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.
