WoWdetox is a web site aimed at people with a gaming addiction to World of Warcraft. Because gaming addiction is a new problem it is often misunderstood. Hopefully some of the testimonies on this site will help give more exposure to a very real addiction.

I cannot quit this game. Rationally, I know the work and effort I pour into the game is meaningless and tenuous--everything will be outdated in due time as the game continues to move forward, whether you choose to or not. I have been 2600 rated in arena 2v2 and 3v3 and raided hard core in BC(6 days/wk) and did a decent amount of raiding in LK (4day/wk). I have lost everything in my real life to this game and continue to lose more as I continue to neglect the world around me for the sake of arena rating and character progression. I can't have fun in the game unless I'm the best, and this requires a time commitment not conducive to a healthy lifestyle. I've quit numerous times and once quit this game for nearly 8 months for the sake of my academics but I find myself crawling back every time.
