Day one.

Yesterday, I took down my set up, I put my monitors in the closet, and I put the PC there too. I put the laptop on the table and used it only for school stuff. I found myself laying in bed for 6 hours watching Twitch. I slept until 3 PM. That day, today, I took my monitors and PC upstairs and scheduled for a friend to take them away, I cleared out all my consoles, and I will give them away tomorrow. Today, now, 8:32 PM, I have begun the transition away from video games. I will likely lose friends, I hopefully get closer to family and get into a better place in life physically, mentally and emotionally. I am thrilled I found this community and I hope to change my life for the better.

Good job starting your journal - it will help a lot. Some friends will support you and others will not. The ones who support you are your true friends. You will also be able to make new friends through new activities like the gym, etc. Hang in there!
