thoughts are the engine that keeps me "wanting to go back to the old days..Always the thought "after I got the detox done I will hit the phone even harder.." Those thoughts about pausing and kinda "pretend" to be working on something awesome and boom! You are having a great time and where the end hits ground you will be kinda like Well, there was something I wanted very bad!! Also, I have struggles to find a suitable reward except for high sugar foods to reward myself I end up having no rewrds at all doing things half heartedly still having the Powerful dopamine surge while gaming in the mind.. Gratitude List Went to the city I felt more relaxed

That's true Journaling daily can be tough because I had the tendency to show only the chocolate side and when I had a hard time I just winged Journaling.

Basically I want to get red of the fling of shame and guilt when I get caught gaming. I don't like sitting in a bad position because it hurts a little now I cannot go upright. I want to go outside refreshed with no sleep deprivation due to gaming. I want to have more time.working out to get ripped and Not having a pale skin when I am gaming. I want to be more productive and understanding. Those are the goals and the uncomfortable things that I can think of. Sure there are a lot more to consider.

Day 1 out of 140 I am having intense gaming nostalgia and I don't know how to say that gaming was just a chapter in my life.

Hello I have started to be more committed in learning new skills like typing and make some home workouts. I want to give it all my best. My typing speed is kinda fast since I have been working it for a month next to gaming. Do you have any suggestions on how I can make a good structure to improve my typing correctness? I still need a lot of time to recheck whether there are no mistakes. By the way, I am on 1 hour without gaming. Gratitude List i have talked to some friends I have been going to the town I have been jogging for half an hour using endomondo

I have deleted my Google account and all my gaming stats save games etc. are gone! I don't know how to handle with it I dipped back into binge gaming to fill the void of the lost account. I feel like a part from me is vanished. Yesterday there wasn't problem at all but today I have thought a long time about the process of quitting gaming. Probably I wanted to see whether 90 days are cool and then go back to gaming. but t then I figured that I cannot detox when there is still some voices in my head that urge me to game.

Hello people, I'm Here I deleted my mobile game. I did that because there is no way around I gotta make the decision. I am interested how I will feel in the darkest moments I wanna see myself being able to feel life not just numb it and take only the good stuff out of it. I don't want to be apathetic about going outside. I am scared about making that decision because I feel like that the little off time frkm detox undid my entire process. I am getting irritated of not looking at my phone I don't want that I wanna level myself up going through the zones of life I wanna reverse the pull that gaming had jn me and use it to my advantage!!

Great progress man!! Yeah mobile games are a lot more difficult to get away with..

Hello Sorry for the delay I gotta put myself on track again after trying some things out that didn't work at all. Yesterday I have been in Quedlinburg and o was gamin here and there for a little(great mistake) I couldn't enjoy the town to the fullest( I have never been there before) This morning I was getting up with 3 hours of sleep in it is raining quite heavy. I noticed that when I do the detox I am not feeling too much but when I game I feel all the negative things from being a little anxious that u could get caught to having no motivation at all. I know all the negative things toowell. It Sucks to go through the same crap over and over again. But for me being on a detox I don't feel anything. I understand relapses but I have a had time getting back on track while the grip on gaming got right to me the longer I game, which I don't want to do.

I have been listening to the gamequitter podcast recently and i stumbled on the following statement: "living to the fullest" i realized that I have some issues regarding the statement! i dont feel like being able to be in that kind of lifestyle yet. i dont know whether the feeling to expand myself will come from itsef while goin through the detox. I think that in order to fulfill the statement i gotta go to town every day make challenges that push my comfort zone.. i feel very overwhelmed by all that.. I dont know whether it should come from me to go to town or does the urge to go to the city comes from itself? i am a little confused. the statement creates an immense pressure like what if i dont be like that?! Thank you Mettermrck and onlysoul for your posts!

Day 0 Nogames I relapsed a couple days ago i deleted my google play account i downloaded a game and gamed for comfort...I am tired i wasnt aware of ´the knockback that gaming gives me I definiteky never want to experience that shitty experience of being exhausted again!
-
Thank you @Tom2 for your great advice! Today is my day 18 on nogames and i don't feel different. the urges to game are there again.That is interesting!!!! Unfortunately, I had a porn relapse yesterday . Having my phone in my broom at 2 am jn the night is no fun! I watched a horror movie before so I think k that might have triggered me.Other than that I am currently out working in the garden which is awesome!!! I always hate to do things in the garden. the issue is that I am not persistent enough to make small things like make a daily structure a habit.I have been working at that but I don't know how to add a good reward for this. Do you have any advice how I can tackle that the best?

Porn has been a very difficult thing for me as well! I have been using it about 6 to 7 years and it has pushed me down the river.I am on my day 4 without porn and I am facing a lot of cravings and 2 wild dreams within a week. I used to game a lot of Idle games and I was staying up all night until I was so exhausted then I put a porn on top and after that I thought like Oh well then I can keep gaming... ? It was screwed up and I talked to my brother how reliefed I am. A couple weeks ago I had difficulties to sleep because I was gaming gaming through 2 nights. I was worried about me getting not enough sleep. I was extremely sleep deprived...it felt like shit and honestly it began to get dangerous for me personally. Now I can surely say that I can sleep and there is no force holding me back from sleeping.!!!!!!
