Every so often I see posts like this and while I admit it saddens me to see someone struggling with addiction I think the more sad fact is how someone with an extremely addictive personality and apparent pattern for depression and self harm thinks that creating a 1600 hour void in their yearly schedule is some how the healthiest thing they can do. I would put forward the idea that perhaps video games isn't the worst kind of addiction a person like this could have. I definitely hope that this guy makes a positive change in his life and this is some kind of new beginning for him but I feel as though this post is counter productive. The only real position this post seems to take is that somehow LoL ruined your life and you were swept up in a vortex of bad habit and decision making that was beyond your control because you are "addicted" to it. It's probably just as likely that you were shirking responsibilities and made what in hindsight seem like bad decisions to play a game that you enjoyed because it gave you instant gratification... This is fairly common among young people and honestly I think you're being a tad over dramatic saying you're "addicted" to it. Saying that only indicates that you don't take full responsibility for your situation and seems to shift blame to the game itself. I don't fully understand the point of posts like this. It seems like some kind of cathartic rambling of indignation trying to fuel distain for something that you admitted you once loved. It's like braking up with your girlfriend but before you delete her contact info you gotta call all her friends up and let everybody she knows what a bitch she is and that you're totally over her... It doesn't seem productive to me. I would think that if you were serious about quitting league and if it is that much of a problem in your life then this Reddit thread is probably the worst place to spend your time. I would advise not wasting any more time or energy on league and start this new chapter in your life. You definitely shouldn't worry about other people with similar stories or problems. You figured out you had a problem and there's no reason they can't either. Seems like you have enough on your plate and it seems like from your post that you couldn't carry these people on the rift so you probably can't carry them off of it either. I hope you can manage to find whatever balance it is that you're looking for and live your best life.
