Trust me early 20s I used to smoke weed all day, eat junk, play MMOs and watch anime all day for an entire year. I would even turn up stoned to my callcenter job. I was the ultimate loser, but had the time of my life.
But in terms of your overall goals it's just time wasted. Once you realize this, which it seems u have, it becomes easier since ull automatically start feeling bad when you give in to your urges.

Did you really have the time of your life or you regret it now?

Honestly, when I was in it, it felt amazing. Was living with two friends and we always had a blast and would play MMOs together while all gigabaked.. in terms of regret, yeah I couldve done better and healthier things and set myself up for a better future. But I've regretted so many things I've done in the past or missed in the past that I've just come to say fuck it and focus on what I can do better today.

I try not to worry about the future or dwell on the past since that only makes me depressed and anxious

yeah but that's the thing you were playing with friends I'm just a loser playing alone and wasting my life jfl. I wasted my teenage years on computer like a dopamine addicted dog and now I regret it deeply. I could have looksmaxxed and lifemaxxed but now it's all lost...
