It has been three months since I (finally) quit gaming for good. Three months without a relapse. So far things are going okay for me. I've managed to avoid the gaming websites that I haunted for so long. The time I used to waste on games is now spent in the gym, and doing other things.
Of course, there are times when I really miss the gaming world. It was my refuge from real life for many years. As we all know, the real world is much tougher than any game. But I just turned 31, and I can't keep hiding in virtual reality. I have a ton of work to do, but my life is starting to turn around. This website has been a great help for me. I want to thank everyone here for their support!

GRATS!!!!!
Great to hear! Your age (am going to turn 31 next month) and quitting period (just finished 2 months) are so close to mine, I draw special inspiration from this to stay on track.
Such a better high to meet exercise goals than stupid game goals :p And you meet fun people too.
Go, Andrew!
I am a recovering computer game and gambling addict. My recovery birthday: On May 6, 2012 I quit games and began working a program of recovery through OLGA No computer games or slot games for me since December 12, 2012. No solitaire games with real cards since June 2013.
This is really great news, Andrew! Hooray!
Acceptance. When I am disturbed, it is because a person, place, thing, or situation is unacceptable to me. I find no serenity until I accept my life as being exactly the way it is meant to be. Nothing happens in God’s world by mistake. Acknowledge the problem, but live the solution!
Congrats, and keep it up!
