also, my health is not the issue here, if i starve playing this game i don't really care. what's the issue is my stories and videos that have been collecting dust.

besides it's not like i have a life that the game is interupting other then what i mentioned, i just need to manage it better. the game is the only life i have that mean anything to me at the moment.

and my guild is not constantly raiding, we go on raids two days a week, they are more laid back then others. i probably should have mentioned that.

With addiciton, there is no 'balance'. You can't have it both ways. Fortunately, this is one of the few black and white things in life: you either quit WoW and be a hell of a lot better mentally and physically because of it, or you don't, and allow yourself to be immersed to the point of no return. It will get to a point when you are unable to even consider quitting, so do it before it is too late. Please choose the former.

i've got one obsession licked, xemnas who was once a crazy obsession now simply lives in my head.

however i started playing world of warcraft that highly addictive game, and i can't seem to break away from it.
my current issue is this.

wrath of the lich king comes out in two months it's an expansion to the game, that will make everything in the game obsolete. till then i am scrambling trying to get armor that is decent, weapons from my blacksmithing skill that will take days to actually make each one, i use axes by the way.
a mount training that is 5000g [gold] not to mention the actual mount that is 200g for this i must quest and sell stuff, but all my greens go to my enchanter now so i got next to nothing to sell, and all my ore to my blacksmithing, so i have to quest and play the auction house for gold, bad thing is i'm a compulsive spender.
i've also got to lvl my alts and their skills, not to mention get a dragon mount.

and i have to do everything including run raids with my guild and help a friend, how i don't mind helping it's just the window of time is closing for me. i can't posibly do everything before wotlk comes out, but i'm tring my damnest to.

ok that's the problem, the issue is i'm losing sleep getting sick, and droping my already low wieght in order to do the impossible. and i know i won't make it, i'm also afraid the the eventual crash when all my stuff i working so hard to get will become worthless.

please i need anything at this point, i'm just not even going to budge on quiting the game. i need the game to keep a balance and i can't do scheduling it makes me uptight.

another issue is my video making has stopped, and it's all because of the game.


All I can say is try to find another obsession
