I have an addiction, and it’s about time I came clean about it. I’ve posted previously about how I’m married to a gamer, well, it’s time to admit it - I am also… a gamer. I am addicted to World of Warcraft. It’s a massively multiplayer online role playing game, or MMORPG for short. J made the huge stupid completely retarded mistake of encouraging me to have a go of his new game when he got it back in Feb 05. I was pregnant with Zack and as J was working til 10pm every night at that point it would give me something to do while he was away he said. I’d like it he said. So I tried it. One night after my soaps had finished at aroun 7pm, I tried it out. Four hours later when he finally came home from work I was still playing.

Almost 3 years later I am still playing. I am addicted to the point that I have a little side-blog about my adventures in the World of Warcraft. Not only do I like to play it, I like to read about it, research how to do things better on it, chat about it, but let’s be honest… writing about WoW doesn’t exactly fit into this blog anywhere does it? So there’s a cute lil RSS feed of it down the right sidebar now. If I don’t post here of a day (god forbid I miss a day of Blog365!) I’ll have posted over there.

I’ve had to severely cut down on my WoW addiction since about august/september last year when my pregnant belly just made it impossible to sit infrom of a PC for any amount of time, and then the little terror was born, so no WoW time then (although I still read about it a lot, mainly reading about other people playing it in their blogs)… and then I had the great idea of starting a blog in November (thanks TJ and BRK) so now I have TWO addictions to feed and less time than ever to dedicate to either of them!

Now I’m stuck with not just a gaming addiction, but a blogging addiction too - how the hell did that happen??

Have you got anything you’re addicted to, how did it start and have you taken any steps towards overcoming it?
