if you have not seeked help to fix your problems with addiction, its foolish to assume that an 8 year break will cure your issue. many "scientists" would conclude that addiction is based on an chemical or social imbalance, and if you have not resolved these issues then coming back may only lead you down the same path.
on the flip side, however, most people who play on this server suffer from a similar problem as that which you have described. i dont want to say that all players here are addicts, but there is definitely a large community here who can empathize with your problem. for some, this community can act as a support group (ive witnessed others in my life being "addicted" to this game).. for others it provides a safe way to slowly wean themselves from the feeling of being addicted.
my advice in this situation would be to just do what feels alright for you, but try to moderate your time spent. try reaching out to people in the game (the majority of the community doesnt use the forums) and you may find that many players have similar issues as yourself.
