André - 90 day detox

Day 21 - Three weeks of no gaming

Gaming has its benefits, but I don't miss it.

Gaming takes what is real (life and everything in it), and puts us in virtual reality.

This virtual reality makes use of sense perception, mainly hearing and sight. Our feeling perception is subdued to pressing buttons on a controller or keyboard/mouse. 

Our focused attention is on the virtual reality in front of us.

Virtual is defined as follows: "not physically existing as such but made by software to appear to do so"

Stopping gaming, is a major step to switch off virtual reality and focus on what is real.

Our life.
Our body.
Our experiences.
The present moment.

Focusing all my awareness to the present moment and the "real" life has pulled my attention so much that I find that the detox is easy.

Almost effortless.

Day 30 - Well... that was weird

Removing gaming from my life has made me explore areas of my life I'd never thought I would.

  • Spiritual awakening (with my Christ as my foundation)
  • Mindfulness
  • Yoga
  • Classical guitar (I already play guitar, but something inside me wants to take this path)
  • Cooking school (I'm more serious about finishing the course)

A special thanks to Cam Adair for starting this community. You have my sincere gratitude. 

Also, a big thanks to those who take the time to read my journal updates.

A word of encouragement + some reality:

Quitting gaming is the start of your "new" life. It's a new chapter. 

But how much you change will depend on how much introspection you're willing to do. And if you do, and stick to it...

You will change.

You will do things that you were made to do.

You'll know who you are, and realise that you weren't created to play video games.

You were made for so much more.

And that there's more to life, than just "this".

Day 38 - An update

My inactivity on the Game Quitters forum should not be seen as a sign of a relapse.

I merely don't make time to update my Game Quitter journal.

I've been doing many things these days, and realised that I feel so much more fulfilled - even when compared to how gaming made me feel.
