Lockdown is a pain, for myself I am trying to restrict playing to those times when I would normally play if I was still at work. Trying is the operative word, I am failing a lot 
Rather than addicted though, I would say a lot of people are playing more than they normally would due to the boredom of being stuck at home. Well that is the case for me anyway 
For a moment I thought you were talking about me 
Giambalin always be gamblinā
But the fun never stops with you so this advice is not applicable! 
This is what I tried to do when I was unemployed for a while. The rest of the time Iād try to spend looking for and applying for jobs or doing other productive things (I did a lot of art and creative stuff to learn and develop skills, for example).
For many people at the moment it is difficult to manage time and itās almost always easier to play wow because itās easy and comfortable and youāre used it than to do something different, challenging or productive. Seriously, whoād rather clean their kitchen than play wow? Unfortunately playing wow instead of these things can make a situation worse (e.g. you feel worse about the mess you live in, so you hide away from it on Azeroth) so it can be difficult to maintain good mental health. Itās lovely that people have shared in this thread advice for dealing with mental health problems in general, as well as addiction specifically.

No, not the job, how do you buy a new set-up without a proper job? 
Well, my girlfriend is stuck in her native Sweden for now, so what else can I do but play WoW!

IK you were being serious but I could not resist. Plus we could all do with a laugh.

āDad - I just sponsored a homeless person with a sandwich, and I was so busy helping I forgot I was saving up for a new computer 
If you help, just this onceā¦ I know Iāve said it before, but I will pay you back - and Iāll come and eat dinner with you on sunday - so can you please buy it for me?ā 
you know what man, i really dont appreciate the whole āhurr durr karma farming rabble rabbleā thing.
theres a thread for every occasion, but this is not one of them.
i can 100% guarantee you got flagged because youāre being absolutely bitter in this thread, and not from mass flagging because you areā¦ you.
You mean to say that a thread thatās meant to be kind, informative and helpful is not the time and place for snarky and cynical trolling?
Abuse the welfare system of a country I suppose. Laryssa had said before heās been unemployed for years so I guess abusing the welfare system is easier than thought.
My own and formal answer to that question is
Yes
World of Warcraft did exactly that for me too. Replaced some bad habits with a not-too bad habbit.
I wonder if there will be something like alcoholics anonymous for gamers.
(or maybe there already is?)
