| I've been Wow free for 6 months now and I still miss it but thanks to wowdetox and all the fellow gamers, I refrain from subscribing again. I left after realizing that every time I logged on I was furious after 15 minutes due to the gold spammers, little melodramas and the rude/immature players. Over Christmas, I checked out the Wowarmory just to peek who of my friends were still playing and I got depressed when I saw that some of my old best buddies and guildies were still playing regularly, scrambling for gear and wasting their time. Seeing those people in the same old patterns, doing the same old thing just made me feel sorry for them but I felt proud of myself for moving on. Everytime I want to play I tell myself "Nothing lasts forever!" Walking away and moving on is a part of life and I learned how to do it a little bit better when I left Wow. I just returned to college after 5 years and I'm getting great grades so far. I realized that if I put all of the time that I put into Wow into studying I could finally get through college and maybe get a job where I don't have to flip burgers, dig holes or clean bathrooms for the rest of my life. Best of luck to anyone wanting to change their lives! Just remember that it takes patience, discipline and determination. |
