I'm addicted and trying to kick the game. It's been 5 days now
Basically, I started playing when WoW came out. I've had about 7 accounts all with top chars. The reason for so many accounts is the fact that I've tried to give up that many times well .................
My wife came into my front room and said we need to talk and I was like no I'm busy... As you can guess what I was doing - I was in a raid just about to do the second boss in icc. My wife turns around and says again we really need to talk, so I sit there tell me raid brb 5 mins. Wife going on at me ... my wife now has my attention I'm really annoyed - she is saying if I don't give it up, she is going to leave me and take the kids and live with her mum so we started arguing. I said you're leaving me for no reason, you're being stupid, but she was set on what to do and she packed her stuff up... said she is going to stay at the house for 2 days to sort somethings out. She left the room, I turned to the raid and said - guys I'm so sorry I have to go ... my wife has left me at this point. .... ....
It hit home what I have been doing to her for the past 3 years being with her. I've quit so many times and come back to it but now I've lost it all. I am serious on quitting. Me and my wife are still not together... I'm going to see her and my children 2moz. I've given my £400 pound pc away... yes that's right, not sold it, gave it away. My account is on ebay - i'm kicking it for real this time. WoW is a game but its a addictive one its worse than drugs. I think it should be banned from TV advertisment shop windows and such... well anyway I might have a second chance with my family as I've not really been there for them for over a year. I'm surprised my wife lasted that long. If it was the other way around, I'd have been gone half a year ago so here it is ... hopefully I'll be away from WoW forever...

I will pray for you and your situation, I have been in your shoes just never let it get that far. Tell her you will go to addiction counceling if she will give you another chance. I am sorry for your loss.
I hope you are able to reunite with your family... I recommend admitting that you had an addiction problem to your ex, if you haven't already, to rebuild her trust. As for keeping away from WoW, the longer away from WoW you stay, the easier it is to stay away. good luck!
