Hey everyone, So I actually did manage to stave off gaming for about 2 months around 1 year ago but then fell back into it for the past ~10 months. Looking to hit 90 days, and I'll journal my thoughts and chat with you on your own journals as well. Thanks for reading, see you tomorrow 👍

Hello, Today I woke up at around 9:40 AM. I went out with my family to have breakfast, buy groceries, and have lunch. I arrived at home an hour ago, and I stored all the groceries, and now I am writing this. Later I will store some recently ironed clothes in their respective drawers, and then go for a walk. Later, I will have dinner with friends. Day 1 without gaming, since my last setback.

Hey everyone, I’m Kevin. For most of my life, gaming wasn’t just entertainment — it was my escape, my identity, and the only thing that helped me survive some very dark years. I struggled with depression, addiction, isolation, and losing people who mattered to me. Gaming kept me alive when nothing else did. But today, I’m not in that place anymore. Over the past few years I’ve rebuilt my life from the ground up: the gym, discipline, routines, finishing school, reading, learning to code, quitting weed and alcohol, and learning how to actually live again. I’m proud of how far I’ve come — but gaming is the last addiction I haven’t fully conquered. That’s why I’m here. I don’t want my life to revolve around a screen anymore. I want my time, my focus, my energy back. After watching one of Cam’s videos, a simple question hit me: What happens if I finally let gaming go completely? I’m here to find out. There’s a long history behind my relationship with gaming — addiction, depression, and slowly rebuilding myself. If sharing parts of it can help someone here, I’m happy to do that. And if some of you can help me stay accountable along the way, I’d really appreciate it. I’m not here as a victim — I’m here because I’m choosing to grow. I’m looking forward to walking this path together with you. – Kevin

Ommmmmmmm Right so as always if you’re gonna reply here. Please be positive, kind and supportive. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Save your tough love for the mirror. “Be tolerant with others and strict with yourself.” -Marcus Aurelius Ommmmmmmm I’ve learned to do what I do and apologize less for it. That’s because people have been kind enough to not mind how I am. Or who I am. How I do things how I post and behave and communicate. I sought out those people those safe space. May this be one of those safe spaces. If anyone comes against my creation of this as a safe space well. I’m in charge here so whatever, I’ll handle it. Sighs. Deep breaths alright you got this man. Build yourself up. You’re gonna get up do your morning routine. Delete all your gaming stuff. Hide away the controllers and such in the cabinet above the fridge since it’s so hard to reach. Then just do your training shower nap eat high fiber diet. Ommmm foam roll meditate. Drink lots of water, Avoid bodybuilding supplements for now. They’re messing with your hydration it seems. Ommm don’t be afraid to say no to people to anyone no matter who they are. Even if you have to whisper it at first. “No thank you.” Is always a valid response and you can always change your mind if you’d like. Game quitting is easy so long as you keep posting here when you get urges and you stay focused on replacement behaviors/harm reduction. I see nothing wrong with green lighting watching anime until 9pm hard cut off time. If it goes past that you need to stop and maybe cut back on it. I’m not here to adhere to someone else’s idea of what’s ideal for me and my addictions management. I’m here to get to the next level of discipline. Of samurai quality living. Disciplined training, hard work, firm management of pleasure seeking. Of addiction prevention. I want to be the real life Goku. 15+ hours training per week. CrossFit, mma, hyper trophy. I’m at 11 hours right now and it’s tough, I need to cough up the games if I am to take the next step to 12 hours. One hour a week. Just one more. By the end of the year I can be in the 15-20 hours a week range. With enough training that I would be competent to compete in mma or bjj or Muay Thai. I just hope no one looks at me sideways if I show up to work busted up or see my girlfriend. It’s kind of like, my fear. That I’ll get banged up and lose my looks to the point that I’m kinda shunned by society. For cauliflower ear and scar tissue in the face. If you look at Steven Thompson or Michael venom page they have very normal looking faces. So I’m hoping with good ear care and defense in striking I’ll be safe to fight on for a long time. Probably got another 13 years in me that’s substantial and I want to make every year count.
