Enough is enough

My name is Tom, and I'm an Everquest addict. I have been clean for three hours.

I finally did the right thing for my life and my family, and deleted all of my characters and uninstalled P99. Enough is enough! I've been living with this addiction for a long time, and I have neglected too much and missed out on too much.

It will be a hard road ahead, but I've made up my mind to go down it. There's nothing wrong with entertainment, but my compulsive and addictive use of Everquest as a means to avoid or ignore difficulties in my life needs to stop now. Blessings to all of you in your journeys.

GL dude, family > EQ

If an eq "addiction" will fuck up your life, i suggest you stay away from addicting drugs like heroin, or even weed. Jus sayin.

I've done the same thing. Many times. Except i've learned to keep my gear.

Everything and everything can be addicting - it's just a matter of how it affects you.

Heres another good one, even though its not EQ. Cant post the article here because it is way way way NSFW with the pictures but mofukin video game addictions make people do crazy ish. Better off quitting if its a problem for sure. I know people with some bad drug addictions and I dont think they would even go this far with their problems.

"This is one of the most messed up gore stories ever. 12 year old Gabriel Kuhn was friends with 16 year old Daniel Petry. Both were fans of MMORPG computer game called Tibia. Gabriel Kuhn wanted to progress in his game but he was short on game money so he asked his buddy Daniel Petry if he could borrow 20,000 Tibia money from his account. Daniel transferred requested funds to Gabriel’s account but wanted it back later on. This is where it gets pretty messed up.

Gabriel Kuhn failed to transfer the Tibia funds back to Daniel Petry’s account and that got Daniel upset so much, he stormed Gabriel’s house and killed his friend by strangling him to death. He wanted to hide the body in the attic, but being 1,8 meters above ground, this wasn’t an easy task. Determined to conceal the murder, Daniel took a knife and a hacksaw and sawed Gabriel’s legs off to make him weigh less. But then… Gabe’s mom returned back home to find her 12 year old son dead and with legs cut off."

Kinda. Weed rarely becomes truly addicting, but it can. Just like any other drug/habit.

However you wont OD and kill yourself on weed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
