I would play the game, quit a bit, play some other games, etc. However when the more social aspects of the game hit, I got more and more drawn into it.<BR/><BR/>I would stay up really late, being a wreck at college and all for what? I always told myself I had a healthy social life with people inside the game (I still went out with 'irl' friends once or twice a week).<BR/><BR/>I am currently at a point where I more live in WoW than in reality. When I'm at my work WoW is constantly in my mind and only when I get back into WoW my mind settles. I have suffered from severe social disorders in the game, including but not limited extreme love/obsession, love sickness, utter jealousy and whatever else you can imagine.<BR/><BR/>WoW has destroyed my life for me. But I do know exactly what I have to do and how to do it to get out of it. But once you're addicted, there's no easy way back. When you're a smoking addict you can't just not light the cigarette. It takes a long process to get through it. But I am sure I will.<BR/><BR/>Well this post kind of derailed a bit, but I hope it's still informational to some. I know a lot of people who just function well in reality and still enjoy a good game of WoW, it can be that way as well. It all depends on your mindset, really. I was a freak to begin with, so it was easy for me to get drawn in.<BR/><BR/>Please everyone always watch out what you get yourself into, be it a game or some other addictive, possible overtaking action.<BR/><BR/>Peace out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125346319211904763.post-36461643402910289232008-11-25T08:55:00.000+01:002008-11-25T08:55:00.000+01:00/clapGood Job Man, way to balance it outI just wor.../clap<BR/><BR/>Good Job Man, way to balance it out<BR/><BR/>I just worked my way through stage 1 and 2 and it was almost as bad as yours, but I'm skipping stage 3 and going to stage 4.
