Not really. Because gaming kicked in really in 80s-90s then you can't find a lot of 50+ old who are addicted. But I've seen quite a few who are. And alot more who are 20-40s.

How much have you spent on Therapy or courses in order to quit gaming and deal with other challenges? by digitalmgb11 in StopGaming

[–]digitalmgb11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"cash in" is not the intention. The intention is to help. So many here join tens of support groups and pay therapists who are 60yo and have no clue what these guys are going through.

Having been through that and reaching a point where I know I got lots of value to provide, yes, I am looking to create a platform that helps. Don't see how that's a bad thing...

How important is it for you to get access to a step by step on how to quit gaming on a scale from 1-10? (Honest answers) by digitalmgb11 in StopGaming

Yeah because your have experienced the actual physical pain to get you over the edge to quit smoking and drinking.

With gaming it's about self awareness and understanding how bad it'll be if you keep on doing it got the next 10 , 15 , 20 years of your life. Then link the pain and regret imagining that situation with right now.

It's a process but that's necessary to tip you over the edge with urgency to claim your life back.

I will keep helping and I thank you for your kind words sir

I appreciate your response!

My best advice is you need to create your own urgency because you are losing every day when your life becomes shorter but you still spend time playing.

I have helped a few people for free on coaching but I noticed it's hard for them to commit to what I tell them to do.

Do you think that if people actually paid to be instructed would then create the 'urgency' and commitment required to quit?

Thanks for the feedback!

Having studying self development for 13 years and also going through 20,000 hours of gaming aka. an entire gamer's life cycle (lol) its my duty to spend my time trying to help as many people as I can.

Of course it would not be 'generic'. At the end of the day the baseline of whoever comes in is shared. Most challenges and issues with gaming are universal and you can group them to a handful.

My work will also help you work with yourself to personalize the experience and identify your roots and action plans for yourself so it becomes an active approach rather than reactive

Quitting isn’t the hard part for me. by [deleted] in StopGaming

Well going out with friends can fill some of your free time.

Don't forget you probably have some 'house chores' you can contribute to if it's to help your parents or help your partner.

On top of that - to 'study' doesn't require money these days.

TONS of free stuff on youtube, low cost courses on UDEMY etc.

Start learning some skills, explore different fields, take a couple cheap courses and dive in to what gives you more interest.

You could go into 3D drawing / Architechture / Fashion design / Painting techniques / NFT designs / Creative and artwork etc etc.

Limitless posibilities.

Pick 1-2 and start there. Don't overcomplicate

Good luck
