Question by Jane D: How to get over my wow addiction?
first of wow=world of warcraft and i was a very big addict to it i mean non stop playing to the point where i would call into work or school to play online if there was a raid or something and at first i would delete the account and do ok for one month or so before i would buy it again and play again till i got to around lvl 40 and then quit again and repeat… well the problem is that i cannot stop playing long before i go out and buy the game again and start all over and whenever i see any kind of advertising for it i get a OVERWHELMING desire to go buy it and play again so i am wondering how can i get over this addiction for it any tips from past junkies would be great thanks

Fetched over 400 bucks and the first few weeks were extremely hard but i got over it. you can too
