Yes I have similar gaming addictions too. I play World of Warcraft (which has been called Warcrack for its highly addictive nature). I have been playing the game for 3+ years and have logged hundreds of hours playing. I used to be so addicted to it I would play for days straight not leaving my room and would blow off spending time with my friends or calling in sick to work just to play. I never was fired from a job for it, but my friends resented me. Being addicted to gaming or the internet can be just as harmful as drugs or alcohol to your life and personal relationships. I still play wow, but I have changed my priorities. I only play when I have free time; there needs to be a balance in your life and games can be a part of it as long as you put restrictions up. However, if you think you can't stick with a restriction on your playing, it might be best to put it down all together.

I'm also curious as to why you play so much? Do you just enjoy it? Or are there other reasons behind the addiction. For me, I hid from reality and lived through my game for over a year. But trust me, life outside the game is better than life in the game.
