September 25, 20205 yr Let's start. 90 days. 1 day at a time. firm commitment. Today it's day 0 for me. 25th September. I'm gonna write here every time I feel the need as suggested. Couple of words is enough. I just want to be consistent and record my progress thru being game free.
September 25, 20205 yr Author I went for the last 15 minutes of meeting. 15 minutes of meeting is always better than 0 minutes of meeting. It's worth it.
September 26, 20205 yr Author Very regenerating sleep. Almost 10 hours and I feel it helps me today. Yesterday I slept poorly and I had problems with concentration, probably as the withdrawal from gaming. I wanted to use verb "rejuvanate" but it reminds me too much about my previous gaming experience. I'm happy that I'm aware of that.
September 26, 20205 yr Author Work is going pretty good so far. I mean it's hard for me to focus, but I'm not getting distracted. Also, I take care about taking breaks.
September 27, 20205 yr Author Still need a lot of sleep. I had a nightmares today and woke up in the middle of the night. Could sleep for about an hour. Seems like withdrawals.
September 28, 20205 yr Author Less sleep today. About 8-9 so it's coming back to normal. Also I feel less tired. That's good symptom.
September 28, 20205 yr Author The journals here are a great deal of knowledge. I just read some of @gargamel entries. Nicely done.
September 28, 20205 yr Welcome to the forum @Haymitch. I wish you best of luck on your 90 days detox.
September 28, 20205 yr Author Third day I guess. But I still have to be sober for next 12 hours to count it as 3 days.
September 28, 20205 yr Author Thanks @gargamel I try to keep sanity though my withdrawals are severe so far.

September 28, 20205 yr Author Sure but games is not my only issue. Internet and computer and media at all that's the biggest problem
September 28, 20205 yr Author Got a lot of pressure but I dealt with it properly. Music and staying away from computer.
September 30, 20205 yr Author I feel overwhelmed right now. A lot of things to do. And I had problem with staring too much at the screen, yesterday I was unable to write here.
September 30, 20205 yr Author Replied to @gargamel and @WhoCares journals. It's really uplifting for me.
October 1, 20205 yr Author I feel like it's a new chapter in my life. Even though I did a lot of tries in the past. I feel anxious right now. Hope this writing will help me a bit.
October 1, 20205 yr Author Maybe some kind of structure in this journal may help me? I don't really know.

I have a weekly update on Saturdays, daily updates, and then random outbursts that I feel I need to discuss. Try creating some formats that work for you. I started off in 2018 making it look like a blog post but then felt corny so I just write essay form now.
October 2, 20205 yr Author I regret wasted time. No gaming in definition, but youtube, streams with gaming, and basically anything media had + eating a lot of sugar. This occured to me for the last 2 days. It's time to stop it.
