Is There a Support Group for Families Who Have a Member Addicted to World of Warcraft?

Question by Susanne W: Is there a support group for families who have a member addicted to World of Warcraft?
My daughter (20) has an addiction to the online game called, “World of Warcraft”. She rarely leaves her room, has no friends, no motivation to go to school or work, and is depressed. I realize that the game is not the core problem, but I am unable to think of a solution to get her to live any kind of life. Is there a support group anyone can recommend that I contact. I need to talk to others and see what they have done to help with this problem.

i dont believe there are official groups for that…although there should be…i know people who are addicted to that game as well, however not to the degree of your daughter…
but what you can do (i’m assuming she’s staying in your house) is force her to stop playing it…delete the game from the computer and take the discs and make her get out and go do something…
