Hue, assuming we can take you seriously (that dog bit is stretching it) if you really need help, ask your parents. Tell them you need help. At this point you cannot do it alone and there are ways to guide you to better things. School is tough. (Biochem and Biology for me) Burnout is always a risk, but maybee you just needed a break. Your parents can help you get involved in a program that can give you tools to help you help yourself. Your sub conscious now dictates reality and you need tools and tricks to be able to break away from your addiction without pissing yourself off. Allow yourself to enjoy other things. A little at first, then work up form there. You are young and your life isn't over. There are many oppertinities for you. Get a job that you enjoy. Make some time with old friends.

Best of luck

Hi its me again. I took Cody's advice and it went pretty well. My parents looked up and found a group for me to participate in (yea there are actually wow addict help groups who woulda thought!). I think I am making progress. I still play wow every day but I have cut 1-2 hours off my daily wow playing and I try to just simply watch tv or ready instead (this is an exercise the group gave me). I havent even come close to meeting a girl yet but I have plans with an old friend from college to see a movie (Blades of glory). I dont think I will ever quit wow, but I hope to make it a hobby instead of my life and thats where I am headed. cutting down from 14 hours a day to 12 hours a day is an accomplishment regardless of how small. Thanks for your support I will continue to post.

Dam it, my computer crashed, lost all my writing. Here we go again.

I came to the main page of Tribe looking to post my ads to obtain a job as a Board Operator in Talk Radio, and Videographer as well as getting side work with my co-worker in painting. I had to comment on this. What got me to quit is the fact that these flatulent, ignorant, narcissistic, smug, snotty, arrogant, closed minded fools I had to deal with on a daily basis. I am a very talent person, and "undiscovered talent" at many things, I am a "Diamond in the Rough." With this said, I have a 70 full frost mage, the following is what I faced while playing WoW, which lead me to ultimately quit:

1. After turning level 60, I could not get the help I needed to do the big raids/instances. You might be saying, join a Hardcore Raid Guild. Actually, common sense, I did join 2 Casual Raid Guilds, few regular guilds, same type of ignorant, selffish types who conveniently can say no to someone. No help from hardly anyone at any time. As I stated in a post to my realms forum, Zul'jin and Suggestions. WoW needs to get computer players to help the people out.

2. I did not have real life friends at my beckon call to get help with the game. Otherwise it would have made it a lot less of a struggle.

More importantly, if I was lucky to have a girlfriend that loves and accepts me. I would be doing so much better than I am doing now. This is how it is in my world, you people should be so lucky! You don't know what you have, untill you don't have it! I am single, and lonely and miserable. I feel so unloved. I am living life alone. I deserve much better than this. I am a intellectual, analytical, open minded, compassionate, selfless, witty, unique person. A lot of women would be so lucky to have me in their life. My inner self and persona are true gems.

Hue and everyone else I feel your pain, I'd like to talk to you via telephone about your struggles, WoW, life in general. Please contact me. I also would like the information as to were this WoW addicts group is, I need to go myself.
