All Done

I officially quit EVerquest 2 today. Said my good-byes, cancelled my account. It's all done. Saying goodbye was actually quite difficult, moreso than I thought it would be. I almost cried (almost). Laugh all you want, but I've made friends on there. You talk to, interact with, play with the same people everyday, be there in real life or in a game, and you develop a bond, a friendship. I'm going to miss it.
Already, in the 3 weeks or so that I haven't been playing, I've noticed a rather large hole in my life. I'm used to coming home everyday, firing up my computer, playing for an hour or so, eating supper, playing for another couple of hours, talking to jo and going to bed. And sometimes sneaking in a few extra minutes after I talk to Mama Bean before going to sleep. My weekends would be spent sitting in front of my computer. 6 to 10 hours, sometimes more each day.
Now that it is gone, I feel lost. I have other things to do. I've read more in the past 2 weeks than I have in the previous 8 months, but things still don't feel right. I miss it. I long for it. I think I'm going into withdrawl. As sad as that is. I gave it up once before, back in January, but I knew I was going to go back. I knew, as soon as school was done, it was inevitable. I was going to play again. This time I'm not. I can't. It was interfering with my relationship with the woman I love, it was getting in the way of any sort of social life. It was just getting in the way of my RL (real life). I don't regret the time I spent playing it, but it's time to move on. As weird as that is going to be...
