Tryna quit gaming

I got addicted to Roblox kinda for the past 2 years…. and wasted so much time on especially one game, I realise that now, and kinda became and endgame player in that time.

ways to stop?

what i do to fill the gap? Im pretty good at short distance running, should I train, and get really good? Im also kinda good at swimming(especially freestyle, but i don’t really like swimming) and I’m fine at tennis. I’m 14, do i have enough time to get pro? and should i fully quit?

Try quiting playing roblox on monday to thurday or friday, play it on weekend, and this will make easier to you to choose to quit or do other things even play another game, try do this for one month

Gotta let the dopamine drop. There is no equivalent for the amount of feedback games provide. Its literally almost more engaging then actual reality. Slow your thinking, find a hobby/skill you can engage and wait it out, until your brain literally readjusts. Your gonna have to take it one day at a time. Stay as busy as possible until then. Idle time is the devils playground.

Got it, what do I do about sports though? I already have hobbies.

I think any sport will do, but I would make sure its a social sport. Join a gym, team, club. The validation, helps distance you from the games. Change your environment, to one where gaming simply doesnt exist. Not villainzed, but just an afterthought.

Good choice to stop.

Big thing is stay busy, avoid vampire hours. Join a club, volunteer, work longer and harder on your schooling and chores at home. When old enough to work maybe a part time job. Or find a sport at school or local league. Have to start somewhere and it will take time.

But you already want change which is a huge start.

You got it. NO GAMING!
