Hey guys Reborn here.
it's been 2 months since I played games. :) So far it's been not too difficult avoiding games- I think partly because my life was soo busy. However now that i"m getting back into ordinary life I"m starting to feel weird. It's a feeling I've never felt before. Normally when I want to game I get this sudden strong craving which goes away but over the past few days I've been fantasing about playing again, ofc telling myself that I can control it.... It's this prolonged feeling of intense desire.
I'm gonna take a more active part in the forums now because I can feel myself being weak sometimes.
Hey reborn,
I am glad you are doing well. Keep coming back.
Hugs,
Maggie
It's good to have goals and dreams, but while you're waiting for things to change, waiting for promises to come to pass, don't be discontent with where you are. Learn to enjoy the season that you're in--Pastor Joel Osteen

Welcome back reborn :)

Reborn, congrats on 2 months!!!
Congratulations on 2 months, Reborn, and congrats for being alert to the signs and coming back. Stress is the common trigger for relapse. To a great degree, success is all about learning and *practicing* better tools for managing stress than running from the pressures of life which is what I did when I gamed. Glad you're here.
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 on 2 months!!! keep going
