Hmm, I'm going to try to help the best I can.

You shouldn't have to give up anything to be able to lucid dream. I have kept the exact same schedule, in fact, added to it, since I started lucid dreaming with no side effects. Now, I don't know what kind of schedule you have, but if you can't afford to stop for just 5 seconds to do a reality check during the day then you defenitely need to quit a few things.

WOW shouldn't affect your LDing experience at all. In fact, you could turn the game into a dreamsign and benefit your LDing. A lot of nights I'm on the computer playing games and it has had no negative effects on my dreams.

I can't say I understand how LD's take you out of your social life - they happen when you're asleep, so you're not exactly chatting with your friends anyway. Maybe just focus about it before you go to bed - put LDs out of your mind during the day, if possible. I think you should try to get your subconscious to realize that there's nothing about LDing that can hurt you, or cripple your social life, it's just an event that occurs during sleep. And just practicing on the weekends is a good way to start too, until you get over your fears.

Hope this helps!
