    When you launch a game for the first time…

    Exit Game

    “Cool, it works. But I don’t have time to play right now.”

      In my situation it’s usually a “you know what? I actually don’t want to play a game after all.”

      Happens more often when I have a weed tolerance, and the high wears off before I can even go back inside to boot the computer. (Which is why sometimes I’ll load up the game before I go outside to hit the dab rig. That way I’ll at least get 10 minutes of enjoyment out of the game.)

        As someone who’s been there, you really need to start talking to a therapist about substance use disorder. There is much more to life waiting for you after you put in the hard work to unlock it. There is help, you are not alone.
