Simple things like cook something every day, start a chat with someone you havent spoke with in quite some time, cleaning the house, learn a language, practice a new sport or activity, etc. There just an endless leck of options when you start really digging into it. And even tho those things might not satisfy you as much as gaming in the beggining, if you stay disciplined into it for long enough, your body starts to low its craving for dopamine like it had before and/or starts to slowly produce more dopamine on your new activities, specially as you start getting better at them...

thats 100% spot on... as long as you're aware of your emotions, you can identify and move forward... oh i have that craving now because work made me stressed, let me try meditation for 30 minutes and see if i wanna play video games and eat junk food

The problem with playing sometimes is that is the craving that persists. If you are trying to time your video games, you always have a hard time not playing. if it is an option then we always want more and there is never an end to it. It would be best to just get rid of it and forget all about it and convince outselve that it isn't an option anymore

I haven't played video games in about a month what's replaced it is playing chess reading my Bible working out and writing in my journal I have a friend on playstation who has a gaming channel sometimes I want to go back and play with him but I'm older than him and I feel like I should work on my self because I wasted so many years playing video games I feel like in breaking free I just have to stop isolating my self.

So i was quitting a mobile game at the start of 2023, but then i play it again in July, i binged so hard 6 hours non stop. Then i quit again 2 days later with a huge guilt. But then 3 weeks ago, i played some more, binged again, 2 days later quit, and a week later, i reinstalled, and play until today. The problem is once i play, i just won't stop playing. I be like, "just a round, nothing more" and it cost me 4 hours. Someone please give me an advise. Do i really need to quit for 1 year? 2? Or how. Because my friends who play the game everyday, they just don't have what I through.

I love stress free days. I means I can have a great gaming day! It only gets better when it’s the weekend and I can take time off work to play a new game.

Its been at least 3 months since i played last time but the urge isn't getting any better

Stress 100%, after high school I stopped playing games (2-3+ years) to build up businesses, now I have over 40 partnerships 💪🫡 But Daam I felt I need to have a small break well ffs, breaks gone on to long, motivation dropping, I want to work on the business but Daam 😢 so fkin stressful

if you’re a g you don‘t play videogames at all. people say yeah it‘s ok if you play it sometimes. it‘s only ok if you have your life completely under control and it‘s just a side thing

I am already aware of the negative effects of video games. But why can't I hold back the urge to play?

For me the 2nd one is opposite,when im stressed i cant sit and relax and watch a movie or play a game i have to fix my problem first

ever since i stopped playing video games i focused on my mental health and i have to say thank God I was able to forgive myself and others and become a some what happy person outside of my comfort zone

Have major anxiety and allll the associated ones. This video is going in my informative playlist that'll eventually be part of my community of informative alternative societal outcasts. G-Tips

the problem is that you say that playing video games at all is bad, video games can even teach you things for example english is not my first language and i learned english in minecraft, before i started playing minecraft i didnt know almost anything about english, i think that playing video games is good in alot of ways

It's been less than 30 years we have games so intricate to human life, anyone saying its not a big deal to human mental health has no idea of what they are talking about, let alone if he/her is an addict or sell it for a living. I wish I could go back in time to never touch games again.

lol that's a new one: gaming celibate. Sounds like something that only appeal addicted people with compulsive behaviour; I can't see why a healthy person thriving in life that also has a gaming hobby would need to treat videogames like drugs or porn.

If what you said was true about playing 16 hours a day I'm glad people like you aren't playing video games anymore because those people tend to be very toxic and clearly have priorities out of whack and I don't mean just because of the working/making money aspect of things. While I'm glad you're not gaming anymore that's more or less something I see positively affecting me and others who game, whereas I don't think it speaks to your character or people like you specifically all the time either.

@@GameQuitters Ah yes cause games are just like alcohol! Fair enough, I am bias as I get my income from games and it's an industry I'm passionate about so it is quite strange to see a channel like this. Also because I had a job helping problem gamblers in the past, it's weird seeing games of all things being talked about on seemingly the same level as a gambling problem. I just hope it's all people that are struggling/have struggled that use your channel... Not people that don't have a problem themselves and are then taking the ideas from here and trying to enforce quitting on other people...

it's scary to think that you worked with problem gamblers in the past and still have such a deep ignorance to behavioral addiction.

@@GameQuitters It's scary to think that a person running a whole brand based on helping behavioral addiction claims they do it because they 'care about helping people' when their actions imply that it's just a heartless business opportunity.

In healthy amounts sure but whether you like it or not. No gamer plays games in healthy amounts. Most gamers play 4+ hours when healthy gaming is supposed to only be 1-2 hours.

Lmao. Gaming is my passion. Why do I need to move on or limit video games? This is crazy nonsense. 🤣🤣🤣
