Slight Goal Adjustment
One of the problems with video games is that you see almost instant success for your efforts , thus reinforcing the behavior to play. As a recovering game addict, 90 days delay of goal achievement was a litle too much. I adjusted my goal to 30 days. Once I complete 30 days, I'll make a new goal for 90 days (thus getting a 33% head start!). After being sober 90 days, I'll set out to go 365 days and have a 25% head-start. This way, I only have to start from "0" once. I think it's important for me to build on my success of video game abstinence.
