Broke my WoW addiction back in 2005 after getting upset at someone ninja looting the pants for the Might armor set. WoT was only replaced by WoWS. 😉 And diablo 3. And destiny. SimCity… Civ V… It isn’t an addiction if you rotate games, I think.

It does also help to have multiple teams in different sports. The Steelers are my steady hand – I know I won’t really face the pain of a bad team here. I am also a Columbus Blue Jackets fan…which takes care of the masochistic need to root for a perennially awful franchise. And I’m a Cincinnati Reds fan…which has had success in my lifetime, flashes here and there, but plenty of bad seasons too. They are the middle road. I can never get too upset about a Steelers loss whenever I think of the fact that my Reds will be out of contention by mid-May.
