Noor Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hello Game Quitters ! Name's Noor from Indonesia. I've been trying to quit gaming and excessive binge-watching for years (3 years exactly) since I started going to college. I often relapsed, especially when the tensions were high (usually near the end of a semester), when I usually spent hours, days even , to game or watch YouTube videos (about gaming). It helped me a lot to be relaxed as I always getting quite anxious at those times, but doing that does not exactly helping me with the assignments. I skipped classes, ignored my assignments because I was too tired after staying up late for gaming or binge-watching. Currently I'm in my last year, and I felt that I missed out so much from the real life. My life isn't on the rock bottom, but I'm not happy. Gaming, binge-watching are sure entertaining and help you fill your time, but it's not exactly what I want to do with my life. So, today I decided to join this forum and uninstall all of my games. Maybe going cold turkey and joining a game quitting community would make this attempt finally be the successful one. Also I want to gain information about gaming addiction. For me , It's quite an issue, yet I don't think people talk about it in my home country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krugers Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Hey Noor! Great you're here and good luck with quitting! I discovered a short meditation (e.g., Headspace/Calm) is a way better stress reliever for me. And substituting gaming with healthy activities, as Cam suggests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
