Dig Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Hello, My name is Diego. I'm an 18yo braziliam. At the beginning of the year I realized how much I am addict to gaming and failed trying to stop gaming, I didn't play in Jan., Feb., and March, but when April started I was depressed and start playing again. I don't know how to stop, my computer is where I study, where I spend my time for 7 years. When I try to stop, a feeling like "I need more comes", this is hard for me. I will try to change my life again, without games. TODAY (28/05) IS THE LAST DAY I PLAYED Thx for your attention!

ElectroNugget Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Good luck with your journey Diego! I have the same problem that I use my computer to work as well as to game. If you're really serious about quitting, you need to put barriers on your computer between you and your games. How you do that is up to you. In my case, I deleted all my game clients, had a family change and keep the passwords and installed a program called ColdTurkeyBlocker that blocks some other apps and sites that I don't want to interrupt my day. With all those measures, quitting gaming became a lot easier for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I already have a healthy life without sugar and fast food, but I want to change more my room always clean and stop wasting my time when I need to study. Today was a good day, yesterday I was uneasy, but I survived and I'm here to write my new history. Games were consuming my life and what we have of most important in life, our time.

I'm feeling relieved the other time that I tried and failed I was looking for my problem like something that I can't win, so this time I've changed my mindset and this is being easy.

Dig Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) NO GAMING DAY 4 | NO FAP DAY 4 | NO EXCUSES DAY 4 Good Night, Today was hard again, I saw my sister playing and it made me want to play too, but I didn't. Lately, I am looking for an excuse to stay in my bed without study, this is like self-sabotage I need to study, but I didn't do anything. Today (01/06) was a holiday in my city, so my gym was closed and tomorrow will be too. Something which is helping me a lot is Cold Turkey that @ElectroNugget said, I have some "tics" like when I'm watching a video I start opening other pages and do a lot of things in the same time, I think this is because of my anxiety. GOALS: Spoiler Weekly Goal(s) I will finish 2 weeks of plans in 1. Monthly Goal Finish 10 weeks of plans in 5 weeks and focus on the gym. 3 Month Goal Keep with a good job studying and keeping games far, improve my body without leaving my diet Year Goal Do a good college entrance examination. What I could have done to make my day better I could get up out of bed and study, in a few months I will have a test that I need to pass. What I will do differently tomorrow/What I have planned for tomorrow: I will stop complain and start doing what is need.

JaySK Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Good luck, Diego! I'm with you on exercising. I just did my first really intense exercise for the first time in a while tonight and I'm so beat I don't think I would play right now even if I hadn't committed to stopping. I didn't know about the cold turkey program, but out of sight out of mind definitely is helping me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx dude, exercising is a good way to change your life, you start worrying about your alimentation and other things that are important to your life to be healthy. Therefore Cold Turkey is a nice program to my problem. Good luck with your journey too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) NO GAMING DAY 8 | NO FAP DAY 8 | NO EXCUSES DAY 8 Good Night, Today I was so anxious that my gym was 7:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. I already put my clothes but I'm happy talking with this girl, she went to sleep now and I'm editing this post, here is 3 a.m., before I back to gaming I had a relationship with a girl who doesn't worry about life, she was so normal, boring, the new seems different. She already invited me to go to her house, I think this is because of her age. Therefore, I did a new workout today was hard but enjoying the process is the key to achieve your goals.

Dig Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 NO GAMING DAY 12 | NO FAP DAY 2 | NO EXCUSES DAY 12 Good Night, This week has been one of the best, of all my life, I don't miss games more on Friday I had a date, but I have a doubt NO FAP is only when I watch porn and masturbate or if someone did this to me I lose my counter? Therefore I reset my counter, yesterday I went to a bar and after this to her house. But this week wasn't only good things when I see my progress of study and gym this week was low, I didn't complete my goal "2 weeks of study in 1 week" and I only went to the gym 3 days of 6. Probably I will write something in my Diary every 3 days because in this way I have more to say. So have a good week and thanks for reading my Diary.

The magic is, you can (and should) specify it yourself before you get into it, so you can't stigmatize yourself if you did something borderline. It's a tool to get rid of unwanted behavior. Not something you should enforce on your partner. That said, I guess ONS mentality might be unwanted, but it's up to you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) NO GAMING DAY 13 | NO FAP MO DAY 13 | NO EXCUSES DAY 13 Good Afternoon, I was supposed to write here on Wednesday but I want to answer @Ikar. So my day was easy again in the night I will workout chest and triceps and in the morning I read some texts about No Fap and discover different types of No Fap(MO, PM, PMO or Hard Mode...), I decided to be part of No Fap MO and reconfigured my counter. Therefore thx for the advice Ikar, I read about it because of you and I understand what you said about "enforce on your partner" I never will do that LMAO this was why I didn't stop her and about "ONS mentality" I think or night was not casual, probably I will try to have a relationship with her, was so good. I agree with you I don't like One-Night Stand I prefer something with emotions. So thx again for your comment. 10 hours ago, Ikar said: The magic is, you can (and should) specify it yourself before you get into it, so you can't stigmatize yourself if you did something borderline.

I like to think this is a weakness and I'm just complaining about being an addict and I felt angry with me, so this was my solution. I nothing saying "Addict is just complaining or laziness" I know how this is, but my solution was this. Therefore, I'm disappointed with a friend today she broke my confidence so I buy 12 beers, I'm sad. Wasn't the girl that I'm going out. Yesterday I had an idea I will post every day, but only write something like I did today every 3 days, I will make a template of my schedule and post here and check if I did everything I need.

Dig Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 NO GAMING DAY 28 | NO FAP MO DAY 28 | NO EXCUSES DAY 28 Good Morning, It has been a while since I wrote here and I kept far from games and porn, though I wasn't studying enough until this week. Besides, the girl that I was meeting she is talking about dating but I will wait for a while. So, my life has been amazing ever since I quit gaming, but what I'm doing to stay far from games? This was easier than you think, in the begin, I was looking for something to do when I wasn't playing, so, I start reading and found new hobbies and this month I will finish my English course, yes I know my English is horrible, but I did my best. What I want to say is, in my case, stop complaining and do what you need to do this forum was the first step to help me, however, after that, you're the only person who can help yourself was 15 years of gaming, I'm 18yo, and this stopped 28 days ago, enjoy your life there is a lot of things to see out off your computer screen. At last, everyone knows the impact of gaming in your life if you want to change what is stopping you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 NO GAMING DAY 2 Hi, I'm back and trying again to stop gaming. Today is my second day of detox, last week I tried and I'm still trying. Generally, on my second day, I think "I can play again, this doesn't will take 12 hours of my day", but this always happens again and again. Another problem is this quarantine I can't leave home, so, I feel more anxiety and believe that I can control my addiction, sadly, it's stronger than me. I just needed to put these thoughts in worlds. Further forward, I will talk about my last posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might it be helpful to maybe rephrase your words regarding the addiction, so that it is not some external force that controls you, but rather that it is you actively deciding to play games? Because I think, while this does sound like a bad idea, it is a way to start taking responsibility for your actions and therefore taking responsibility (and power) away from the addiction.
