Amphibian220 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Daniel, i can see quite a bit of emotion and animosity towards games in your post. I’d say whereas in the beginning it can help yo quit, it is not a good direction to go in because regretting and being annoyed actually tires you out. It can make you lose your focus. You made this decision, but one thing that I have a strong instinctive belief about is : Cool, resolute and steadfast achieves goals and moves mountains, but emotional and angry cannot last long. One of the best ways of following through on something is having a cool mind and focused approach with what you want to achieve. I hope I don’t come off as too patronizing, its just that when I had the anger and regret it was hard to get far in my goals.

Guest Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Day 8 Walked with dog today, went to church at night and meet a lot of new people Im growing up, i can feel this. I want to become a growed man, there s a lot of things that want to achieve in my life, and actually im thinking much about my future. I like the present too, because im reading a lot, studying and enjoying my lifetime. I read today in a book that is not good to talk about negative stuff, and i decided to stop acting like a martyr in this journal. Today i downloaded a movie called "Im a Legend" and i will watch it by nightime. I finished my daily reading and i am looking forward to the end of the day. I thank @Amphibian220 for the valuable advice, i was needing this kind of word. Im happy that im going forward and finally achieving responsability and peace, and i hope than everyone in this forum achieve their objectives and find peace in their hearts.

What I recommend is that you read epic literature and that way you will eventually reorient your symbolic world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 16.1 - Honestly, im feeling pretty happier without games. I read in r/stopgaming that gaming is the manifestatation of our egos, and i agree with this. Without them i am sharing my life and things with other people, even donating them. I really believe that this is true, and i am loving to live a life without ego, i think we all are born to love and be loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this sindarin in your profile? I suggested epics because they usually have archetypal characters that you can associate and identify with. I see you are reading the Bible as well, that will surely help. I have Elendil's oath on my signature. It's Quenya. I am a huge Aragorn fan.

Amphibian220 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) You are at 24 days, if you feel confident to stop here, then I advise to keep a private diary my friend. Diaries are kept for different reasons, but I suggest using it as a self accountability tool that enables you to track emotions, goals achievement, health, skills development etc. I keep and update a private diary nearly every day and it helps me a lot.

I remembered a video that i watched today, and in this video a doctor said step by step on how our subconscious lead us to planning a relapse. Looking into a new perspective, i was doing this, and now i dont feel that dropping my journal is the best option. Video link: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
