    • Hey ZenYogi, and if I recall correctly, Pema, Just love and peace from me, for you, here. No harshness. Good on you to place the title of this post, "Oasis of Peace." I admire your courage to create a sanctuary for yourself. Here are two suggestions for you while you're in the thick of it, while you're noticing your patterns. 1. Whether or not you're gaming, do the best you can to listen to and watch anti-addiction content, particularly from the two best creators (in my opinion, let me know if there are others) on the web on gaming addiction, GameQuitters and Dr. K./HealthyGamer. All you have to is get that content into your bloodstream. Listen and watch it with the acknowledgment that you are actively moving beyond this, pardon my words, frankly shitty part of your life where things hurt and suck and feel terrible and hard to do, and know that with each and every second you engage with this content, you are contributing to your relief. So many people successfully come out of gaming addiction and reform their lives; I am becoming one of them, and you can become one of us too. It is so worth it.  Try this video, it helped me a lot to listen to while I was still gaming to pull me out of my cycle. https://youtu.be/HsAvXyXyfNU That's step one, just stay engaged with this content, whatever you're doing. 2. Step two: pull. Just fucking pull from the depths of yourself the motivation, the strength you have deep inside to change. The part of you that wants to change. You can do it. Change your life.   We're with you here, I'm with you here. Andrew
    • Quick jot of a note today -- I noticed myself tired in the last day, needing sleep -- very proud of myself to recognize that my very tired brain, when it also had some emotional stuff come up (in my body too, obviously), some thoughts of looking for a way to regulate it also came up. Some of that was porn, masturbation, I don't recall gaming really coming up. I'm glad to recognize in that moment what was happening, and to put down my digital device (my phone) and to just be with myself and sleep. I just needed rest and time. For anything more to process, I trust rest and time. I'll continue to journal and process anything I need to, talking with others too. I should be okay. 🙂 Yay. It's always relieving to successfully overcome another tide, another urge, another thought, however faint; with each one successfully passed I feel more whole, more myself, more available for life's bounties, more willing to accept happiness into my life. Andrew
