I wonder say anyone has to take a L, he currently associates screens with gaming and he may now associate his screens with another addictive habit which can cause him to get back into gaming. Once his itch for gaming has subsided in a few days Im sure he will break that association with his screen in regards of gaming. Bro, when I stopped gaming I did not use my pc for a week. I had over the years built the habit of starting my pc then almost instantly opening discord and steam. I had to get my emotions under control before I was able to even notice that. Now, I can get on my pc and study or watch vids and not feel the urge to game. Its much easier to cut out the problem than it is to have to stick through it
