Good morning
Hitaro thank you very much for your help
I started to play temple run and slept only 5 or 6 hours this night.
it takes no time to create a Google account to install games.
I think I gotta bite the stone by putting my phone downstairs for me to eliminate the distractions
I noticed also intense feeling of bargaining
and thinks like oh I don't want to game CH or EF but how about temple run?
That works and it is just a far cry from excessive gaming.
Wrong. it is the same shit just with another flag and another appearance.
One thing that I noticed as well is the fact that when I wanna cut gaming I need to start with PMO.
In the USA I got enormous streaks of not gaming because my lovely host family wasn't allowing me to keep my phone in my room.
I wanna get to that stage where I can say to myself that I have no boundaries!!!

Hello
After a long time I am back in the boat
With more experience of hoe crushing video games can be
I have some very productive people who kinda pushed me out to kick some as and get some work done.
My decision to stop comes from my heart
I have come to an absolute low point when I asked myself the question
are you willing to quit bad habits to unlock your true power to become the best version of yourself.
The problem is that I know theoretically all the info and the chemistry behind it but I don't know how to maintain the motivation over a long time of 3 weeks.
I have pushed myself to make a good start in the morning I gotta work on the evening more

Hello
It's dirkj3!
It has been a time I have posted something here.
I am here to recommend Habitica!!!
it has been a great app that is extremely rewarding and you can get done a lot of things!!
I am on level 9 I have bought many equipment to make myself stronger
but the main aspect is that each task you complete for the day or each to do list item gives you money and experience.!!
I love this app!!
It is a huge community where we all work to fight bosses.
You can give it a try and visit the Party
"The Tribe"

Day 5 No games and the other 2 porn and fap
I caught myself typing in clicker heroes checking out whether there are new updates.
Yesterday ther was a big trigger.
I reminded myself of how big the impact gaming had on me.
since it is the 2nd last day of school before the holidays.
Anyway, I am aware of that ealier or later I gotta get my emergency plan up to date.
I wanna talk to a girl but I didn't have the balls because there was another boy close to her..
Gratitude list
I am grateful for my progress in school and am getting better in school and I am really proud of that.

I agree what ypu have said.
Today I woke up like 2 hours earlier.
The best way to alalyse the pattern is by writing it down?
I ate the chocolate as a reward for my studying to keep myself on track which went well until 2 am.

Hello
day 1 games day 1 nofap day one no pmo
26 days without gaming that is amazing
I made a rule to keep my phone downstairs and delete my Gmail account so I am making one when I really need to or using app detox.
To be honest I have eaten chocolate at night and after I downloaded the game I was on it for 1 minute.
Later on I had a chaser effect on watching porn and I went for it.
I just slept like 5 hours today which is horrible.
I am grateful for the day that comes after every relapse.
Kam grateful for my brother who has moved out for university
I am proud of the fact that I am not starting at square one .
I am grateful for my increasing ability to fold origami flyer.

Today my chemistry teacher was very mad at me because I wasn't picking up the procedures of how to use a Bunsenburner almost immediately as he showed it.
Today we were making some salt solutions and we had to show him once in a while how to operate the burner.
I didn't know how to operate it because I cannot process the steps as fast as the others.
I told him about that but he wouldn't listen he said that the safety procedures are import ant and that Is all right.
I made a fool outta myself of not being able to do it perfectly the first time.
I thought about quitting the schooling to be honest.

Here are some of the origami paper flyer that I wanted to make since I was a small kid.

What you are experiencing is a missing purpose in life.
I don't think that living by is a society thing. It is just way easier then searching actively for a purpose.
Ironically school is important for most great purposes. For example if you want to save lifes becoming a doctor is a great way to do so. Or you'll become an engineer in medicin technique. For both you need good marks in school (and you learn a lot of other usefull things there to).As long a you don't know what to do with your life (which is pretty normal for people under 30) you should explore alot of things and keep your options open. As soon as you find an activity/goal/study subject you are really burning for then you can make a good specific plan and grow your character at the try of achieving it. This is the part where you either go all in on school or studies or find something which is more important for you.
If you haven't found that purpose try out a bunch off stuff (examples are: toastmasters, reading, travelling, writing shortstories, martial arts, side-work in different businesses, investing, programming, meditation, tinkering wiht electronics, building things etc.). To try something out choose one thing and promise yourself to to it seriously for a fixed amount of time. Otherwise you will never get enough experience in it to make a informed choice about liking it or not, A good amount of time is 2-8h a Week for 4 Weeks.
Another protipp is listening to biographies of a bunch of different successful people. his can be really inspiring.
Edit: A lot of self-development skills like disciplin, grid, ambition and social competence are developed if you try to improve them actively at school.
School can be a great training ground. If you are able to focus on a repetetive shitwork and recognize your emotions and deal with them this can be a sort of meditation too.
you are right about the about the repetitive shit my purpose is to be good in school.
don't know how to hav a purpose it is just because I wanna look for self development things but then the school takes away a lot of time.
then I end up pushing through school( I am doing a pharmacist assistant schooling the next 2 years,which takes up a lot of work)
all the time but then I have very little time for self development.

Hello folks
I noticed that I need to learn how to rewire not only to unwired from gaming and fap and porn.
I see no purpose other than having more time for school and occasionally doing a workout whenever I like to.
I have watched the preston smile video and I feel that I cannot be experiencing the same kind of like him.
So I guess I gotta go my own way.
I don't like to just put a lot f hours in school with less self development skills.
There are way bigger goals to accomplish than just being in school.
I'd love to put more time into self development.
But in today's society is in pressure to just live by and not being able to develop themselves .

