Thanks Casey (@OrchidSSG) for your awesome reply.

Eventually fizzled during Cata. My second kid was born and I definitely had no energy to keep playing, even at a casual pace.

BC was my apex. I, too, had severe issues trying to quit. Cold turkey didn't work for me. This part of my life hurt my career the most. I had a fallout with my missus. It was a very dark time in my life.

Replacing WoW is like replacing any other addiction. The 12-step program describes this as the 'void inside you'. And let me tell you, it's freaking real. I'm glad you found a way out via DeviantArt.

To be honest, I struggled a lot until I started to help other fellow developers by blogging and having an overall online presence. So, thank YOU for helping me find a healthy replacement.

Thanks for reading and good luck on your travels :)
