this thread has no positive effect on the community as we all are addicted and are trying to find more ways to be addicted
This community was born out of and revolves around the playing of minecraft. Further addiction can only be beneficial. When you try to bury yourself in an attempt to escape real life problems as if they were the ravenous mob hordes of a blockier world. Sent from the new and improved space phone.
Some things are worth a long read. It could make the difference for some of you between a 'fake' life and a 'real' one. If someone needs it, they'll read it. I hope. <3
The thing with any anxiety-driven compulsion it's usually a form of avoidance. There may be something in the real life that is causing them unconsciously to retreat to the fake one. It kind of comes down to realising that that is what you are doing and working out what you may be avoiding in your real life. Edit: LOL speaking of long reads I read the rest of your post and the last paragraph you quoted already stated what I just said. Is that meta-irony?

Guaranteed Stephen. You are 100% right. And it was the same for me... not that I'm gonna 'bare my soul' about it.. but for me it was that I was getting from the fake life that the real one wasn't providing. I read on onlingamersanonymous that online games meet just about every social and psychological need someone has.. at so many levels.. so that it's hard not to get hooked unless your needs are being met elsewhere. For me, I just really begged the Lord to help me and he fills so many of those needs and gave me the strength to step by step.. take up real life responsibilities, accomplishments, and relationships, and distance myself from the game world but I will say it was the hardest thing I ever did breaking it. Without God I could not have done it.
