Guest Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 2/90 I had a dream about gaming. Unbelievable! Past year I wasn't heavy gaming user but rather heavy internet user. That's my problem that this thing for me is connected. I read in past one story about walking on another street I will share for us: “I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place. But, it isn't my fault. It still takes me a long time to get out. I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in. It's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. I walk down another street.” So I must leave my current street with its habits and walk for another street. It's that simple but not easy. Today I'm going to think about next steps and habits I want to create. If you struggle, or you need to talk with someone or you feel lonely I'm here! Feel free to PM me.
Guest Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) 3/90 After checking some reddit pages like alcoholism, stopdrinking, stopgaming, addiction and nosurf I realized that I must go on 100% to change my life. 50 or 75 percent is not enough, because you still have gate open to those things you have addicted to. I saw posts where people took their lives man. Lately I saw documentary about heroin where people said that life is boring without drugs. And interesting thing that some people were clean 2 years and still thinking about it. Yesterday I had pretty normal day but zero energy to do something. I wasn't out with my dog or even for a walk alone. Majority time I spend with my parents, listening music and some internet. I thinking about drawing. This is my little dream to learn how to express myself with it. I don't know what else to write here. I will see what I will do today. I dont need videogames anymore you know. It's only illusion to real life. You press buttons and some things move at screen. And you like this? You want to make this core thing in your life? Are you kidding me? The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. Update: I destroyed my last game equipment which I could not sell for a long time. What a relief. Exactly God of War and Xbox 360(main unit) console. It's worth it. Edited January 11, 2019 by Guest
Guest Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 4/90 Yesterday I bought Wacom Intuos S. Feel free to laugh ? Some things draw my sister.
Guest Posted January 13, 2019 Posted January 13, 2019 5/90 No games and internet just a little bit. I was occupied with family event so there was no time for crap. I started to doubt that is good write journal and be here in community. But maybe is only my brain mechanism to take me where I won't to be. I feel better and I have a lot more energy. That forum membership help me a lot because keep me informed about others and I'm not alone with problems in life especially with addiction. Is this even possible? Be hooked to gaming and dont realize that you have problem? Yes of course. This is most valuable lesson for us. To achieve something you must lose something. I promise myself to heal and solve my problems. I'm finally doing it. Be strong guys even you are older than me 40s,50s and so on. It's not late for you! I heard stories about fathers who spend their free time playing World of Tanks and dont pay attention to their kids. Please dont be like that! I would throw my pc from window if my crying woman or kids say me that you sitting in front of pc everyday and you dont take kids for a walk. And for those how have younger siblings pay attention to them. Play with them and take them for a walk or to the zoo. Or try help them if they struggle with something.
Guest Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) 6/90 Pretty good day I guess. I was drawing some things or trying to draw is better description ?. Drawing apple, cat, banana even owl. Is not easy but practice make this perfect. Interesting thing is when I searching tutorials on web and then trying to draw or draw them completely I feel good, like be in flow. I think this drawing thing is very therapeutic. After that I was pretty interested in dj technics. I was looking at dj console, programs and videos on youtube. Pretty interesting thing but I dont know if good for me. I and learning to DJ? AFKM ?. So one free day remains and show must go on. Tomorrow I going to work. Edited January 14, 2019 by Guest

