When you say rgr, after the drive thru lady asks. Do you want ketchup for your fries? Then it's to late for help! :t

Hey look on the brightside. You could be jerking it to some WOW character. :rofl

I've almost said that to my girlfriend a couple times on accident.  Maybe having her on the phone kind of reminds me of my headphones or I'm actually playing the game and get confused who's telling me what to do.  :x

Hello my name is GhostH and I'm trying to taper off.

Long time addict, the good news is I realized I was an addict in time to save my marriage.

It's no telling how many marriages are lost because of games and especially AH.  I'm glad you done the right thing GH  :salute.  It's not caused any problems in my marriage which I'm very thankful for, but I do play way to much.  Shuffler I'm glad some people can control it  :aok

As I've gotten alot better at ACM and have became a decent dueler the 24/7 mindset of AH has went down but it still appears to be a drug addiction.  I got a lot of work to do on the house this spring so maybe I can limit my playing time.

lol Mace u got that right

I've caught myself a few times before I said rgr out in public.  It's quite hard to do, adapt to one language and then another  :D

All in all I've enjoyed myself this year and meet some fantastic people on the game.  I wouldn't change it for the world.

God Bless,

TnDep

Lump me in the category of slipping up, and saying roger to someone in the real world.

Even more embarassing, is on the phone once I actually said "lol."

I had to put some restrictions on myself regarding this game, because it was almost starting to get out of hand at one point.. Its funny how you get more and more addicted as you get better and better at the game.. Its like an evil spiral. :devil

Luckily it has not gone on cost of my marriage, but when my laptop broke down a few months back we noticed some increase in family quality time..   :confused:
So I took good time getting the laptop fixed, about 5months actually.. While I was prioritying my family instead.  :angel:

Now I am back playing the game, but not as many daily hours as earlier. And not as focused on the game either, my wife gets my attention if she talks to me while playing now..  :aok
And the 5months away took most of my flying skill away also, so I've even reduced that evil spiral down to a minimum again. Since I am back as a rookie I die alot all the time, and that makes it easier to take a break from the game from time to time.

But ask me again in two months and my guess is I'm back to having abstinences every time I close my laptop from AH..  :D
Title: Re: Request for Psychologist - Sign up board
Post by: SAJ73 on February 06, 2010, 12:28:24 PM
But I remember how it was at the time I really played AH alot.. When I was out driving my car and saw another car getting close in my rear view mirror I actually wanted to pull the stick and loop ontop of him...  :huh :rolleyes:

Yep, I'm in there with ya.  3 years next month.  I'm working my way to actually being able to quit (I don't play much, but I have "spells.")  Come August/September, I probably won't be able to play much (maybe weekends or some odd off periods).  College will be the death of AH for me. :(

I am lucky, where I worked we used radios to communicate and saying roger at the end of a sentence was a regular thing, nobody thought anything of it.  Plus I am a pilot so again saying roger is no biggie.  The irritating part is when you have to go back and make sure that you didn't put a "/" at the beginning of each sentence while typing and Email.

maybe a psychologist is a good idea.

 When I log into AH after work in the early am I often encounter some sort of time acceleration....one minute it's 5:00am and dark...then suddenly it's 9:00am and the sun is up :huh. To me only a few minutes have passed, but a lot of people got up, took a shower, and ate breakfast before heading of to work at "normal" hours :furious. I then quickly run to my bed for my daily 4 hour nap.

Post by: Estes on February 07, 2010, 11:04:43 AM
As far as skuzzy flying, its entirely plausible that he flies under a shade. But, a few years back I would see him flying around a bit.

Its worth mentioning that he has said several times that he isnt all that good in the game. I think he deals with the game enough while working, so when he gets free time he is likely not wanting to tool around with flying.

Thats just my speculation though.

Addiction?  From AW to WB to AH.  First a little Pot, then some Coke, now I'm mainlining China White. 

I provide police motorcycles to the state of Arizona and had to explain after an email reply what "<S>" means at the end of one of them I sent.

As I was leaving work one day someone asked me what I was doing later....."Gunna kill a few people tonight" was the reply that made them back up a little from me.

Discovered AH right before I got married the first time. Was the hilite of that marriage but couldn't prevent it. Now I'm happily married and AH doesn't interfere with it. My wife goes to bed early so I can fly everynight. I say 'copy' to her all the time, she even asks if I copy.
