Addicted to Neopets 

By Keturah

(an email I received in mid 2004)

I wanted to thank you for your website. I was hooked on Neopets for almost 2 years. I am 31, married. It caused a lot of problems.  I don't drink or use drugs, but I was hooked on Neopets.  I spent a lot of money on the magazine, then the TCG cards.  He was upset, since we have been trying to save money to remodel the home.  I forgot about our plans and goals. I just cared about making nps.  To keep me from playing again, I got rid of all my nps, except enough to put my pets up for adoption.  I also got rid of all my items. As of today, I have 2 more pets to get rid of.  Then I'm going to delete the account. I am looking forward to my life without Neopets.

I have had health problems, mainly from sitting in front of the computer.  I have already been eating healthier and taking care of myself. I have even lost weight.  Neopets almost ruined my life.  I'm getting my life back now.  I was thinking of quitting when I found your sight on a google search. I was searching for help/support.  I wanted justification for my decision.  You gave me light. I thank you for that.  Bless you.
