Nice to meet you! I really identify with your story. I also grew up playing Diablo 2 and as an adult Diablo 3, Diablo 4, HOTS. I give you SO much credit for deciding to step away from gaming, and it's really impressive you were able to do so for 6-7 years! Do you mind if I ask what sorts of changes/improvements you noticed in yourself? Do you have any personal advice for a fledgling GameQuitter?

Hi there! My name is Travis and I'm 38 years old from Pittsburgh, PA. My main reason for coming to GameQuitters (and Respawn) is that I've always felt there is a better (or more productive) way to be spending my free time. Historically, I've been a big Final Fantasy and Pokemon fan and have put WAY too much time into both of these games. I've also had a bit of an unhealthy attachment to Pokemon GO - however I'm a bit nervous to lose this hobby as I play with my boyfriend and several other good friends. I think ultimately my goal would be to spend more time working on personal and professional development, finances, and growing a YouTube channel as a side hustle. I'm looking forward to journaling on here and getting to know you all!  

It has been a few years since I was on this forum. I have been doing a lot of mindless browsing and playing videogames these past few years.  This time, I am serious about quitting videogames and I am going to stop spending so much time on Reddit and Youtube.  The pandemic, my mum's health and some financial worries have made my gaming and browsing habits much worse.  My mum has gotten better, but has clearly some anxiety issues which will need to be helped with.   I have been thinking of going back to my social club, which I haven't been to for 5 years.  I am going to do drawing again, I did a lot of that during the pandemic, but stopped after the pandemic ended.  I am also learning about history and currently reading about the Russian Revolution.
