RE: My past
Good job man. It is sad to think about how much games really do kill social lives! I know it kills realtionship too it's just a bad thing altogether. I know people who get together with their friends to just play games, then go home and play more games. I donno how people can live like that for so long it's crazy.

RE: My past
I've never had a problem with being addicted to a game....... in fact i haven't played my Xbox in like a year. I play Guitar hero on my phone for a little bit when i'm bored at work or on the road, other than that i don't play video games.

RE: My past
I played WOW over the summer on my sister's account, i culd never see why people got addicted to it until i played it for awhile, but if you set out to play it, knowing you are only gonna play for a couple months, and your playing just to kill time, its easier to not get addicted. Good job on kicking the habit though, i have had friends cut school to go play WOW.
My nerdy addiction is a trading card game called Magic: The Gathering, i play it whenever im with a certain couple of my friends, I have quit going danceing on fridays, but othr then that i havent dropped anything big for it,im going to a church event rather then a big tournament, that costs the same, i refuse to pay alot of money for decks, but instead i will trade for the cards i need, and whenever iots a toss up between hunting and playing i drop the game in a heartbeat

I did find it very profitable to quit, When your a goal orientated person like me, you get **** done in that game. I worked my way up to the #3 guild in the US. The demand to play in that got too much with school. Only could sleep during school. I think im going to write a book about my addiction with it. TO stop playing I sold my accout for around 700 dollars. Think of this, in the course of 378 days, I had 72 days played time. As for drugs, no thanks
