For those addicted

A lot of us joke that we are Alt-A-holics but there seems to be enough people addicted to WoW that there is an actual support group online called WoW Detox.

I've seen the You Tube Videos and I have even heard that people have actually died because they couldn't stop playing WoW long enough to meet their bodies requirements to stay alive. That I can't even imagine.

There is even an online World of Warcraft Addiction Test. Apparently it was so popular, they created a second for Burning Crusade.

I feel bad for those whose lives are impacted negatively because of WoW. I can definately see how it's possible. But I am fortunate to have a boyfriend who plays WoW more than me and friends online, most of them also play WoW. If only I had family that played WoW... well it would almost kind of be my RL huh? Giving gifts would be easier... gold toward an epic mount... the possibilities are endless. I also have chronic pain so when there's nothing else I can do.... it's something to take my mind of it for a while.

That's my meaningless thought for today......
