Gradually, I eliminated my social life, closed my door, and become an addict to WoW. I don't want to go out. I have lost all my friends. HELP!!! I am in DEEP in the WoW hole. 5 level 80s, working on more. How can I escape from this desolate, loner Hell? I have nothing else in life besides WoW or drugs.

@idaniboy he actually did say he is addicted to drugs. Whether it's crack or something else I don't know. I know that i only like to play WoW after I've smoked a blunt so....
It's alright, calm down. It's not like you're addicted to crack or alcohol.
Start out by limiting the time you play every day. First try cutting out an hour from your regular play time each day. Baby steps!
WoW can be fun, I'll admit as a former player, but remember it's only a bunch of pixels and a made up storyline. Remember it is something you do for fun. I you aren't enjoying it try restarting the things you used to do for fun like hanging out with friends, TV, exercising, etc...
