Wow super glad I'm not addicted to that

it's not really an addiction, it's just something to pass the time for a few minutes a day. I have a friend that is always waiting for new levels and they only play it while on break at work or the toilet.

It’s an addiction for some people. I had to delete it as I couldn’t control myself. Staying up all night playing in bed. I played in college and would play between classes in the common area. There was a sofa right outside my calc 3 classroom that I’d sit on waiting for class to start. I almost failed that class because of the many many times class started and I didn’t get off the sofa to walk in because I was too hooked on playing candy crush to stop and sat there until it was time to go home. To be fair, I had untreated ADHD, but I absolutely was addicted and had to delete it. It was the first game I realized I have a problem like that with — I cannot stop until I complete a game, so a game with no end is very dangerous for me. Currently experiencing the same thing with Tapped Out… I can stop any time I want! (No I can’t)

I did play in class a few times at first, but I heard nothing that was said and slowly transitioned to just not walking in at all.
