Addiction comes in many different forms. There is alcohol, drugs, sex, mmorpg, and so many more addictions. I could list thousands of addictions. Is it human to have some kind of addiction? Is there such a thing as good addictions? What causes someone to become addicted?
I personally have many addictions. I have a blogging, internet, twitter, gaming, alcohol, trichotrillia, spending, and I am sure more. Did I see each one coming? Is it an addiction, or is it passion? I see a little of both in each.
Today is a good example of my blogging, internet, twitter, and gaming addiction. They all sort of feed off of each other. I spend many hours on my computer, and when I am sitting in bed that night I realize how I basically have wasted a whole day. Is it really wasted? What else would I have done with all that time?
My boss called me into the office today to inform me of my promotion. It actually caught me a little off guard. Our store is basically closing down for six months for a remodel in May so I figured I was just riding out the last couple months before being sent to another store for six months. My boss instead tells me I am going to be in charge of the department because that person took the job at another location.
This is a great opportunity, but instead of being excited I was actually pissed off inside. My plans of taking a vacation to play Rift for ten days is probably not going to happen since in two weeks I will be in charge. My gaming addiction is so strong that I would rather play Rift for ten days. It is sad because this is my opportunity to excel before the closure, and guarantee me this position when the store finishes the remodel.
So now I have to figure out what is more important in my life. Is it gaming, or moving up again at my job? I know what the answer should be, but there is always that gaming addiction that takes over my life. I still love gaming at my age, and see me playing until the day I die in real life at my keyboard.