Guest Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 7/90 I have problems with my car. So that's pretty awesome to my budget oh that irony. Problem with the pump I guess. My boss give me more tasks so I'm happy again ?. Not the end of the World. Gaming is dead for me. No cravings. But I must still be aware and be careful. The most worries me overweight in number 20 kg above my normal weight. It's snowing AF. More things to do. Where is my shovel?
Lea Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 That's great! Oddly enough, since I quit gaming and watching YouTube, I do not have any cravings so whatever. But what I am scared of are relapses and reverting back to my old, bad habits.
Guest Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 8/90 Not much to said. No games or searching for it. I'm little bit nervous because I must go to work often. You can be an average person and still be a hero because of your decision. Nice quote Lea. Today I will sell the last one of my gaming equipment. I'm going to pay attention to myself especially what I want to do. I'm going to relax.
Guest Posted January 17, 2019 Posted January 17, 2019 9/90 I must admit that I have problem with internet overuse. Again but with minimal subjects of interest. I'm not at facebook, twitter, instagram or whatever. I have only this account and email. Its big step I think. But I spend a lot of time in front of the screen on mobile and computer checking stuff that is not important for me. I think that Cam speak about this. I want to entertaint with myself rather than going do thing which is important. I saw video about quit gaming on his channel and that guy there speak only truth. It's not about only quit different things but rather start new better things and start to go into your soul deeper. You can stop playing games and checking internet or whatever for 90 days. But when you do only resist it will not working. You will fall on this pit again. This is my morning thoughts. I drink coffee and thinking about to stop that terrible habits. I'm not lazy. I 'm working in my job and do tasks on 100%. I am responsible for 250 tons of copper every day. But in my free time I'm still that undecided person, which dont go on 100%. At home I do not finish things. Ahh man. You would rather spend your time in front of the screen and staring at imaginary things and mostly be entertained with stupid pictures, youtube videos or shows. Are you fucking me? Or watching girls behind the screen you never ever meet in future. Man you must start growing and do things. You like drawing, listening music even reading books. What the hell are you waiting for? In this life is not miracles or easy things. Yes we all know easy way but. But it end in hell rather in heaven.
Guest Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) 10/90 I love you katsudo19 and I'm proud of you. Not for ten days no gaming or whatever. I love you because you are human being. You are good enough! I see your laughing soul my friend. You are preparing for walking on another street. You will fail, fail ,fail, fail fucking fail but then win. Start visualise and affirmations every morning on when you go to bed. Start building discipline with make your bed daily and always brush your teeth. You are perfectly imperfect. You will lose something and gain something. They were wrong about you. You are fucking awesome! Edited January 18, 2019 by Guest
Guest Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 11/90 I bought respawn to support Cam. He make a lot of for us and he deserves the money. Thank you Cam! Real life is better than videogames. Life is not easy but we must dive into our souls and find what we really want to do. Shut down TV, PC, Mobile etc and be alone in your room and start thinking. This is crucial. Yesterday I was talking with my collegue and he started speaking about Counter Strike and what fun he have playing in the past etc. In my mind pop up that was great times. I was aware that I didnt fall to this pit again. And I'm here 11 days free from gaming. Internet is my next goal. I want to use it responsibly with certain goals. Not only to distracting myself. I like that saying take action than motivation. Action for us is crucial. If you read this I want to say to you can to this too. Dont be hard on yourself.

Guest Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) 12-13/90 So I must admit that I have problem with my weight. I'm 20 kg overweight. My back hurts and also knees. I must create my self workout routine because this is crucial. In the past when I exercising a lot a didnt eat candies or junk food. First exercise then food edit. I created better environment around myself. I put pictures on shelf with David Goggins quotes and on my notice board I put some images about It's time, Do it now and so on. I must be that do it now person because we only have present moment. Past cannot be changed and future is uncertain. I feel pain you know. Especially physical pain. Is a results of my decision in past. This little decision which we make everyday have big impact on us in future. Motivation? Do you need motivation? Really? Nope! You need discipline. I dont know what else write in here. I must go. I am grateful for: 1. Eyes 2. Legs 3. Realization that I have problem 4. Family 5. Job 6. Ears 7. Hands 8. I found picture of Robert Redford 9. Possibilities 10. People with I share my pain on GQ Edited January 21, 2019 by Guest

Guest Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) 14/90 Life is fluid not solid. You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend. Human are adaptable. Look on the Planet. We can live almost on all places on Earth. I think even you put human to hell he will find a way. Like Bataan Death March where soldiers suffered. We must admit that we are weak generation. We give up easily. It's okay. We face new problems and we are in in another environment as our ancestors. We must find our inner strength and have strong why we do what we do. Edited January 22, 2019 by Guest

Guest Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 15/90 Dreamer Martin Garrix I'm a dreamer Don't tell me not to dream I got freedom And that's everything to me It don't matter What I've got or where I go I'll find shelter a million miles from home It ain't easy to keep going when it's hard Keep shining in the dark When you wanna fall apart But I'm a dreamer So don't tell me not to dream I'm a believer As long as I got something to believe in As long as I got something to believe in As long as I got something to believe in As long as I got something to believe in As long as I got something to believe in I'm a lover Don't tell me who to love I'm a runner 'Cause I've got somewhere to run I just listen to the voices in my head When they tell me I always have something to believe in As long as I got something to believe in As long…
