I was one of those people that had a pretty bad crippling addiction to World of Warcraft. Back in college, It just consumed everything I did. When I realized I had a problem, I decided to quit cold turkey. As someone who hadn't faced addiction before, I wasn't really prepared for how much of my social life and day to day habits I had tied into the game. I had swaths and swaths of free time, but I was still stagnating as a person. I had someone send me some Let's Plays to check out and it gave me some distance from games while sort of weening myself off of them. In time, I started on my own, which became a great creative outlet for me. It helped me put myself out there a lot more and to just embrace my ideas more confidently. It, most importantly, helped me partition time and explore life more. Nearly a decade later, I've lived in several different countries, made friends across the world, and am currently planning my marriage with a wonderful woman. Maybe that's not all on the back of SA, but I'm not sure I would have been able to break my habits without it.
