June 28, 20169 yr Big congrats on making 1 year !!I'm sure there will have been positive changes in their life and I hope there will be many more years to come!!
June 29, 20169 yr Thanks for the mention! It's been one of the most wonderful years of my life! One thing that I learned is that changing something so deeply ingrained, like my old video game compulsion, is that the change does not happen in a vacuum. For me, quitting games required examination and adjustment of many different parts of my life. I had to challenge myself to do things I wouldn't normally do. Sustaining that kind of change is only really possible if you can be happy with it. I learned that entertainment and happiness are completely separate things which seems obvious in hindsight. I could be thoroughly entertained for 10 hours straight with a video game, but I would also feel anxious and disconnected from life.I could go on and on, but it's time for bed. I hope to see this topic swell over time with posts of everyone else's successes!
