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?
Cam Adair Posted July 21, 2016 Posted July 21, 2016 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.
Reno F Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) 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? Edited July 22, 2016 by Reno F

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.---
Cam Adair Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Engaging in your communities will make a big difference in your life. I used to go to the gym and stay to myself too, but now I enjoy it a lot more ever since I started to meet others who go.

Daniel Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited July 26, 2016 by Daniel
Cam Adair Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Day 7. If you can do one week, you can do any week!
Reno F Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 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?

I need to find more hobbies and or meaningful work to do.+Abstinence 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!

KO Posted August 14, 2016 Author Posted August 14, 2016 Gaming Relapse... What happened broGot bored, gave up , then I reinstalled Steam.
KO Posted August 24, 2016 Author Posted August 24, 2016 So what can we learn from it? Gaming will never improve my mood, it will only make it worse or at best hide it until the feelings of disappointment comeback.
