Ready to begin the journey...

[ValarMaiar]

Hey everyone. I'm from the UK and I've just joined up. I've been lurking on r/stopgaming for a while but I've decided that now is the time to go cold turkey and actively take part in the community. I started gaming very early, probably around 4 or 5, and it soon became obsessive. Getting stuck into Runescape, Guild Wars and other RPGs like the Elder Scrolls really cemented it for me during my teenage years. Whilst there have been a couple of times over the years when I've acknowledged that I game too much, they have been few and far between, always convincing myself that I can cut back whenever I like.

So here I am, in my twenties, one year into married life and realising this has to stop. I'm going to do a 90-day detox and see what happens. I'm just so desperate to clear my 'brain fog' and enjoy life a whole lot more. I want to be able to be a good husband and stop letting gaming eat up my time and energy.

Lovely to meet you all. Let's go!

I figured you for an RPGer with a name like ValarMaiar. ? i grew up on Tolkien and I've done Elder Scrolls and many others. Good to have you!

I can relate with the gaming, once you spend your first $60 bucks on RPGs, theres no going back. Glad to have you onboard.
