In my experience. W.O.W is an addiction all on its own, with its own withdrawl. Im sorry I don't have any advice for you, Im surprised the topic of the damage MMOs cause in families is not discussed more often here. I played to lvl 30 and realized I had a problem, but I needed help. It is really really really hard to put that game down. I believe that WOW is just as dangerous as drugs because at least in my mind "its not a drug. Im not breaking the law. Im not an alcoholic" oh... this post touched me, Im not denying the other problems, Im just not as experienced in them. His addiction to WOW is the one that scares me though because it is the most easily justified. there are many here who are very wise (wiser than me. lol ) and Al anon is awesome
