I was using Wow to evade the stress from work and life in general. I was doing this at the cost of my family. So week nights instead of doing something with my wife, I would just jump in online and play. I was watching the kid but she's playing by herself and not need me directly, guess I can do a few quests no problem.

So my problem was that gaming was winning over other things all the time on almost every occasion. I was evading responsibilities at home, neglecting my relation with my wife and not giving quality time to my daughter.

So now I'm like 3 months free of gaming and while being hard , I can now see I was using it not for the right reason.
