Hey there

 

I am new to this forum, and I learned about this forum from reddit.
I stopped gaming 87 days ago, and I feel like it gets difficult to go on, which is why I joined this forum, to keep me going.

I've been gaming since the age of 6 and now I'm 29 and one day I realized how pointless gaming had become to me, I felt I was just killing time rather than enjoying myself.

Hey Zaney! Congrats on 87 days so far. What are your goals for after 90 days?

Welcome  Yeah as Cam said have you got some goals for after you finish your detox? You only have a 3 or so days to go, take it one day at a time and start deciding what you want your life to be after the detox.

Thank you Cam and Falky for the warm welcome

I do have some goals and something I need to work on.
I am currently preparing for my next belt test, I practise karate. I am also working my social skills by going out alone in order to meet new people.
I've also been practising drawing on and off whenever I have time for it.

I hope by quitting gaming I will be less needy of instant gratification and that I will spend more time with myself (meditating) instead of letting a machine fill me with dopamine and instant positive feedback

I would also mention I made the decision to quit gaming while doing nofap, and so far it's been a wonderful journey

Greetings from Mad Pharmacist!

I'm really impressed that you did your detox on over 90% and stopped masturbation at the same time!

For me, I got 105 days of game free and 72 of masturbation free, and then I relapsed for 10 hours, because I got cocky.

Now I'm back to square one (I mean day 2)

However, learn from my mistake and don't give up so easily!
