How long have u been addicted to maladaptive daydreaming for?

I've been addicted for 17 yrs since around 18-20. I can't quite pinpoint it.

I found out it had a name in 2015 and that's when I tried to recover. It's been 11 yrs and I still haven't. I'm progressing better these days. I also have discovered the book Extreme Imagination which is helping a lot.
