ok for starters I've been reading some posts from some1 that i completely despise and was very annoyed but decided to take the high road and not respond in the typical angry black woman fashion... instead i wanted to start a thread of my own on a completely different subject. (swallowing my complete disgust for this person i will begin)
ok so because of work and other ***i haven't been able to play my beloved FFXI since Dec 30th of last year and now its the 12th and well ok heres what a website describes as the symptoms of crack withdrawal...
Crack withdrawal symptoms include but are not limited to:
agitation
depression
intense craving for the drug
extreme fatigue
anxiety
angry outbursts
lack of motivation
nausea/vomiting
shaking
irritability
muscle pain
disturbed sleep
im feeling all of these btw and yes I'm comparing my not playing to that of a crack withdrawal so... you (the reader) might look at this and think "get a life you *** loser" well i do have a "life" but for the last 5-6 years FFXI has been a very big part of my life so im sure the die-hard player in you can relate to my plight.
the reason for this post is just to vent my frustration and disdain for my situation. and to ask is there anyone out there that has went through a similar withdrawal.. please share <^.^>
P.S. i have recurring nightmares of my taru chasing me with a tattoo of LM17 on his forehead and a very loud Shantoto screaming in a dark background.. does that mean something?
FFXI Is A Helova Drug O.o

After spending forever and a day in abyssea-tahrongi fetching 50 glavoid shells, I had dreams about huge Tremor-like worms and giant flying fleas named Adze. Stinkin' bugs ;;

I'm assuming this is trolling, but addiction comes in all forms, not just chemical dependence.
if you're struggling with emotional withdrawal from your addiction, there are support groups that can help you. speaking to a therapist can definitely help you work through this, and whatever underlying issues led you to this place.
itt: delusional angry people rate my post down lol

Anyone who has been addicted to anything will go through those symptoms, to some degree or another.
To me, it sounds like maybe this break is good for you. If you're at the point where you can't step away from the game for a couple weeks, then you really have a problem. I'm pretty sure social workers and the like are more understanding, and will know how to help people with gaming addictions better than before, as it's very common these days.

You could just have someone steal your account while you're on a hiatus and force you to go cold turkey or put a bullet in your head. I personally didn't have a gun at the time. Yes; that gun part was me trollin'. xD

I find whenever I take a break from the game, it takes longer and longer for me to get back into the groove, the solution! 24/7 around the clock playing.

there have been some really significant breakthroughs in the past 5 years particularly, always a good thing
it's sad to see game addiction in action; there are people on my server (and some making up the population majority of linkshells I've been in) where people quit school/work or ended marriages to play ffxi more, or used ffxi as a crutch for agoraphobia. as resources grow to help people like that, or with less extreme but still harmful addictions, everyone wins :)
