Mohammad Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Hi. I am a father of a 2-month-old boy, and I cannot quit gaming. I love my son so much, but yet, for some reasons, I can't stop gaming! This is so sad and it's killing me! I need your help to get over this gaming habit! Edited June 13, 2018 by Mohammad 2

Blazing Man Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Hi Mohammad ! I think that what’s important to do when we want to cut an addiction is to understand WHY we’re addicted to that thing in the first place.To help you do that I recommend you to watch Cam’s vids that are on his Gamequitters YouTube channel, that might be a great start ! 2

Yes, I watched them. I think I like gaming because of the cognitive competition, and because it is an escape from those parts of my life that I do not like. 1

karabas Posted June 14, 2018 Posted June 14, 2018 Hey Mohammed, Read this after seeing your journal. I know how you feel (ish). I'm married and I found that gaming was destroying my amazing marriage. I'm always the meanest to my wife when she's preventing me from gaming. I'm 2/3 of the way through my 90 day detox and it's already made a huge difference, so stick with it! 1

Can't wait to see myself passing by this gaming habit! 1
Justin Whitelock Posted June 17, 2018 Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Glad to see you join us Mohammed! Just know that through your recovery we have your back! I think one thing you could do is find other things to do with any free time that you have. I don't know if boredom is what drives you to game (it could also be social, escape, achievement etc), but finding new ways to spend your time might work for you. I wish you the best Mohammad!
