IRL help needed. Runescape has taken over my life.

Be stronger than rs look at it like a fight and you have to win I'm super compedative so that worked for me

 

Hangout with friends, try watch a movie with them every weekend. Or find a girlfriend. That might help!

 

I was you once. Than one day I said "This game in consuming my life, and I hate it". I quit. Never played again

 

Happened to me like 2 months ago.

Remove Java and sell all your accounts legitimately, you will find out you will simply stop playing it

 

Play runescape so much that you'll hate it and get bored of it.

Haven't been to runescape.com for a whole year.

 

Find something that you really enjoy irl, eg i really enjoy sports. So instead of playing rs i organise to go and play sports with friends. Hopefully you will start to do it everyday and forget about rs, and you can never go wrong with to much sport

 

I used to have the same problem, then I quit basically because off women haha

 

man at one point in my life, i was in the same boat. but worse... i was an avid botter aswell, but would play 10+ hours a day, stay up all night and play before school or even work!!! then it got to the point where in class i would day dream, then write the shit down!! what will i do today!! fdfdf wrote it down... but i just found other interests that i could get into. i ended up relapsing and coming back .. i dropped all my shit.. so what did i do? i bought more shit with cash...

so dont go doing that. just set a base level in life for what you wanna do, find another hobby like people are saying, and keep playing the game, just avoid sitting there all day, invest in a motorcycle, or fish or what ever you like to do. money means nothing when it comes to health. good luck, msn in sig anytime you need to talk

 

You need to find things outside of the computer that you like doing. As mentioned above: working out is a great way to get rid of this addiction. At first you might not like lifting weights or running your ass off, but it's an accustomed taste. You may just love it from the get go or you may just get so used to it that you'll feel disgusted if you don't go. It seems like you have an addictive personality so your best bet would be picking up something healthy that you can be doing with your time. Fill up your downtime and be productive with your addiction(s).

In short, find something else to do. Work out or find a hobby.

 

Truthfully, I got over being "addicted" to Runescape by simply playing Pokemon Gold. I was on a rampage, dropped out of school, had 178 missed classes over skipping class to go home and play Runescape. No shit. I failed every class I had, and ended my would-be senior year with 6 credits, realized I would be a senior for at least 3 years before graduating, so I opted out and continued playing Runescape. I weened myself off though, because my "addiction" is for video games, period. I turned on Pokemon one day, and instantly was addicted to that. Then after that it was Skyrim. Then after that was Gears of War 3.

In all honesty, it isn't worth the time and effort. I put thousands of hours into that damn game. Hell, I play it even today. There is nothing wrong with playing a game, just don't get yourself carried away. Remember, Runescape is just an extra. It's just a thing to do in your spare time. It isn't your priority. Do all of your homework, text/call all of your friends and see what everyone is doing, do chores, eat, hang with family, do whatever you would normally do, and once there is absolutely nothing to do and there is absolutely no one to talk to, then open up an hour or so of your time for Runescape.

Nobody can just tell you you are not addicted anymore. You have to stand up and say "I'm not addicted" to not be addicted. Remember, addiction is all in your head. Just think of it as a video game, and not an addiction, and you will slowly find more and more things to do with your time. I smoke weed in place of Runescape.

 

Enable JAG and set some random questions and answers you never guess so you wont be able to get into your account for awhile or just give it away

 

Find a family member or a friend that you can trust to change your password. Anytime you want to play, they'll have to log in for you.

 

Whoah, flashback to high school for me. I got felonies as a juvenile stealin credit cards an shit for RS. I've passed out from playing hours on end. I've turned albino-pale white because I stayed inside for so long on that game. I've played since 2002, idgaf about the game now (got kids and on probation, I'm 23 and on my own for the first time ever - out of state from my fam might I add).
I would find somethin else to do. Replace an addiction with a positive habit.
I replaced my RS addiction with drugs and bitches, but I wouldn't recommend that. Find some homies that don't like RS, or trade all yer shit to a n00b account and get yourself banned? That way when you log in you have ca$h but no lvls to do anything with it.

Give the password to your mother/father/guardian (NEVER A FRIEND) and have them change it so you don't know what it is, but they won't steal your shit.

Hope this helps.

 

Putting things off works for me..

Say "I'll do this and I can go on Runescape for one hour"
-do, for example, homework-

Say "Oh, I'll do this too and then I can go on Runescape for the rest of the night."
-go, for example, a walk with the dog-

Say, "Oh, I've put it off this far, another hour wont hurt."
-do, for example, some chores-

This usually helps me, it helped with smoking, gaming and gambling.

 

Just stop. Addiction is your minds way of justifying a stupid habit. Like smoking, there's nothing forcing you to put a cigarette in your mouth except your mind. Grow some balls, get some willpower, whatever you have to do to just not play anymore. Simple.
