I feel I'm addicted to Destiny

So I was unable to play destiny yesterday since the internet at my hotel wasn't working. While I couldn't play, I felt sad and upset that I couldn't do my bounties or the daily. I felt like I missed out. After I got back home today and played destiny for a few hours, I felt really happy and satisfied. Something bugs the shit out of me though, that I missed out on one day. The one day I haven't logged in to play since launch. Its really frustrating. The world hasn't ended, nor has my life. I just feel like this game has taken the top position as my favorite pastime. Its usually some sort of video game anyway(or book, movie, TV, board game, music), its just interesting that a game designed to be so monotonous can leave me wanting to come back again and again. I think they found out a way to inject crack into my eyeballs, just from looking at my TV screen. Thoughts are welcome and thanks for reading my first post. I appologize if this ends up in the wrong category. Edit: You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the comments so far :) Edit 2: Holy shit guys we're trending the top 10. Way to go addicts lol Edit 3: When I created this post, it was mainly for my own need to address my connection to this game. I felt I needed a way to see how far down the rabbit hole I had gone, so to speak. I welcome all comments regarding others personal attachments (or detachments) from all types, not just gaming. We are all capable of indulging too much in something we enjoy. The key is to not let it consume you and find help if you feel it might. That's the hardest part for me. Identifying and admitting when I start to indulge too much. The comments posted here since this began have allowed me to see that WE are not alone. WE are united. I want to thank everyone for their support, their information, their stories and personal experiences. Its you guys that I'm addicted to. You guys make this game fun. Now get the F out of here before I roll you all up and smoke you.

      To me, Destiny is like a cigarette. I hate it and want to stop, but I keep playing.

        You know you're addicted when you start dreaming about Destiny! I dreamed about the mini Phogoth trying to get me last night! MAN!

          • If I didn't stay up late and play after the wife goes to bed and instead played all evening.... She would've probably found a way to destroy the Xbox by now.

            • The whole game's reward system is designed like a slot machine. Not hard to see why people get so addicted.

                • Same here. I could save a family from a burning house (including the dog) and I still would feel like a looser if I don't get my Destiny bounties and daily done.

                  Same here, the cooperative function and the awesome gameplay keep me coming back back. Nothing else compares right now. Best game to have fun with friends with, period.

                  • Fortunately I realized that even though I'll miss iron banner and a few weeks of xur, I'm sure that there will be another iron banner and xur likely won't sell anything I don't already have.

                          I think you are correct. I've been playing since launch, bought the DLC also. I always think to myself, why do I continue to do this? My daughter, who is 13 asked me last night, didn't you do the same thing yesterday? I did..I stopped and thought about it. I've done VOG so many times, without an armor drop...I still keep playing. We all know the bounties will be the same, the enemies in the same place, the same Strikes. Perhaps it's the thrill of MAYBE getting an awesome drop, that won't matter in a months time? Getting that one piece of armor or weapon, we don't have? It seems to me like many others have said before...it's a gambling addiction (which I don't have except for this game) Swell, now I have crackeyes

                          • I feel the same way everyday, If I miss the daily bounties I feel like I've been left behind by all the players who did complete em. Bungie, can I haz my soul back?
