It was such a good thing for me to quit, its easy to recommend it to others, but I do need to recognize there are many options instead of just playing too much and not at all. Recognizing that should make the site a better place. Thanks! You have a good point that there is probably a middle ground between quitting and playing the game unhealthily.

Thanks for stopping by! I actually took a 3 month break as a way to restore my sanity and it was the best thing I ever did. :) I am playing again, but at a much more healthy level, in my opinion. Your website seems like a great idea. I may come visit. :) And someday if I decide I want to quit, I'm sure your site will be a great resource/support group. Hi “Stop”. Thanks for stopping by!

I found this site googling the name of my own website. I hope you've managed to stay out of Warcraft. It's inspiring to read all of the things you've been up to with the extra time you have now. I've started a website for people who have quit, and we'd love to have you as a member if you like. Thanks! Hi!

I could never get into online games because I always figured it would be like time wasted offline gaming x 10. I like the new Wordpress look. I'll email soon for a full Emily status update :) Congratulations on breaking free of WoW.

Thanks for stopping by! I think I'd have had LESS of a problem if all I did was raid. Raiding was on a schedule, and I could keep the non-raiding days open for other things. My problem was alt-addiction... and the addiction to "ooh shiny!" when I'd get new things or accomplish some retarded (but rewarding) grind. When you're playing solo, time invested ALWAYS equals more reward, and -that- was my biggest problem. Anyway, I'm happier now. Although it's becoming more and more of a struggle to not fall into old habits with some other game. Emily Hey Dennis! Thanks for stopping by!
