Guest Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Physical activities are essential! It's surprising how sedentary you can be by playing video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshi2000 108 Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Today is day 11. I've been so tired from all my work its actually good because now instead of playing video games, I sleep! It makes me feel better and healthier and I'm already happy I quit! Thanks,Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad this is working out and I hope my brain chemistry and dependency on the games really changes Thanks,Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad 338 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Have you noticed any differences in your brain chemistry so far, eshi?How much serotonin are you registering lately? Jokes aside, you will probably feel it in retrospect. It's much like pain - people usually suddenly realize that something stopped hurting some time ago.

eshi2000 108 Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 @Mettermrck Well it's only been two weeks, I can't say I've seen real brain chemistry change, but I also don't know how to tell if its changing! I'll definitely tell you when I notice a significant change. What are the signs that its changing? Anyways, two weeks exactly, about half a month, it's actually quite some time if you think about it.

eshi2000 108 Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 Day 15 here. I've gotta admit I've had a few cravings when I'm on the computer and bored. It's good though because I have all this game quitters stuff bookmarked, it really is a good reminder of my detox and to not relapse. I noticed the cravings come when I see the youtube icon actually, haha, even when my icon is Cam's youtube channel. Thanks,Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshi2000 108 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Hi it's day 16! I think games are still in my head, but I'm starting to lose interest in them, which is pretty awesome! They don't seem as necessary to me anymore, and I'm super thankful this is working. Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mettermrck 1076 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 You're doing great, eshi. I may not be able to post on your journal every day in the next couple weeks but I'm pulling for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshi2000 108 Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 It's day 18. It's getting easier and easier I think. I can already feel the benefits of not having video games and even not having them in your mind lets you be so much more productive and have time to do things I actually enjoy Thanks,Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eshi2000 108 Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just checking in day 19 sorry it's so late. I don't have much to say, but that its working out pretty well Thanks,Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eshi2000 108 Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 Day 20. I got a phone today, a Vodafone smart first 7. I got it because it's not too powerful so it shouldn't be able to run games. I'm going to try to use it so that I can maintain contact with people through whatsapp and other messaging services. I'll let you know how it goes, and hopefully it won't be too much of a temptation or i'll have to get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eshi2000 108 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Day 22. My best days are when I have lots to do, lots of work to do. That way I'm too busy to think about the games and they seem really unimportant next too all my work. Just some thoughts Thanks,Eli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin 124 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Day 22. My best days are when I have lots to do, lots of work to do.

Keep in mind that you can make the day as busy as you want. You fill in the day by doing some push-ups, reading something or going out for a run.Keep going! - Velzen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
