I asking for a little prayer to try to get my life back on track.

Right now I have a pretty bad internet addiction, mostly blamed to my addiction to World of Warcraft. It started out small during college but it slowly consumed my life. It affected my school life (I am now a college drop out trying to go back), my job, my friends (I haven't been in touch with a lot of good friends), my family, and my relationship with God for almost two years now.

It was a game that distracted my life problems of my mom having renal failure and her deteriorating health, my father constantly cheating on her, and my self doubt.

So please say a little prayer for me for guidance and will power to overcome this.

I have actually heard that when people are depressed, they often turn to games like Warcraft which can help cope a little, but can be quite time consuming. Think I got back into gaming after a depressing time, and yeah it does help you forget about it. But, too much is too much sometimes :/ Praying...

Do you have a support group of some sort to help you deal with this? I have found that having others to keep you accountable is quite beneficial.

I will be praying. Let us know how you're doing every once in a while.

“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!â€
