Abusing amphetamines(etc.) and playing World of Warcraft

[John Spartan]

This is what my life has come down to. Every time I try to delete the game from my computer, I keep on reinstalling it. I turn down sex from my girlfriend to play it instead, and why? So I can go up antoher level in this stupid game? It's not like it's even a money making habit like poker. I'm just a [censored] up. I don't blame Blizzard for making the same go so addictive, it's my fault, I just don't know what to do. My friend is selling me his Ritalin so I can stay up for 2 days straight playing it. I take bathroom breaks and occasional other breaks to eat, but not many. I smell like ass from not showering. I'm probably going back into it a second. Mods feel free to lock, delete thread, move to another section(psychology?), whatever.

I've deleted it 3 times now but I've re-installed it a week later every time. And it takes like 2 hours to install the damned game. I'm just a [censored]. I haven't told this to my shrink because I'm too embarrasssed. Like he'll look at me and say a total waste of space.

LOL, you're the second mod I've seen post this. Apparently this account stays out of Sports so MEbenhoe doesn't toss him.

OP,

Simply put you have an addiction and you need to stop playing the game. While this addiction isn't a drug or alcohol problem it still is compulsive behavior. This is a type of addiction where you cannot even attempt to try to play the game in moderation because like an alcoholic or drug abuser you could relapse very easily.

Please talk to your therapist as he might be able to prescribe you something that will lessen the urge to play. You will be surprised how much these addictions are based on neurotransmitters.

Word

" If you don’t understand the gravitational pull of an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game), I’m going to enlighten you with just a dozen words: you get to pick what you look like and what your talents are.

That’s the real beauty of it. The first thing you do in the MMORPG World of Warcraft is design your own body and decide what your strengths will be. You pick your race. What could be more seductive than that, the ability to turn in all of the cards you were dealt at birth and draw new ones from a face-up deck? If you have friends who’ve gotten sucked into the WoW black hole and you don’t understand why they never talk to you any more, this is it. I remember being a chubby teenager with bad skin and astigmatism and pants that didn’t fit quite right. What would I have given to be reborn as a strapping warrior with rippling pecs and armor of hammered silver?

On that kid’s screen now is a dozen noble warriors of exotic races, brandishing elaborate weapons and charging a gigantic demon across a fire-scarred mountaintop. The dwarf next to him is controlled by an accountant planted at his own computer in Cleveland, two babies sleeping in the next room and his pregnant wife on the sofa. The robed priest in the back casting healing spells is actually a 250-lb. ex-gangster, playing from the computer lab of a maximum security prison in Pennsylvania. The elf on his left, sprinting and drawing his mighty magical bow, is the digital body of a wheelchair-bound 12 year-old girl in Miami."
