Gaming the System

Gabe Deem

If you watch internet porn, it might be time to start rethinking. Regardless of whether you watch it once a week or 3 times a day, it can have long-lasting damaging effects. Effects that today's guest, Gabe Deem, knows all too well. He started watching internet porn at the ripe old age of 12, and from that, it spiralled into an uncontrollable addiction. It got so bad that he ended up developing erectile dysfunction at the age of 23. Since then, he's undertaken an incredible transformation to become the man he is today. His organization, Reboot Nation, offers advice to thousands of people on a regular basis. Not only that, but Gabe also speaks internationally in school, colleges, to professionals and even in Capitol Hill. It was a huge privilege to have him on the show, and it was one of my favourite episodes to record. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!  As always, thanks for tuning in. If you liked the episode I'd really appreciate you taking the time to give us a rating. It helps out far more than you realise! Until next time.  Music by Nordgroove from Fugue.

Podcast #14 | The 90 Day Detox Survival Kit

So many people struggle to find new things to do after they quit playing video games that it even has its own name - The Void. You're so used to getting a certain level of stimulation from gaming, anything else you do just feels boring in comparison. In this episode, I go over a few of my favourite hobbies that I think you should try if you want to quit gaming. They focus on the major needs that video games fulfil, and they all have a low barrier to entry. You might think they're common choices or you just don't want to do them, and that's fine, but if you are still stuck in the void and are still saying you don't want to do them, then the problem isn't the hobby... It's you. Activities featured in this episode: - coding - learn an instrument - exercise/active hobbies - photography - language Also, merry Christmas!  If you haven't already I'd love for you to leave us a rating. It'll help us get the podcast in front of more people, and we can provide as much value as possible! Until next time.

024 - The Best Activities to Replace Gaming After You Quit

You might think the biggest problem with Twitch is that you're spending too much time on the website, but you'd be wrong. In reality, the Twitch community with their crabs-in-a-bucket attitude is holding you back in more ways than you think. When you spend your free time listening to people talk about how poorly their life is going and being proud of that fact, it's going to wear down your mindset to the point where eventually you're going to join in. If you're trying to quit gaming and you're still watching Twitch, you might want to reconsider your relationship with the platform. Listen to the full episode to find out more, and learn how to avoid Twitch forever.  Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe if you haven't already!

You might think the biggest problem with Twitch is that you're spending too much time on the website, but you'd be wrong. In reality, the Twitch community with their crabs-in-a-bucket attitude is holding you back in more ways than you think. When you spend your free time listening to people talk about how poorly their life is going and being proud of that fact, it's going to wear down your mindset to the point where eventually you're going to join in. If you're trying to quit gaming and you're still watching Twitch, you might want to reconsider your relationship with the platform. Listen to the full episode to find out more, and learn how to avoid Twitch forever. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe if you haven't already!

028 - Why Twitch Is Destroying Your Mindset and Keeping You from Success

In this episode of the Game Quitters Podcast we answer the top questions from an exclusive Q&amp;A thread for the StopGaming Reddit community. Questions answered include whether low self-worth is related to gaming addiction, the impact of psychological associations to our bedroom play after we quit, how to push through the void in our identity left by quitting games, whether gaming has an affect on our social interactions, whether we should minimize our time with gadgets and technology in general, and if constantly checking our mobile devices has an impact on our mental capacities. Jason also gives us an update on his 90 day detox. If you enjoy the episode, please like, subscribe, and share it on social media.

Podcast #3 | Stop Gaming Reddit Q&A

When you quit gaming it often means leaving a lot of your old friends behind. Whether it's because you can't cope with them talking about video games all the time, inviting you to play, or because you're trying to shed your old identity as a gamer, it's never an easy process to go through. So what can you do? Ultimately it comes down to one thing. You have to become someone that can attract new friends. If you're living a boring life with no hobbies and spend your free time on YouTube, it's not going to go well. Regardless of whether or not you're playing video games anymore. If, however, you decide to get yourself out of your comfort zone and learn new skills, meet new people, and live an interesting life you'll soon find yourself at the centre of an awesome friendship group. It's not easy, though. It can take a long time and a lot of effort to build new relationships. But I can assure you it's 100% worth it.

As someone that has struggled with both depression and gaming addiction, I've definitely had thought about whether or not they're connected.

As I mentioned in the episode we're running a FREE webinar on the 31st October at 7 PM PST.

011 - Are Parents to Blame for Gaming Addiction? w/ Nadja Streiter

Instant gratification is probably the number 1 drug of the modern generation. You really can't escape it. With smartphones always within arms reach, and an unlimited number of worlds ready to be explored at home or on the move, it's no wonder a human's attention span is now less than a Goldfish. The problem with instant gratification, or a lack of delayed gratification, is that once you become accustomed to it you'll stop finding enjoyment in other activities. This is why it's so hard for gamers to move on and pick up new hobbies. They expect to get rewarded straight away, instead of doing the normal thing and building up progress over time. Learn what instant gratification is all about in this episode of Gaming the System. Brought to you by Game Quitters.  As always thanks for listening. If you enjoyed it I'd love it if you could leave us a review as it really helps us out! Until next time.  Music by Nordgroove from Fugue.

Podcast #9 | Parenting in the Digital Age featuring Dr. Richard Freed, author of Wired Child

Take a few moments to think about the people who see you gaming every day. Your parents, carers, friends. Whoever it might be. Now imagine you've swapped places. What would you say to this person? Would it be an encouragement? Reflection? A simple "okay no problem"? So, why aren't you saying it to yourself?  In this episode of Gaming the System, James explores what life is like for the people outside of your virtual bubble. Oftentimes it's easy to think we're the only ones affected by a gaming addiction, but in reality, that isn't the case. Your loved ones see you every day, and they're powerless to help you overcome your problem. No matter how much it hurts them...  If you haven't already I'd love for you to leave us a rating. It'll help us get the podcast in front of more people, and we can provide as much value as possible! Until next time.  Music by Nordgroove from Fugue.

However, just a few days ago something happened that altered my perspective completely.
