Goodbye World of WarCraft

I have officially decided to stop playing World of Warcraft. This game can take on a life on its own once you get hooked and I admit I was addicted. I played to be the best priest with the best gear, the most pvp kills, the highest healing bonus and to accomplish as many achievements as possible. Moonbery Jenkins The Explorer will now put her War Mace of Unrequited Love (what a lovely name for a weapon) down.
And how does one quit this glorious addicting game cold turkey? I have to tell myself that I have achieved my personal goal for the game. I have leveled from 1-80 on my main character; and I am at the point where I cannot devote anymore time to participate in raids that require space in my real life to do list agenda. I used World of Warcraft as a distraction before, a distraction from taking my mind off of the stresses of work instead of going to PT's Pub and drinking. I played World of Warcraft so I could stay home with the kids while they were babies and I was able to be beside them on the bed as a played, I would have them fall asleep on my lap with my legs crossed Indian style as I played main healer in Karazhan BC times.
At this point ask me anything about the game I know it. From holding my own guild to being officer to being a nomad I played, and at times I played hours after hours mastering the game and my character talents. When away from the game I look forward to logging on and playing with my virtual friends, my guildies and buddies that I dungeon and quest with, or even to do something as mind numbing as fishing.
I am leaving Moonbery, still mediocre, but efficient enough to heal most end game dungeons and activities.
But as the saying goes: goodbye's aren't forever, I'm still keeping my account. I will be disabling it by not paying the monthly dues for now, because the next expansion when it does come out, might be too tempting for me NOT to be able to take on where I left off on my level 80 belf priest, till then game over.
"For the Horde!"
