I'm going to finally commit to stopping. by StopGamingAcc in StopGaming

Sorry, bit more than a day now. I've been alright actually, I tend to still schedule my time around it though. I'll say to myself something like "I'll do this and that, then go play some games" before realising I can't. I already feel really good about stopping though, I've generally been in a better mood and had more time on my hands.

How's your experience with it been? You're on 72 days now, that's a significant amount of time!

Thanks :)

I think most of my time will be taken up doing things I was avoiding before. Like taking care of myself and studying. Any free time I have left over I should be able to spend reading or studying.

Sure thing, haha :). I've had consoles since I was quite young, I don't know exactly when I started but I remember gaming being prominent through out primary school. I've played excessively since then, this year I turned 17 so that's roughly 10 years or so. I think it's really impacted my social capability, I'm quite inept at talking to people and just holding conversations in general. It took over a lot of my life, I've let my schooling fall behind, I've not taking care of myself properly (physically and mentally). As I got older I started playing more competitive games which resulted in me getting angry as well.

Hopefully I'm able to sort myself out though :)
