As soon as I wake up in the morning (laid off) I stumble into the livingroom, hit the power button, get some iced coffee outta the fridge, sign into AH. The only time I take a break is to eat, ect. Too absorbed to even wash my nice Mustang or anything, only leave the house to get beer or go to Karaoke a couple times a week. How have some of you broke the AH addiction? I need help! :joystick:

Get lightning to strike your neighbor's house so the EM waves break your poor router. :D (Big tall metal pole).
Go fishing. It's what I always do.
-
Fishing sounds like a nice escape! Gonna break the ol' tackle box out this weekend, see if I cant rope a few Rainbow Trout. (Arrgh! that reminds me of Spixteens!)
-
Go to a nice lake to camp at. Fish for Black Bass by morning, hike around by day, fish for whatever bites at dusk and at night fish for them big mother catfish. :aok :cheers:
Have fun. :banana:
(That's right. THEM big mother catfish)

you just have to look around and realise that there is a life outside this game. i was the same way when i first started. put something like 190 to 250 hours in the game. had no life outside the game. not anymore. i like to spend time with the kids and wife. go 4wheeling, shooting, fishing, hunting, snow machining so on and so on
-
I would love to go to Alaska. Major fishing all around, can't turn a corner without seeing untamed wilderness. It is on my bucket list, believe you, me.
Kentucky has some great wilderness too.

Go out, find yourself a really naughty girl and . . .
;)

Only way for me would be if HT went out of business and I know that will never happen....so I am done for....stick a fork in me :x
-
Steele don't hurt your self fishing. Well I'm getting an escape from the game. I went on a 16 day road trip from Portland Oregon to SanFransico to LosAngelis to DISNEYLAND MICKY MOUSE. Anyway you get the point. Just do something you rally do,where it's almost impossible to get WiFi. Go fishing,go on a walk threw the woods or bicycle. Disney Land maybe if you can get in for free. $72 per person so not recommended.
-
If it's really an addiction for you, then get help to break it.
<snip> Well I'm getting an escape from the game.
Try to take a step back and think about this. This is a game, and should be to escape life. Not the other way around.
Here, for perspective:
"Well I'm getting an escape from the drinking every night." OR "Well I'm getting an escape from the coke." OR "Well I'm getting an escape from the online porn sites."
I believe everybody is free to do what they want with their life unless it affects me, but I'll point out that there could be a problem with what they're doing.

I wasn't working when I first started playing AW. Each morning, as soon as the wife left for work I'd log on, usually find my squaddie ^eagl7 and we'd up a B-17 and go milk run the CZ Spit factory. Usually I flew and he gunned. We didn't run into cons very often but about 30% of the time.
It was a nice relaxing way to start the day and we'd just bs on the way to the target and back. After that I might get a fighter sortie in then log off.
I have fond memories of that.

Jobs are over rated. I pretend my UPS truck is a K4 and the horn fires taters all day. And you think you have a problem. :rofl :rofl :rofl

It starts like that. In a decade or two, you'll find that the obsession-driven desire mellows somewhat. :)

wow steele, surely sounds like you need to find a job! lol. i remember them days about 5 years ago, i would live on AH. its always daytime in the game so if you never leave your desk or look out a window, you do not realize that time is passing you by and at a fast rate. go outside, get some sun, go fishing like some have suggested or mow your lawn! do something man....use AH as a reward for doing the things you should be doing. its not a reward if you play AH all the time. :)

Work first, play later.

I personally don't like to hear about people playing video games and drinking beer all day while I'm busting my bellybutton at work so 65% of the country can sit on some level of assistance.
how long do people think this will work? Methinks unemployment is obviously paying too much if the unemployed are able to afford such luxuries while unemployed. Eventually it will all come crashing down on us. Oh wait, it is.
So my advice would obviously be - APPLY FOR A JAY OH BEE! Go out and meet people looking for jobs, network with people looking for jobs, get used to being rejected for jobs if for any reason to brush up on interview skills, find out what employers are looking for today and try to be that person.
When you have put in 8 hours a day at least doing that...THEN go on AH, Karaoke, buy beer etc.
Leave the assistance for the folks that truly need it. The physically or mentally challenged. Especially for our vets! :salute

At my job we get laid off (almost) every year for a couple months, guess that's why we don't get jack for paid vaca. :furious

I missed the part where he said he stumbled to the front door to look for his assistance check.
Funny how everyone complains about "assistance" until they need some. Then, hey, way to go government!!1!.
I work with a guy just like that. Heard the same thing as from Sincraft, until his single daughter got knocked up and, hey, way to go government!!1!
I was out of work for nine months. I applied for "assistance" merely to become a statistic. I never collected a cent. I didn't need it.
Personally, I like to complain about my hard earned tax dollars going to build football stadiums.

