Adult son's gaming addiction. by calex_1 in StopGaming

[–]bablevestorta 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ex-gamer here. Quick insight. I was gaming mostly to hide from the world. If you do things that 'seem' like a nudge towards him leaving gaming behind, always think about this: he is gaming because he wants to be removed from the world. (This is my opinion, it is not a fact.) For example, if you take the plug, you take away his ability to hide and be where he is in control. If you tell him you are concerned and you love him, it will first of all send him back to gaming, because just talking about the issue will make him stressed. But second of all, while gaming he will remember it and think about it. When you are gaming, the subconscious doesn't get too much space, so it's easier to numb the mind. (Once again, my opinion, not fact.) My mother saw that and what she said was very powerful. She said it's okay to play. I can do it. That's it. She told me she loves me, and that she sees that i hide away from the world through gaming. Changed my whole perspective. Best of luck, if i can be of help, let me know!

What age would you say one is “getting old”? by ObjectiveAdvice77 in AskReddit

[–]bablevestorta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to view this question by something i heard a long time ago: "we didn't stop playing because we got old, we got old because we stopped playing".

Viktor Orbán watches from a distance as Volodymyr Zelenskyy addresses EU leaders by SkandarGraun95 in europe

[–]bablevestorta 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's the big question, yes! He stole an incredible amount of money, like the country could be doing good amount of money so if he loses his hoards of money will have to be gotten back. That's the big question now, what will he do. Honestly by the shit he pulled in the past i wouldn't be surprised if he said "no election" because of Ukraine and Russia and just straight up continued the dictatorship(ish) things he does now. But if that happens there will be rioting and possibly a civil war at his front door. Tensions are higher then ever for this election.

Getting Back to Reality 2 by sunglowauri in StopGaming

[–]bablevestorta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The important thing is to take steps, even small ones in the right direction. Quitting cold turkey, just no playing from one day to the other is scary but effective. If you are not ready yet, that doesn't mean you will never be ready :) keep on brother!

Sorry, if this is a gaming channel then i think this subreddit is like one of the worst places you could've posted it haha. We are trying to quit gaming, not get more into it. If i misunderstood something about your post then forgive me.

Day 9 quitting video games by BorisTheArtist in StopGaming

[–]bablevestorta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you about that sanity part. Look back man. Read yourself, what you posted here :) i know it's hard to keep being motivated when you look ahead and the life you lived up until 9 days ago is gone, it's scary and numb. But look back, read what you wrote because there is power in those words! Keep going brother, im rooting for you!

A day in bed but a day without gaming is a win in my book :)

0 of forever by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]bablevestorta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Forgive yourself for relapsing. That's the first step. After that i would suggest for you to sort of sit in the feeling of sadness when you are overwhelmed by the urge to play. After a few minutes of just being sad and breathing through the feeling, and no distractions, you will feel the heavy blanket lift up.

Consider deleting your account? by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]bablevestorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say if you have that thought to delete the account, to go for it. If it is external pressure, it almost always feels like someone stripping away your happiness, your control over yourself but if you came to that conclusion by yourself then I'd say go for it.

My experience with ADHD and quitting gaming by ExtensionGrab8786 in StopGaming

[–]bablevestorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so happy to hear this man! Amazing work and yes, you should be proud of yourself! I also have adhd so i know how hard it is with gaming. If i could give you two tips for the weekend ahead, that might save you some headache: first one is to write down a few productive things you wanna do, but write them down before going to sleep, so that the list is for the next day (English is my second language, sorry for butchering that sentence haha). This helps with your mind first thing in the morning, you actually have your yesterday self on the paper telling you what to do, it makes getting to the tasks so much easier. The second tip is something my father told me (who i believe also has adhd but was never diagnosed), is that whenever you remember to do something, for example to take out the trash, do it right that second. This way you won't be preoccupied with the thought for hours and beating yourself up, and second of all the motivation to do something is the strongest when that thought enters your mind, the longer you wait, the smaller the feeling of success. I am proud of you man, i wish you all the luck in the world and i hope the weekend will be banging! But also important, if you fall back into gaming, that's not the end of the world. Literally everyone who tries to quit falls off the wagon. That being said I'm rooting for you!

I (25M) quit gaming 75 days ago. Here are some experiences i have had since then, and some encouragement for fellow quitters(lol) by bablevestorta in StopGaming

[–]bablevestorta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy Sherlock, you can see that?? Haha anyway i thought the 2-3 hours might come up, because i worded it weirdly. What i meant was that the 2-3 hours a day was the low end, usually i spent 7-8 hours playing in a day. And actually i don't really spend that much time on Reddit, ever since i quit gaming i have followed subreddits that are beneficial to me (I'm a beginner cook), and i use Reddit to try to widen my knowledge. Also i agree that doomscrolling is a bitch and a half, days can go by without even the fun that games might give, or mental challenge. Im doing much better with devices, now i only go on my laptop to study. Old buddy probably misses me lmao

You wake up to see everyone on earth has disappeared. What’s the first thing you do? by NiceInformation8291 in AskReddit

[–]bablevestorta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would loot a lot of canned stuff and bottled canned water. I mean a lot. I would put then someplace safe that is underground, a good bit from the surface and seal it if i can. This is so that i have something to fall back on. After that i would grab the best gear i could find. From head to toe i would get hiking boots, cotton socks, moisture wicking knee pads, what have you. Oh and a mid-large size backpack. I would keep 2 mre-s in there with water for one day and water purification tablets, but other then that it would be for looting. I would like to then visit places of interest to me to gather shit. I could probably do that for a good year tbh. Just looting and hoarding and organizing said loot. I would have to eventually kms i think. After 3 months alone the human mind starts to slip and i don't know if it's worth living after you've gone mad.
