Well, I have essentially stopped playing sc for about a week, this is honestly the longest i've gone without playing SC in years. Mainly because every other time i stop playing i get an overwhelming urge to begin to play again. But this time its different, I have a full time job and other responsibilities and really have not even thought about SC. I haven't gotten any urges to play SC at all, now this is my question should I quit SC or come back to SC. This is the first time in my life that I feel I can actually quit SC if i wanted to and i feel I'm at a "crossroad" if you will if i don't start playing SC again now I can't see myself ever getting back into it...but do I really want to quit? Leave me any comments with your thoughts on it.

moderation is the key;
if you have an already balanced(ish) life (as it sounds like you do) and you got the time - go for it!
look at mani for example  |

while i agree with your post and it would be nice for me if I could play in moderation, but i realize that if I start playing sc again I will begin to use all my time playing sc, (I kind of have an addictive personality) |

I say give it up. If you've been playing "all the time" for years, you ought to see what else is out there. Sounds like you've given enough time to SC (this is not a value judgment, of course - I played heavily for 5 years.)
If you end up missing it or decide other aspects of life aren't as fulfilling, SC will still be there. |

| You'll probably spend your time doing something else that's unproductive. so you might as well continue playing Starcraft but try to schedule reading books. |

| Keep playing. Don't pull a CaucasianA, nothing against him, just the best example I can think of right now. SC for life. |
| | Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that. |

This is the dumbest thread ever Response. I don't get these people who need to "quit" SC, or say they need to "mass train" at it. Game for fun. If playing at a high level is more fun to you, then do it. If crushing noobs is more fun, do that. If doing something else with your time is more fun, do that instead. I don't see the problem here.
For the last four years, I had always been playing ladders and leagues and been part of a team. Since starting my job, I've given up playing even mildly competitively and am happy to play casual games. I've become more active in TL and watching professional games, however. I've looked to set up more LANs and events. I still love playing the game, watching the game, and above all else discussing the game (meeting up with old friends over Christmas, hearing "So you still playing StarCraft?" sends me rambling about it for minutes at a time).
If you feel like your life will be missing something without high-level play, keep playing StarCraft. If you don't have time to do that but want to stay involved in the community, there are tons of ways you can do that. If neither of those sound objectively appealing, you've lost your love of the game and there's no reason to continue. |

lol
playing casually is much more fun imo. Social life and playing every now and then is cool. Beats mass gaming. PLus, you get a lot less agitated when you lose =p |
