Mohammad Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Ok, I played again! Going to try again from today 2019-07-29. This time, I want to keep the mouse out of reach so that I cannot play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohammad Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Day 1: No gaming The mouse technique worked pretty fine! Didn't experience the temptation because I knew I wouldn't bother playing without a mouse :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adminiculum Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Hi mate, maybe you should try to post here daily so you keep yourself on track :). Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohammad Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ok, I will try to post more often. It's been more than a month that I am playing and it is just so hard to start. I know that it gets easier after a couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohammad Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 I came to a coffee shop for a study. I feel the urge to go home and play. I know it is not just a game, it is my life that is in danger! however, I am fooling myself that its weekend and I can have some fun! I also started to read a new book this morning: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. That's a motivational book that I believe I need to get some momentum for the start. I read some books in the past few months that I was on 90-day detoxes to name a few: Rich dad poor dad, Sapiens: a brief history of humankind, and Grit: The power of passion and perseverance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohammad Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 Thankfully, I didn't play last night. I went to the beach today in the morning, and then I came to a coffee shop to study. I will study here and probably will go home when its time to sleep :D Think and Grow Rich is a compelling self-help book that gives me what I need.

I have now a very high energy and I have learned how to keep the energy up. That is the end of the gaming habit for me. I have learned life is a better game to play. I recommend reading the book.

BooksandTrees Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Mohammad, I apologize for being critical of you for your recent posts. Please accept my apology if I sound rude. I just read one or two pages and all you say is you didn't play a game today. You're failing and restarting your day counter and then getting angry that you're failing. Write down why you're failing. We're all strangers here. None of us can offer you help if you're not going to open up and elaborate on why you're failing. I don't know what your hobbies are, what you do for work, do you live alone or have family, are things stressing you out causing you to seek video games as a stress release??? Since you're not writing about trying to change or giving any details about your experience quitting video games all I can assume is you're going on shear willpower to quit games and battling every day. When you battle every day eventually you lose. Discuss why you're seeking video games, what in your life is a trigger, and formulate some ideas for replacing the need to game. I played games because I was lonely and wanted to get attention and achievement. I now do better at work, rock climb, play board games, and eat out with new friends. I have zero cravings anymore. It's not a battle for me to stay away from games now because I've discovered why I played and replaced the needs. I'm 50 weeks in a row without gaming because I'm no longer fighting. I'm living. I apologize if I sounded rude, but please elaborate on your experience and let us help you. Nobody is going to be able to help if you're just writing a day counter.
