Quitting Gaming Journal

So I have tried to quit gaming before several times and gave up. I don’t think gaming is entirely bad but I get easily addicted to it and it makes me feel tired and foggy and makes me unproductive. I really have a love hate relationship with gaming but I just can’t play it in a way where it doesn’t harm me. It’s fine in small amounts but I just can’t do that. I’m going to journal my progress daily and talk about what I will do to fill the time. Starts tomorrow!

 

Wow thats awful. Most guys at my age play video games so I don’t think it really ruins my social life too much although I should spend more time with my family. Wish people would go out more! I can still see my life being much better without games though.

 

Same to some extent I had friends wasn't really popular in high school lost them so started gaming and fapping instead.

 

That sucks

 

Had a better day today. Managed to get a good amount of work done and went outside. Did play some games with some friends in the evening but I don’t consider that to be too bad because it wasn’t for an extended period of time. Spent a lot of time on my ipad so I want to do less of that. I’m not quitting cold turkey as you can tell.

 

Felt quite foggy after being on the computer but conteracted it with a cold shower.

 

I'm like 3 months without playing games in a heavy way, I'm dying wanting to, but I can't, because I can't buy a video card at moment, then I play when I visit my friend in his place, which is once or twice per month. But I kinda like this abstinence of games, make easy to NoFap.

 

Yeah I feel a lot bettter when I don’t play which makes me less likely to relapse.

 

Thank you. I mean I don’t know if I want to wuit gaming completely but I have a feeling it could happen.

 

Didn’t play much at all today only for half an hour. Going good so far.

 

Right I’m back on this thread. I have tried playing in moderation but that hasn’t worked. I’m not going to play a single computer game for 90 days, I promise, no matter if my friends want me to play or not I really can’t live spend all my time on a damn game.

 

Wow good job. For me it’s all or nothing though.

 

Day 1 no gaming:
Got a lot more done today. Feel quite anxious and twitchy in public though due to binge gaming the last 4 days. Things will get better.

 

Very relatable, 5 yrs in a row already addicted to gaming. I am against computer games since Jan.

 

Lets beat this together!
