Hi, I'm Willravel. I went to a way-too-expensive school to study psychology. I graduated with a near 4.0. My mother is a prominent doctor of psychology.
I'm not saying you're not addicted. I'm saying that the thread title is comparing apples to what may or may not be oranges. I can't say whether you're addicted or not, but what I can tell you is that if you're addicted to a video game it's very, very different than a biochemical dependence on a substance like heroin. I happen to have known a few people who had troubles with addictive substances. Until you've stolen your mother's wedding ring to pay for your online account and you no longer live indoors, it's not quite the same thing.
