I had a day off yesterday, so I intended to play wow for an hour then be back to working on my stuffs. But when I started playing, I unconciously wasted my entire day on it. And my character is still far from current up to date progression.
Welcome to the hardcore club!
I certainly went through my addiction phase with it back when I first started. That was a long time ago though, when I was a young’n. And could spare a lot of time anyway. Thankfully I got past it, and live a normal balanced life. I work, I exercise. I still play too much WoW, but not compulsively. It’s just my alternative to tv.
Like any pleasure that you can over-indulge in you need to do your best to take control. If you are genuinely feeling addicted to it, maybe look into some treatments or ways to manage your compulsions. I’m sure there’s plenty of free stuff online. If worst comes to worst maybe see a therapist about it. WoW is just a game after all. It shouldn’t take precedence over life.
I work full time and find ways. It’s mostly on the weekend, but i get in a few hours during the week too.
Yea just be careful, the game can pull people in like no other. I always try to pre-plan before i play to know how much time it’ll be, and i wont get locked in.
