Hello everyone
So here is my life till now
This week i gave interviews
I got selected at one place because there is no 1 who goes to work there so i was the only one there and so i got selected
I know i have less tham 20% of knowledge
And the second one i knw very well i wont be selected
I didnt want to give interview
But i had enough of running from my fear
And i went for the interview even though i was feeling humiliated (internally)
Dont knw what to do
But yeah going on a week long trip with family
And i seriously need break
Do once im back
If i dont get selected in the other firm
Ill give myself 3 months time to prepare for exams and write exams in may
I know i still have the guilt of wasting last 2 years and another half year because of my procrastination and this guilt will never ever go
But i cant do anything other than just moving on …
With this wastage of two years i did pearn a very good lesson
Not to procrastinate ever
And the reason to not procrastinate ever is
I donot have sufficient time in the world to watch all good series so why waste time on binge watching
Im not gaining anything from mindlessly playing games instead im losing my mental peace so why waste time there
I have beautiful relationships to spend time with
I have studies to invest time in
And for leisure there is nothing better than reading a novel while sitting in open space or speaking to a friend and many moreeee
So thats all

I relapsed today but ill be back forsure
Its been a long time since i quit gaming
I just played once before few days
And had urges today but i know what is my priority so I overcame the urges to gaming
I also overcame my bibge watching habit
Now i dont feel the fomo of the series or anime
Its fine if i dont watch them
Next step is youtube elimination
And increasing my study period …

Thats all
For next many days my phone wont be mine
Because every one will use my phone
So i have to delete this app
So 21st Jan 2023 im starting my day from day 0
A reminder for me to see where i reach once i return back to this app
Stay strong every one
Buhbyee

I relapsed on day 9 which was day before yesterday
But im still happy because where 2 or 3 days where difficult Now i m on back to back streak of 8 days then 6 and again 8 days
Nothing to boast about
But instead of thinking negatively i prefer to think that i have grown
Btw
Its been 40 days + since i have quit gaming with just one day on which i played for 2 hrs max in total but before i could binge play i came back to senses and stopped right there
Urges to play are still strong but now i know i can survive without them

Next on the list is youtube and pmo lets gooo

Heyaa
So today i wanna talk about my mobile phone addiction which is also gonna include gaming addiction and binge watching addiction
Why i term these as addiction because somewhere i am unable to live without these and i think it is very important for me to have these in the form of entertainment

When it comes to gaming i think that games like clash of clans will help me improve my strategy making capabilities, games like codm will improve my reaction time and so on…
And when i dont play i feel im gonna miss out on these benefits
But then to overcome it i just have 1 thought now
Is playing alone fun or playing family and friends
When i upgrade my character virtualy will the real me get upgraded?
No and so sometimes even if i put games on download even before it is downloaded i cancel it
I know even putting on download is like peeking on porn
But the very next instance i start questioning myself
And i can finally see myself freeing from gaming addiction

  1. Next comes series and anime binge watching which is fine because i can abstain from start ik ng new series or shows and with time i wont have the urge as well as time to bingr watch
    Coming to the main issue of binge watching is youtube

Somewhere the reason i woild relapse in gaming was because even if i was abstaining from games i was watching youtube videos on thise games and i dont knw why but i used to feel the sense of highness and that stimulated me to play games and that game me thoughts of improving reaction time etc
2ndly i started craving for roast videos
Like roast of nibba nibbi roast of other youtubers
I didnt understand what satisfaction i was gaining
Then came shorts
The worst thing
I wouldnt get to knw the amount of time i used to spend on it
Just wasting time
And the reason my brain used to give is
I need it for studies
But i would use only 1% for studies and rest was wastage only …

Lastly i have no productive work related to using phone
But i feel it is important
Im gonna miss out something important
And so i just keep opening my phone
So instead of me just focusing on youtube
I guess i need to focus on phone addiction because
Even if i abstain from youtube or games but still i do check out phone and just scroll through google news which is nothing but masala news
May be my approach was wrong
And if im abstaining from youtube then ill search absurd things on chrome and waste time
And having watched short videos for so long
My attention span has reduced so much that i cant watch a 15 min video which is very inportant without fast forwarding or going through comments
And yeah i remember every video i click the first thing i do is go through the comments :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:
To see what people think about the content and not just videos even for shorts

If not these then just scroll through home page or just scroll crome thats all
So yeah this was all about it
Btw im gamefree for 45 days with 2 hrs of failure in between
Urges to download and play have reduced significantly
But it comes once in a while but i have set clear goal that i donot want to play
Now i wanna see myself grow in no YouTube and nofap too
Lets goo
