You are doing so well by keeping going despite the unexpected problem, stay strong I believe in you!

Days 5 and 6 - Day 5 was alright, I tried to spend as much time as possible doing my uni work, I was in uni from 10-3 and then when I was home I was just trying to get stuff done, day 6 I handed in my uni work, I am a bit disappointed because I definitely didn't get round to doing as much as I had hoped, so I know that my marks are not going to be what I really thought they maybe should be, I really feel like I am a year and a half into my degree without enough knowledge and feel like I have not put anywhere near enough work in which I really said I would before I started, I have 2 weeks for another deadline so I really need to get my head into this and try as hard as I can to get something sorted.  On the upside I was distracted enough to not really think too much about video games, and I managed to write a cover letter to apply for a placement year job for my course so hopefully they get back to me about my application, would really like to work for a year and spend that time trying to learn a bit more as well but I do think it will be hard to secure a job as my skills are not what they should be. 

Hey yeah I did post on there, I have a different reddit account which is working okay but I kind of forgot I didn't actually log into it on my phone yet, so I will try that and see if that helps, it probably should do! I have my e reader and I should carry it around more, the problem I seem to have with that is I always feel I can't stop unless I am at the end of a chapter which can often take a fair bit of time for me

Day 28/90: Had a huge personal-life stressor show up. Sticking to the detox took a huge mental effort last night. I just wanted to shut my brain off. I managed to not resort to gaming. I knew this time period would be hard for work, but the personal-life thing was 100% unexpected. I'm using this journal as a daily reminder that I want to stick to the 90 day goal. I just wish I had gaming under control so that I could use it as a tool to relax. But I know I would just inevitably lose control, get shitty sleep, and kill my motivation, just like all the other times before. Two more days until day 30!

Welcome back! Is gaming the main impact on your sleep? Would love to hear more about the challenges you're facing.