Hello
Today I have been feeling low after schooling.
It was my second day of Meditation which feels very good
I have been hitting hard the school assignment because we will be taking exams this and next week.
I have been accepting and acknowledging the cravings for porn.
Lately I have been hitting through some decent nostalgia for gaming.
But other than that I m going strong?
The times goes so fast if you are in flow!!
22/8/9 By the way.
8 is fap
9 is porn

Lol!
How can you change that?

I don't know how to change that tbh...

Hello
Yeah I am soon be breaking the 3 week wall.
Today I decided to put a picture in.
My brother is moving out today I haven't been separated since 20 years
It feels weird.
Sadness: feels like a big piece of iron has been stuck at my throat.
that's very interesting I felt it not very often.
I will be updating more!

Today
I have been thinking about distancing myself from Bad friends like people who rave/smoke and all that crazy shit.
I didn't tell about my friend that I just wanted to not deal with him anymore
-
I feel the same way when I don't have a schedule right away.
It is good to make one the day before.
It often was a reason why I relapsed that often.
Now I can plan beforehand but to be honest some days I don't wanna follow a schedule in a tough situation.
So it all boils down to arrange habits to do the tasks given in a regular basis.
Thank you for your thoughts! Yeah in reflection I really need to be planning the day before and being really intentional about how I spend my time.
The thing is I can give advice like a poet but really using this in real life in every situation no matter how hard that can be quite difficult to maintain.

Hello fellow gamequitters!
I am on my day 17 on no games and 4 nofap 5 No PMO
I am feeling good right know but I still struggle with keeping my habits permanent.
Anyway, today I was preparing my politics presentation a shot as well as my exam that I am taking next Thursday.
I have been using Brian Tracy 's method of priority making and it runs well.
The list making is a good strategy to keep distractions out of the way.
Since my schooling I notice that I gave to repeat the stuff that I have learned, different concepts facts and other material daily, which was a big struggle for me before.
As for that that'd be my only concern schoolwise.
""with great power comes great responsibility "
What to do in the future:
Learning to say no standing up to your decision

Today has been a relatively unsuccessful day. I was up late, and didn’t get much sleep. I didn’t sleep in, but spent almost an hour just scrolling through Facebook. I went to university to study, but procrastinated a little too much. The result was that I got a little bit of panicked work done when I realised how much time I had left. I then went to robotics in the evening which went well. In terms of productivity I’ve performed very poorly today, I even managed to waste all my time on the bus into uni by staring out the window. Although this would be acceptable in other circumstances, I have an assignment due tomorrow and I need to make the most of my time.
Gratitude journal
I'm grateful for developing self-control a lot more since I'm in university.
I'm grateful for the help I received from my dad to cook dinner tonight.
I'm grateful for the minimal corruption in New Zealand.
What went well today:
I went to the gym and made good use of my time there. I socialised plenty at robotics. Otherwise nothing.
What didn’t go well today:
I didn’t get enough sleep, I didn’t do enough work, I procrastinated and listened to music too much. I also didn’t write in a schedule of what I wanted to do, which undermined my organisation.
What I’ll do differently tomorrow:
I’ll make sure to get enough sleep first of all. I’m then going to not bring my headphones to uni so that I don’t have that distraction available. I’m then going to plan out my day by the minute when I’m on the bus.
I feel the same way when I don't have a schedule right away.
It is good to make one the day before.
It often was a reason why I relapsed that often.
Now I can plan beforehand but to be honest some days I don't wanna follow a schedule in a tough situation.

Day #36
Need to drink more water, I am currently on high protein and is making me thirsty all the time. Funny thing is it seems I eat more than before and I am actually losing weight.
I miss @Mettermrck insights and post I hope everything is going well for him. I feel dissapointed by not finding an AP for nofap but no worries.I have noticed that my last entries are always about what is going on my life. I think this is key for a succesfuly detox, to make something out of your life and stop being a thread without an objective.
I miss Mettrck too he really made a difference in my detox as well!

Hello

She looks decent attractive but I am not feeling anything.

Hey Cam
It has been a long time since we got in contact the first time 9 Months ago!

Yeah thank you for that awesome motivational visualization!!!
I don't know how to thank you for that one!
Today is a messy day
I am on day 16 and my nofap is on 2 Pmo 3
I openly admit that today's lab was accordingly as I prepared it yesterday
I was hitting some emotionals today and I really had been close to shouting someone after 3 supplements were weighted above the 1% mark..
To be honest it would have been the best of my teacher would have told me to redo the solution..
Like last time I redid it and it was awesome everything went well because you haven't put yourself in that rush you were more relaxed.
But today it was rushed and I disgust that
Anyway I did little walk through the landscape after I came from school at 5pm
then I sat down too my phone and watched Yt until 8 pm
That time was missing to make my homework earlier
I could have been writing the log earlier
Gratitude list
I have been seeing a girl that is very attractive and he smiles at me.

thank you Hitaro for your encouragement
I have put my phone downstairs
Yesterday I played temple run and I didn't work for my chemistry exam on thursday I got half of my presentation in Pharmaceutic done
I get half things done I have poor time management skills like for example I have one presentation in pharmaceutics tomorrow and one exam in chemistry on thursday
I have spend 4 hours without break on the presentation to get it done
after that I had a some spare time I just put one hour in gaming instead for doing the chemistry work.
to compensate that I wanna to get up at 8 today but I just had 1.2 hours and I didn't get anything done.
I told that my mum and she freaked out she told me you have to you have to you have to I have several time management apps on my phone or fitness apps to track my food I take but it is just there with no use.
I have no really "time" for hobbies because all the time especially before exams I am trying to compensate accumulated Loss of time
