    Help me quit wow for good.

    I'm asking you guys to help me with quitting wow for good. I've done it all. I've levelled every class. I've been a casual player, a hardcore raider, a mediocre pvper, a gold maker, etc.

    I've had realm firsts, top 5 parses on some fights, bis gear . I've been playing for 8 years now and just don't want to play anymore. Tonight I saw some one post a picture of their 5500 hours on Dota and instantly thought "what a loser"and then I realized I have around 9000 hours on the wow.

    I've tried quitting half a dozen times. In cata I quit for 4 months. I quit for almost the entirety of mop but I came back at the end to sell cm with some Australian friends. I was quit from August 2015 to December basically. A few other breaks here and there.

    It's negatively impacted my life for sure. Countless hours wasted on a digital treadmill that I wish I could get back. No longer go to the gym as much as I used to.

    I know it's as easy as just giving away all of my gold and deleting my toons but it's so hard. The game has been such a major part of my life whether I like it or not and it feels like I'm deleting a part of my self.

    Uninstall the game and/or ask them to permanently lock your account.

    I still play over watch though casually on the other of 1 of 2 hours a week(there's no sort of emotional attachment to over watch that makes me feel addicted to it)

    The problem is that you don't want to quit! When you want to quit you will do it.

    Learn some discipline. That will help you not only with quitting WoW but go a long way in life.

    And no that doesn't mean reroll disc priest.

    Don't click on the WoW icon on your desktop?

    Actually, it's even easier than that. The game can't be played without an active sub.

    It's just a game. It's not even an physical addiction. Don't be ridiculous.

    I'll remember that the next time a smoker comes in to my pharmacy and asks what the best quitting aid is

    This is so sad to hear/read. As someone who got the motivation to put effort and change my real life for the better thanks to this "stupid" game as many people I know call it... I started going to the gym, became more social, made real life friends, got into university, had best grades, won a national competition, got a girlfriend... All because WoW and animes inspired me.

    My dream is to have a life which allows me to spare enough time for WoW, mountain hiking, my family and still be able to earn a satisfying salary. I thought it's impossible but I proved to myself it isn't.

    I doubt WoW is the source of your problem, especially if you love the game. You just need more motivation in real life.

    Clear out everything, delete your characters, give away your account, Uninstall WoW.

    Gambling isn't a physical addiction either, unless you count the desire for pleasure neurotransmitters as a physical addiction. Wow is basically a skinner box at this point.

    See a psychologist there are obviously some deep seeded things at play here. This will allow you to talk to someone and come to the conclusion whether its "wow" or something else.
