Guest Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) I relapsed today, playing games for 10 hours. About an hour ago I got a call from my girlfriend, which snapped me out of the game and back into real life. I closed the game, uninstalled steam.

Guest Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I've stopped playing since I posted this but I feel very low drive/ motivation right now and i'm not sure if it's because I tried gaming again or if I tried gaming again because of low motivation.

BooksandTrees Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 This is 5 months late, but I never really go in this part of the forums. Sorry to hear about this. What kind of progress and changes have you made since June? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorAddict Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Hi asquerade. I think you are going great! Wanting to battle the urge is the first step to getting better from gaming addictions. Give yourself some compliments too! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipperhead Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I hope you still doing well? I too have relapsed after nearly three years and again have my relationship on the ropes. I thought I could just "check" out a game. Nope. Like an alcoholic, you can never ever touch the stuff again, or it pulls you under. Stay strong, and hope to see a message here soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanfriedman Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The addict inside me always tries to find a way to justify my behavior. Just one game, just one hour, just one more hit, just read one article - any where it can get a hold of me. One of the posts compares this to being an alcoholic and that's spot on. Fight the good fight, stay strong in your mind, keep busy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hey, I just visited the forum again to look at some old diary posts. And saw that quite a few people responded here a few months later. Thank you for all your replies. I have been able to stay away from video games again since then. Hope you all are doing well too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
