I wanted to post this because for a while now, I am finding myself to be very addicted to this game.

I was not a gamer in the past, and have never experienced gaming addiction before.

Nowadays, I rarely leave me house other than work, after work I instantly login, checking up on my friends and forum, doing matches, even just standing around doing absolutely nothing. I'm always on the game, and the game is always in the back of my head.

Even at work I find myself unfocused, which I wasn't like prior to playing KF, I'm always worrying about my character and the game and aching to get home and just play for hours upon hours into the dead of the night where I barely get a wink of sleep before going back to work, I even try and skip work and make excuses for myself, which I can't afford to do.

Real life relationships have been deteriorating, loads of my friends and family try and come over and spend time with me, and as a previously very sociable and warm person I'd invite them in, get them some food, or a drink and sit and chat and be a very good attendant. These days if anyone comes they are a nuisance to me, I'm just aching for them to go so I can get back on my game.

My relationship has ended because she got sick of me eventually and said I was beyond help, I just ignored her, someone who was so precious to me, and I just didn't treat her the way she deserved and now she's gone and I have no one to blame other than myself.

I rarely answer text messages or phone calls and ditch my friends at work, people are always messaging me with genuine concern and I blow them all off.

I've spend hundreds on hundreds of dollars into the game, and continue to do so, the game has become such a huge priority that I feel like I'm not in control of my life anymore.

I've tried going cold turkey, tried playing less, nothing seems to work. I just have an urge to get on and login. My online friends are taking priority of my real life friendships that have lasted years, and even my family and it's not okay.

I just wanted to post this because I hope someone can relate to me, and share their experiences and I want to let them know they aren't alone.

I hope that I can finally regain control of my life and not let this game control it anymore
