oh but it is, and thats what made my mind flip when I read up on the Gamers version of AA

see, why does a person do drugs. Escape, feel better about themselves, maybe become a new person and do things they could/would never do. Thats online gaming as well. Well, it was my thing for Everquest anyways

kind of hard to explain because you've kept gaming a hobby, I look back at whatever kind of Gollum thing I was turning into and scratch my head and wonder as well

its unexplainable but at the same time, there are people who say "Yeah drugs are just a hobby of mine; something I just do whenever I'm bored or just for leisure." and some of those people are the junkies
