without WoW as of today. I went from 7-9 hours a day playing to Zero overnight. Its been a pretty hard struggle, I have the CD disks and a 60 day game card a friend bought for me on Xmas. They are still on my desk and make the struggle a little more difficult. On at least a dozen occasions I've almost re-installed the game, but the farthest I have gotten is disk 4 so far.
Anyways, in the free time I have now I have accomplished a few things.
- Discovered what bars are again
- Discovered what friends are again
- Got a tan
- Actually started eating real food. Not "What can I make in 5 minutes when I wait for this god damn flight path" food, but real cooked food.
- Realized that as hot as night elves are, real girls are hotter.
- Realized that yes, most of those hot night elves are guys, and without WoW I feel straighter.
- Lost the 60 pounds I had gained when playing WoW
- Took up Basketball and boxing again (sports I quit while playing WoW)
- Applied to University
- Learned what music is again (Since I was only listening to WoW music)
- Watched a sunset/sunrise with friends on the same night/morning
- Moved out of my parents basement
- Traveled to see old friends in my old towns
- Started getting invited back out to things when my friends realized I had stopped sitting in front of my computer killing dragons all day.
- Actually had a conversation with my mom and dad.
- Actually had a conversation with my friends that didn't revolve around WoW
- My acne is gone (It was gone before I started playing WoW too, only came back during WoW)
- Started reading books again
- Realized how fun a midnight jog can be.
- Was able to look around at life and realize how much I had let pass me by in the 3 years I had been addicted to WoW/Diablo2 ect.
So there it is. 3 months. Next goal is 6 than 12 and I will feel I am addiction free.Just wanted to share with everyone :beer:
Dude, isn't that the same list Homer Simpsons made the day he ate that poisonous sushi???

Maybe I am just tired or a huge nerd (or both) but this has kept me laughing for a full minute. My gf on the phone is wondering what the hell is going on.
Hell yeah! Good job! Are you buff now? You said you were lean/ripped a while back, in 3 months I want to see an 8 pack and crazy fvcking muscles! I quit WoW in June of 2005, which was probably the best video game decision I've ever made.

I still play, but the game is starting to wear thin. I grinded to Grand Marshal on my priest last summer, got burned out, and have played her casually since. Rerolling and leveling another toon to 70 makes me nauseous.
One class is underpowered, then overpowered, and back again. There's too much tinkering with the classes, and if you're one of the people on the downturn, it sucks.
Raiding in BC just involves farming mass consumables, and unless you find riding in circles fun, you're in for a poor surprise at 70. The 5 mans are designed well, the heroics are challenging but not impossible, but the end of the introductory raid, Karazhan, is when things start to get out of hand. Strangely, raiding rewards aren't much better than 5 man stuff these days.
