To ex video gamers: how did you manage to quit playing video games (as it can be a distraction from yourself)?

Not an ex-gamer but…

Used to play for a few hours daily. Was the main source of entertainment for me for a long time. Now I’m lucky to carve out an hour every couple nights. Schedule is just stacked with adult/life shit.

Combined with the fact that the “usual crew” all has similar situations, you quickly realize that gaming like the old days becomes pretty much impossible without dedicated planning.