:aok Kind of a no brainer one would think.

I had that kinda day today.....I played AH all day till now.
See I have this thing in my life called a NCO(Non-Commissioned Officer) and he is supposed to check my room on Monday mornings to make sure it isnt dirty and if it is....he can do this thing called "Smoking"...pretty much its me doing different exercises till I have a puddle of sweat around me.....
Sooo time to clean my room then bed time :)

:aok Kind of a no brainer one would think.
Nah, we work heating so always get called back in the fall, I like having the time off every summer. Usually I spend the time outdoors gettin in all kinds of trouble, so maybe it's not such a bad hang-up to have after all? ??????

I have a job, its just that I get laid off every summer, boss pays for our unenjoyment. U must be thinking of "welfare" , that's what us tax payers pay for, and I am against it with you. (except for people that really and truly need it) :salute
-
:aok Kind of a no brainer one would think.
yea.....curse that common sense. :neener:
-
just play for 65 years and u will break it :rofl

Unfortunately, looking for a job is pretty much useless these days. I'd say look, but don't expect to find anything.
Best way to beat an AH addiction - keep playing. Eventually somebody will complain about the way you and others are playing and there'll soon be a rule to stop you from playing that way. Can't have fun in the game for too long without someone complaining.

If your into Karaoke. There already may be no help for you.
But there is therapy that may help.
Take one large bucket of water.
Submerge head in water and while submerged. inhale deeply 12 times.
That should cure ya of just about anything :D

One cliche after another in this post. No amount of "networking" (which is just some BS catchphrase, big around colleges) I stopped applying for real jobs along time ago its useless why bother even applying to a position that could be getting hundreds of applicants? The bottom line is luck and being at the right place at the right time. although the more time you spend looking the more likly you will eventually get lucky.

There is just one cure that we know for sure
you just become a heavy metal believer
stop paying your internet-then go cold turkey
I did and now I'm back

go fishin.....

Networking = knowing someone who will give you a job or knowing someone who knows someone. Nothing more.

even if it's not in his chosen profession, there is something out there.

First collecting unemployment is not the same as being on welfare. Second he didn't say he was taking either one.
My advice, and I don't offer it as good advice, merely as not-yet-mentioned advice: Play an even more addicting online game. Yes it'll be bad at first, but you'll burn out faster and then be back to the real world. Ever try World of Warcraft? Mr. T can hack it, so can you (lol).
-
OK it sounds like we need to go to steeles house, I hear an intervention... LOL
-
Only play at night as a form of self discipline - the daytime is too precious to waste.
And according to everyone under 25 at the moment there's vampires and werewolves all over the place. so night time is a good time to be indoors.
And anyway reality is for people who can't handle Aces High.

I might start a AH addiction help group but I can't find time to fly and organise a help group. :old:

Id like to see a policy where you must serve 2-3 years in the service before your 25......maybe we wont have lazy people in the world anymore...well less of them...
not saying anything about the OP....just my opinion

sure but you might have to move or fight with hundreds of others trying to apply for the same job....i dont know about id rather not take my chances if they were 1 and 100 odds.
networking is bull too its just another catch phrase these people come up with. Its like just by meeting someone and being their acquaintance means much. If you ask someone if they know of a job chances are they already gave it to or told someone they actually care about, instead of someguy they just met who wants to "network" with you. I wouldnt say its who you know, its more like who you know well. Not some group of people who have have as like twitter friends or some crap.
Now adays its more about where you live than anything else if you are near where the jobs are at then good for you.

Now adays its more about where you live than anything else if you are near where the jobs are at then good for you.
all you have to do, is to be willing to work outside of your chosen profession, and probably for less than you're used to working for. this keeps money coming in while you continue your looking for something in your chosen profession.
and networking is not bull. the shop across the street hires every single one of their mechanics, and gas attendants that way. if i cannot get my friend to come to work for/with me at my shop, i will hire the same way.
but then i'm talking networking in real life, not networking with a bunch of screen names..........
-
Are you relatively young, perhaps in college, or just out?
Your view on what "networking" is and what you can gain from it is very naive, and I'd bet that your opinion of it will change once you see how it helps in nearly every aspect of life, from jobs/employment to dating/spouse to services and so forth.

OH! OH! OH! OH!
My son just suggested the best way to cure your addiction. Marry a nagging, narcissitic, self absorbed, hypocritical, needy, and attention !#%# of a wife who doesn't know how to cook, clean, or raise her kids.
That will cure your addiction and right quick. :D
