Its not so bad for me anymore , but i used to be exactly the same way . When i realized i had missed two parties on a weekend just to be by the computer in case a mob spawned in for a guild raid . I realized that i was addicted , after that i wrote a small timer program that i launched EQ with that counted down 2hours then shut my computer down to force me to realize how much time had passed. It helped alot now even tho i love this server i am older and my addiction doesn't seem to affect me the same way. Just try to remember it is only a game and not a substitute for real life. Use post it notes or timer programs or the built in timer to remind yourself of this fact and i think you will be OK 8-)
