Hey everyone, I'm starting my journey in quitting gaming after some major changes in my life and realizing that everything is crumbling around me. I'm a 30 year old male, and I have been playing video games since I was a little kid. My main vice is World of Warcraft and I started playing that in highschool. Over the years, I would say that I was addicted to it, but it was something that I could more easily manage. However, within the past couple years, I have dove fully into WoW to the point of me disregarding important things irl. I stay up way later to play because I work from home full time. but when I say I "work from home" it means I am really just sneaking naps throughout the work day because I was up all night playing. I have neglected my irl friendships and have turned down hangouts because I had scheduled raids that I "needed" to attend. Most importantly, and the thing that really kicked me into gear with quitting, was my Wife moving out. I have severely neglected my marriage over the years by playing WoW. I have often chose to play instead of spending time with her. There were trips that we have gone on where I took my entire Desktop computer because I didn't want to miss raid. I ended up raiding/playing in the hotel room on trips. Anyways, I'm here now. Hoping I can make significant changes in my life in order to show my Wife that I can be better for us. Thanks for the support. -TooMuchGaming
