Addicted to WoW

ADDICTION : The term "addiction" is used in many contexts to describe an obsession, compulsion, or excessive physical or psychological dependence on something.

and thats what everyone said about me and WoW. I never really totally realized it. Today my account was hacked and everything deleted. Now you might say, its just a video game, how tough can it be to get over. Suck up and get on with your life. Yea... To move on from something after 4 and a half years of your life have gone into it for at least 3 hrs a day on an average. The emotions I'm feeling are imitating what you go through after a breakup. MMORPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) isn't only about playing a videogame at the end of the day. Its a way to release all the tension that you build up during the day, all the tension your going through in life. By playing these MMO's, you get to smash faces and stab things which if you did in person would have some serious repercussions. At the end of the day I just want an outlet for all the pent up frustration. Maybe its a sign that its time to move on, maybe after 4 years of this I have to move on some other things. Hopefully a year later I'll look back to this day and say "Yes, all that happens. Happens for good". Although I will get my account back in due time, maybe I will quit this game and move on to a more productive process of getting rid of my frustration.
