Jacked Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 At first it was just fun. Then it was fun with problems. Now it's just problems. The escapism isn't working like it used to. I know I want more than this. Sometimes I see myself from a different perspective: hunched over in my parents garage, staring into a screen throughout all hours of the night. How did I let myself get to this point.. a 22 year old man-child. No job, no experience, no car, no friends, no relationship ... Games have no place in my life anymore. It's about time I moved on. I'll do anything to feel like I'm alive again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodvibes Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 One of the best decisions you will ever make - commit to the detox and you will do well!For your reference to help along the way here is ..A welcoming statement In preparation for a 90 day detox and beyond .. First move the consoles & games out of sight so it stays out of mind .. This includes uninstalling them from the computer & devices! .. Once it is done you can move on from there & a lot easier I might add.Getting rid of the games for good enabled me to finish the detox strong, consider that.After that you need to teach yourself how else to spend that free time! Make sure you are eating healthy, getting daily exercise, & proper sleep ..
