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.

  • @Haymitch you can do it, brother.   Three days ago I requested my Steam and league of leagends account deletion. This, and abstaining myself from seeing social media newsfeed has been a game

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.

Less sleep today. About 8-9 so it's coming back to normal.

Also I feel less tired. That's good symptom.

Third day I guess. But I still have to be sober for next 12 hours to count it as 3 days.

Thanks @gargamel I try to keep sanity though my withdrawals are severe so far.

If you keep completely away from games - painful withdrawals will subside after 2 weeks, trust me. Just keep at it.

Sure but games is not my only issue. Internet and computer and media at all that's the biggest problem

Got a lot of pressure but I dealt with it properly. Music and staying away from computer.

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.

  • 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.

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.

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.
