Confessions of a game addict

     I was hooked the moment I started the game.I was a game addict and warcraft was always my favourite.I could play on hours at an end.Of course,my mother never turned a blind eye to this.On the contrary, she often nagged at me, telling me not to get addicted.And of course,like all game addicts,I simply said,"I'm not addicted."
     I never paid much attention to my mother's incessant nagging at me to stop playing.Until that day i was called into the office of my teacher.In my assignment,I had put the name "Zeus,God of Thunder" and the whole paper was a mess of doodlings of warcraft heroes.It was then that I was convinced that i was seriously addicted.I then created my quiting plan.
    I got my mother to put a password on the computer so i could not use it without her knowing.Still,i could not forget the game.It was the nicotine in a cigarrette and i was drawn to it like a siren song.It took alot of straining to make sure that i did not play.To distract me from playing,I also got out for movies or to exercise with my friends.I even went to malaysia with my friends for a three day mass eat-out.We turned the entire city upside down and no restaurant or hawker could escape me.When I went back,I no longer have the urge to play anymore.Instead, i got hooked on eating.
     But at least it's not a unhealthy habit.Now my mission's accomplished,french fries anyone?

  1. I think I like the exercise option the best! Have you heard of the word compulsive?
