Hi I’m Brian.

i just purchased respawn and have started working my way through the modules. I’m not normally one for posting about myself but I’m following the guide and having faith it will help me successfully address my gaming addiction, so here I am.

My first challenge is a full week without gaming. The past fortnight I’ve gotten through every weekday but have been less successful with the weekends. My gaming issues are largely around stress relief and a sense of accomplishment.

I’m looking to get over my gaming addiction in order to make better use of my time, focus on real life accomplishments and generally be a better person.

Wish me luck, I’ll let you know how I go this week and following respawn. Thanks!

Welcome! It can be really stressing putting yourself out there, but you can keep yourself as private as you feel comfortable with. Normally you'll become more open with sharing the more you post, but it's your journey and you set the pace.

Looking forward to your updates with Respawn! You can do this, we have your back.

Hi Brian! Thanks for grabbing Respawn.

Following the guide will work. If we can help at all just let us know. There is an entire community who's got your back. Welcome.

Thanks for the feedback and the encouraging words guys. I started up a journal on the forums, which is something very new for me. Hopefully it’ll help with the whole process. Let’s see how it goes!

Welcome Brian!

There are plenty of things you can do to relieve stress other than gaming. I recommend finding something that does not require a lot of energy, that way it still has the relaxing element you were seeking from games.

Hi Brian, I know how hard (and sometimes counterintuitive) it can be to have faith in some self-improvement strategies. I think joining this online community is definitely something worth trying and I hope it works for you.

Thanks Giblets and Marco. I appreciate the support.
