Women, since puberty.
I see your obvious point, and raise you a more obvious one:

Oxygen, this last 15 years. I just can't last without it...

As "Iampringles" mentioned before, I played Runescape for a really long time.... it was probably a shorter period than I remember, but I'm almost positive it went on for something like 4 or 5 months. I developed a similar obsession with FFR - that was pretty much all I played for 6 months. I haven't touched either of these games in over a year.

Probably Morrowind. Played it like 12 hours a day for months on end. Oblivion... not so much.

Magic: the Gathering stole my middle school years. Played from about Urza Block to Odyssey.

A girl I would never be able to get with stole most of my high school years. Infuriatingly, we still talk ever so often.

What was left was stolen by another girl (with the same first name) with whom I knew things would never work out anyways.

And university has been stolen by gaming and web forums.

Reading. My father taught me how to write my name when I was 2,9 years old and I figured out the rest myself.

It's the new year, time to pick up new things and let old things go.

Do you have an unhealthy habit, obsession and infatuation? What was it and how long was it?

Is it time to let it go?
I can't let it go im in love with it. Yes my unhealthy obsession/addiction is my fiance. Though i have set at least 10 Newyears resolutions to stop myself from annoying him im finding im strugglnig within the first day. I just find i want to be closer to him but he's always busy or out or with friends. I sit for hours (and im doing it at the moment) waiting for him to come online but usually its in vain. Yesterday besides at 1am to wish him Happy New Year i didn't speak to him all day. Eventually at midnight last night he called to say goodnight.
Im easily upset and agrivated when he isn't there. I don't know why but if i've spoken to him or seen him i feel better. If i havn't then my mood drops. Now im trying to untie that "bond" so that i can survive without him and so that he can live his own life without me in his shadow. Its going to take a lot. As i pointed out to him, he is like a drug to me (Yes its from Twilight, the one good quote that actually means something), for me a "fix" of seeing him or chatting to him keeps me "high" all day. Without i end up craving and wanting. Now you can see why its unhealthy. Im like a junkie coming off the drugs. My resolutions are a "rehab" and my games are my distractions. It will still take a while for me to come off him completly but if he sticks by and waits patiently im sure it will soon end. I'll always love him but it will be in the correct way. Not this "school girl crush" mode.

(sorry for being extremely sickly, im sure you weren't expecting to hear this on this thread but i've realised when i saw this thread that it is exactly what im doing).
If the dude is that much of a jackass he doesn't talk to his finacee, then leave him, move away from him, move in with family, stay with them to your comfortable to go on your own

Started in 2001 and still strong here in 2010 is my love of the Halo franchise.
Also beginning in March the second to now is the Escapist.
Also from towards the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2010 I have been frequently going to the movies and renting DVD's.
These are my addicitions and I pride myself on them.

I would have said WoW, but by now probably it is creating characters, worlds, little stories etc. Also, my obsession with girls has been kicking around a good 15 years atleast.

I don't actually live with him which is a quarter of the problem. We can't afford to. I can't blame him entirely. I've heard what his dad is like and i hate him sometimes. He and my mother are slave drivers. All they want is for us not to have a life. If it isn't his dad its the rest of his family causing problems, or his friends needing a hand (which ok, he doesnt see some of them that often). These hols have been hard, he's had to spend time with family and so i've been unable to see him at all besides the one day i got him to come down to mine and even then, his dad called him in a bad mood and so he left 2hrs early to go ease the situation...I could have strangled his dad that night. Since then ive waited for him to come online. It doesn't help much we have an assignment due after the hols which i don't fully understand and last i checked he hadnt even started. He promised to help but obviously hasn't been able to. I've got as much as i can do alone, and i know i shouldn't rely on him so much but he is the only one who i can contact for the work since the teacher won't get the email i sent until its too late. One day things will sort themselves out, in other words when we ever get the money to run. Right now, i just have to grin and bare it, avoid pissing him off so that he doesn't purposly answer and sit tight and hope he has the common sense to txt or call (which thankgod he did last night at midnight having not spoken to him all day...it was a relief to hear his voice once more).

Longest obsession? Probably Paleontology. I have wanted to be a Paleontologist since I was very little, but I probably won't be one becuase the pay isn't very good.
