90 Detox Challenge

[Returner]

Goal: The goal is 90 days without gaming, and other influences via "game play videos, live streamers, gaming forums, and the like".

Identification as Gamer:  MMORPG player

Reason for gaming: Escapism and Dependency

  >Other forms of "escapism and dependency": Internet surfing and porn (note: these two will be tracked during the 90 detox challenge as well)

Reason for quitting gaming: A healthier life: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically.  A life not deprived of sleep, malnutrition,  and poor hygiene.  A life not dependent on external influences.  A life not bitter and tired.  A life not cramped up in a seat in front of a monitor all day long.  A life not filled with insecurities and lack of confidence.

Planned Replacements:  Reading, learning guitar, working out,  and writing.

Desire: To take positive action and less dwelling and negative thinking.

Day 1/90: Success

Potential cues/triggers: Using the phone for its non intended use. 

Remedy: Shifting focus away through actions (replacements) and change of environment.

Reflections: Day 1.  A game of cat and mouse with old habits.  Today I have won, and tomorrow I fight again.
