Game Mode Addiction

for several months last year I became despondent about my rift play and started playing aram. I became hopelessly addicted. It was like crack to me. I played many hundreds of games, possibly close to a thousand. I noticed it did help me understand the mechanics of some champs. I just one day decided that I needed to get back to the rift again before I was lost forever on the icy bridge.

Has anyone gotten hopelessly addicted to another game mode and couldn't/can't pull themselves back to the rift?

Is there a reason why you left the rift and stayed in the other mode?
