    When i was a teenager I played for legitimately 15 hours at least per day. I wasted my life for two years on that game. It was absolutely all I cared about. I missed being there for my grandfather’s death. I decided to play instead of sitting with my dog that had a herniated disc in his back (had to be put down the next day) and plenty of other life events. I feel like a piece of shit looking back on it, but it was a real addiction.

    Then one day my stupid little character was standing in Orgrimmar and I realized I had nothing left to do, and it was all just a waste of time. I don’t play games anymore. To some people they are fun time wasters, but to people like me they are a disease.

      I just wanted to show some appreciation for sharing your experience. Speaking candidly about difficult subjects really can help people.
