Adventure Log: Woke up around 5:30 am

Watched the movie Juice. A coming of age film about four friends that live in Harlem. Everything is fine until one of the friends convinces the crew to commit a crime for "Juice". After  they decide to commit the crime, their quality of life starts to decline. Goals turn into what could of have been because of selfishness. The movie made me think about the relationship I have with my own friends. Why do I hang out with them? All they want to do is play Xbox. Should I cut them off?

The one with Tupac? Great movie.

Watch the new video on Game Quitters YouTube today. My buddy Michael Hrostoski talks about the concept of the empty elevator. And how as you grow naturally some people will get off. Video is uploading now, check back later today.

Hey KO, I've been through it quite sometimes because of many different reasons. People change, and that's natural. Keep walking your path and opened to new people. If your current friends are not in the same mind frame as you, it is ok to move on as long as you are doing your own thing. If you are opened to new experiences, eventually you will make new friends who have more in common with you.

If you take the time and read some journals here, you will notice the pattern "All my friends from uni now have jobs, girlfriends, live on their own, while I'm still here playing with my xbox". Apparently, no one wants to be the Xbox guy.

Who will you be?

I put these two days together because it felt like a bad low-budget remake of groundhog day. Traded one bad addiction for another one and spent both feeling sorry for myself while destroying myself.

Adventure Log:

Woke up late(10:30am) instead of my usual 5:30 am-6:00 am. Went to the gym and had an interesting conversation. It was a nice change of pace because we I go to the gym I usually keep to myself. We had many things in common such as being reserved and anti-social in high school and being late-boomers. He talked about practicing conversation with everyone and being patient with self-growth. I put this off a lot using excuses such as "I need to focus on my own development", "My studies are more important than relationships", etc. My main takeaways were try to approach more people and connect with more people because my social skills are still lacking.

Adventure Log:

Typical Sunday. Nothing Productive going on, ZEROOO. Week 1 review!

I survived, but I did not thrive! I abstained from playing video games and porn but I continued to stream videos and browse the web. Trading one addiction for another  instead of properly replacing the bad habits. I need to find more hobbies and or meaningful work to do.

+Abstinence

-No direction/plan

-Slacking off

-Lack of consistency

Triggered! Triggered! Triggered! Downloaded, installed then uninstalled Steam in span of a couple of minutes. I stopped playing a while ago, but I can't stop looking at gaming stuff.

You are doing great, mate! When I had cravings, it helped me coming to the forum and reading some journals.

What if you changed your achievements section from the things you want to stop doing for things you want to do?

That's still better than quitting video games to snort cocaine lol. 

IMO videos and browsing the internet is less addictive than video games and porn, and I would consider that progress - of course ideally we want to quit videos and internet browsing all together. I swear, some of the sites like youtube must be investing huge amounts of money to figure out how to make you continuously view videos for as long as possible.  

Good job on working on your social skills. 

Stay strong man!

Cheers man. When you feel a strong craving get out of the house. Go for a walk.

Check out the Habitica App for android or ios, could work for your style.

YOOO! Thank you, I'll check it out.

YOOO! Thank you, I agree. I've been focusing too much on quitting. The more I think about quitting, the more I want to go back to my old ways.

Day 7. If you can do one week, you can do any week!

YOOO! Thank you. Same old sh*t just a different day. :)

YOOO! Thank you. Interesting you say that, I'm going to be reading the book, Hooked next. I always wondered why certain things catch on and what makes them so appealing such as Pokemon Go.

What are some other things you can do together instead?

We ended up playing ball and playing some board games.
