Hi, I stopped gaming in July 2025 after 27 years. Since then, my life has tremendously improved. I am never late on doing things I need to do anymore, I did a 20 weeks long truck driving training in a specialised school and in about 3 weeks I'm gonna start a career in a field I actually enjoy.

I'm feeling better than ever. I always struggled with anxiety and depression. But I'm realising that even though gaming felt like a way to escape, it's also what held me back mentally and professionally.

I wouldn't be surprised if quitting gaming saved my life. I needed to talk about it. I am so proud of myself and I hope this can give motivation to anyone that might need it.
