How does one break an addiction?
I have, after almost three life-sapping years, quit my alternate life on Everquest 2. My account is cancelled, my client uninstalled, my bridges burned. The two characters who have received my all for the last 18 months now sit in potentia, waiting for the player to return.
It still preys on my mind.
I try to fill my evenings with inane forum browsing, movies, alcohol, anything to drag me back to that place I used to inhabit with all the real people in it. The trouble is, I remember how pointless it all seems, how inadequate I feel in social gatherings and I wonder if this is all there is to life, wasn't my electronic one so much better?
