Emily 5 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) I decided to start the 90 detox today at 8p.m. Becuase I already played video games in the morning and the evenings before work And I knew If I waited tomorrow to start, it won't work I know I just managed the first three or four hours But I feel like I succeeded because I always play during the late night hours And until the clock reaches the sleeping hours But I didn't I know it's just the first day But I feel like I succeeded because I felt so many "good" reasons to play I feel ill; I want to rest in bed and play I don't like the anxious feeling I am feeling now; I want to walk away and play I am not getting the well-deserved verbal communication from my family members; I want to play But I didn't Instead When I came home at night I plop myself next to a bookshelf, grabbed a picture book, and spent a quiet night And now, I am thinking how can make every day end like this night I know today is just the first day, But the decisions and the choices I made today mattered.

Emily 5 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 I'm really sorry for the cringe; I promise the rest of the journal entry won't be miserably cringey as this one I just needed something write to pass the night. (Okay, I will stop) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
