I'm just wondering, how can I keep my mind off of video games? Because even if I've been on a long detox, I tend to think of controls for controlling myself, the games, the music, etc.

Welcome to Game Quitters,

Have you purchased the respawn workbook?

Can you give a bit more information about yourself. Your area of interests outside of gaming, academic career, work?

There can be different reasons for obsessive play. One measure is disposing of the gaming console and/or installing a special app for restricting access to online entertainment. This measure will only work if a plan will be employed, reviewed and modified based on progress, to target underlying causes for the obsession.
