1 year!

[Mezzmor]

Today is exactly 1 year to the date since I quit EQ, and I cannot believe I made it.

There have been days where I jones for it really bad, but I have managed to not play at all.

Here's how I fought off the craving:

Went back to school and did a double course load and finished a Bachelor's program and 1/4 of a masters program in 8 months. Now I am really burnt out and only taking 1 class a semester.

Started my own network design and implementation business. I now have 21 clients.

Took a part time job teaching Cisco classes.

Added a full time job as a network admin for a community college (now I can go to school free - paying for a double course load almost broke me)

Remodeled my condo. Put it up for sale Monday. Got a contract on it Wednesday.

So, in reality, I replaced my EQ addiction with an addiction to money. So what's worse? Playing EQ all the time or working all the time?

Here's the sickest thing - when I hit my monetary goal - what do you think I will reward myself with? Playing EQ2 or WoW of course, and that's what drives me to work 20 hours a day.

Sigh. I miss EQ.

sucks!

I have a better idea. Stop visiting EQ related sites, forums, then you won't have cravings!

Addiction to money is good though, except for friends who will think your cheap.

the cravings only grow.

I liken the addiction to fucking chickens. Sure it feels good and the sound is nice, but man does it effect the egg production and if you are on a low carb diet its a bad thing.

Think about that for a while.
