Hello everyone, I'm an 18 year old guy, and I've had enough of this 'addiction' that has developed over the years, mainly due to me being a sort of recluse. I spend most of my time nowadays on the computer, and the urge just creeps out of nowhere. The longest time I kept resisting was about 2-3 weeks last year, when I was still in high school. At that period, not only did I ace math tests like a freakin' pro (mind you, I sucked at math before that), but I also never felt more alive in a long, long time. I want to get that feeling again. I would constantly strive to hold it for as long as a week, but my willpower kept dwindling as time went by. I'm in position where I definitely know I can do it, but a veil is covered between me and the goal I aspire to achieve. I want help tearing diwn that veil. That's sort of my intro, I guess.
Welcome to the community! You are in the right place to receive a lot of support. Make a goal and make a plan for when you will feel triggered. That way you can enact it right away and overcome. Remember this is a hard addiction to overcome so take it a day at a time and be patient. There are some links in my signature to help you get started. Stay strong!
