If you think you can go beyond MMOs for something like a sense of self-accomplishment, I would recommend setting goals for yourself. Any goal that makes you feel more accomplished with yourself works. Reward yourself for doing something good. Draw Backs will be much less frequent as you start to integrate yourself with your real life more, and your addiction less.
This has got to be one of the greatest recommendations I've ever heard, Aeronis. I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks!

Finish school. Giving in to an an addiction is never good :| and if you still feel the need to play afterwards then go ahead. A career will get you somewhere, virtual reality can only do so much x;

Don't play!

Seriously, being addicted to a MMO is incredibly unhealthy for mind, body, and spirit.

All of these, ultimately reinforce my conscious and point me toward the proper direction, thanks guys.
Like many others who have said this before me, I don't regret the time I've wasted playing FFXI. I had a great deal of fun and met some amazing people.
I guess it's just so hard to let go BECAUSE of those memories. It's too bad we can't turn back time to those good old days. Young, in high school, no worries, and FFXI ALL DAY!
