I used to be so addicted to wow back in my high school and early adult years that all I did was go to school, play wow, and occasionally lurk 4chan. In fact, right before I quit and sold my account, I had a 5x Gladiator account and I used to be in a top 500 US raiding guild so that should tell you how bad I was. I also had hundreds of dollars invested into gaming hardware including a $120 gaming mouse which has 17 buttons and I had 30 keybindings and I sold wow gold during my high school years for money since I had issues holding a regular job due to my mental health issues.

Now days I do some casual mmo gaming (mostly pvp) and I play some Starcraft 2, Hearthstone, and Steam games mainly. I can stop gaming at any time which is good.

Still though, I regret being so involved in that game. While I have a lot of memories that I cherished, I missed out on a lot of other things in life. I guess that I felt so worthless due to emotional abuse from my family and being bullied at school that I relied on wow to make me feel superior due to my skill and time that I put into that game.
