I've always wanted to quit games since a long time ago and I finally bit the bullet and bought Cam's Respawn course. It was very helpful. It was all going quite well and it still is to some extent. I have quit games for 30 days now. However, 17 days ago, I fractured my right foot and so I could no longer run or play normal sports anymore. Therefore, I felt like relapsing since even though it technically wasn't "real", I could run or jump in video games. Thankfully, one sport that doesn't put too much stress on my foot is swimming. I was wondering if anyone else had any other ideas other than swimming? I've tried weightlifting with my upper body too and that felt good.

Guess I kind of answered my own question here but I think the key here is that the "jumping" or "flying" is a missing sense of achievement. Therefore, I could replace the "jumping and flying" in games with activities with measurable progress.

Get an e-scooter. It feels like you’re floating on the ground; especially when you steer in wave patterns. 🙂
