Question by Jane D: How to get over my wow addiction?
[rewrite]first of wow=world of warcraft and i was a very big addict to it i mean non stop playing to the point where i would call into work or school to play online if there was a raid or something and at first i would delete the account and do ok for one month or so before i would buy it again and play again till i got to around lvl 40 and then quit again and repeat… well the problem is that i cannot stop playing long before i go out and buy the game again and start all over and whenever i see any kind of advertising for it i get a OVERWHELMING desire to go buy it and play again so i am wondering how can i get over this addiction for it any tips from past junkies would be great thanks

i used to play WoW for about a year and a half and it destroyed a little bit of my life lol. I stopped hanging out with friends during that time and lost some too. I used to play up to 18 hours a day sometimes so i know what the addiction is like. It’s really just a mind over matter thing. I relized that my social life was going down the drain and i was missing out a lot so i decided to sell my account which btw was really good. Fetched over 400 bucks and the first few weeks were extremely hard but i got over it. you can too

i am not a wow junkie but i am a sims junkie. so i can kinda relate. dont worry so much about it. indulge yourself but dont overindulge. can you do this? its called self control, lol. and i know how hard it is to not scratch an itch believe me. But get out there in the real world and experience life! just remind yourself that that game is still going to be there tomorrow, so dont panic. I hope this helps!

find a better more productive addiction
try something physically demanding – something that will tire you out – try something totally off base that you would have not imagined yourself doing before – that also may fulfill some of your tactical reasoning you’re utilizing in WOW – try taking ice hockey lessons or something
