Addictions

So who here is addicted to something?

I have only one addiction - Chocolate. I've always loved it and I can never get enough of it. When I go without it for a few days, I get definite cravings for it, something I don't really get for anything else. It's bad, but I can control it... I don't splurge, I just fill the craving and I'm usually good afterwards.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I used to be addicted to cocaine but for now I'll just stick with alcohol. But I don't drink on weekdays. Unless you count this last week. Then I'm a common drunk. Cheers!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have only one addiction - Heroin. I've always loved it and I can never get enough of it. When I go without it for a few days, I get definite cravings for it, something I don't really get for anything else. It's bad, but I can control it... I don't splurge, I just fill the craving and I'm usually good afterwards.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I recently bought these fudge wafers that I havent had since I was a kid... now every time I walk by them, i need to eat like, 5. And I've purposely been walking by them at times... now I'm really getting addicted.

One thing I can be really addicted to, as odd as it sounds, is AIM. I dont need to be on ALL the time, but I'm one of those people that checks away messages constantly, changes mine all the time, is on usually once a day... I've gotten better since high school and the beginning of college, but it still can be pretty bad. I've recognized my problem, and thats the first step. I'm starting AIM Anonymous in January.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Hm, never thought about internetz... I guess I'm a definite internet addict as well then. I spend most of my time on it unless I'm socializing, which since I'm home in new hampshire, I'm usually not.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I had a pretty nasty coke habit in high school. Luckily I had the money to pay for it, so it never really alienated me from people. As it stands, I still won't do it more than maybe once a month. Just out of fear of falling back into that trap. I also had a real problem with the bottle by grade 12, but I'm basically just a social drinker. Though I certainly self-medicate from time to time when I'm miserable.

I've certainly been accused of sexual addiction, though I don't call that an addiction, I call that common fucking sense to enjoy getting your dick sucked by a hot chick.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I've but one true addiction: caffiene. I'm the stereotypical guy who's always fidgety and toting a bottle of cola or thermos of coffee. But I've got two reasons for my addiction: Aside from the surge in wakefulness, caffiene also relaxes the smaller airways in the lungs. I can always breathe easier after a couple coffees or cans of Coca-Cola. But I definitely like the mental pick-me-up too. I'm also known to enjoy mass quantities of chocolate at times, as well. I like the taste, but I'm well aware of the caffiene content - the primary objective. (Chocolate-covered coffee beans are like cocaine for me.)

Aside from when I'm ill, I drink at least one or two cans of Coke within the first two hours of my day. If I leave the house, I switch to coffee, as there's three Tim Horton's shops within driving distance, plus we sell okay coffee at my workplace.

By 8PM, I'm usually wired and don't slow down until around 5AM. This is bad when I have to work the next day, though I'm able to curb the habit back when I know I'm getting up early the following day. But the caffiene addiction definitely wreaks havoc on my circadean rhythms. I don't mind it most of the time, as I have some of my best ideas at 2AM when all else is quiet and I can focus.

I doubt I'll ever kick it, nor do I really want to. Caffiene has its uses and it's totally legal. Why not enjoy my one vise?

FELIPE NO

Alcohol.

I know its a problem when a) drinking alone b) drinking on weekdays c)drunk before 7pm

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Chocolate milk and coffee. Those two are what I drink for breakfast every day. Don't know what I'd do without it. And somehow I still manage to stay skinny!

Oh... I think I might know how.




There's nowhere I can't reach.

I have a very addictive personality and I am always bingeing on something. Cigs, pot and morphine are my main vices. I also chew tobacco vigorously and whenever possible. I don't believe any of my addictions are too harmful as I shift from vice to vice rather easily so that I spare the problem areas the means for drastic irritation. It's all about finding a good cycle.
I think there is a level of self control that I have so that I can justify the means for NOT STOPPING.

I have never been able to do that. My stomach can't handle it that early on in my day. No matter how late I wake up, I need atleast 2 hours before I can put a soda in my stomach.

Coffee, sex, beer, shopping online.

I have a ton of vices. One more and I can't support myself any longer.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The internet is probably my only real addiction. I jsut load it up all the fucking time and trawl around to the same bullshit sites and waste away time. When I go a day without the internet, it feels weird.

Otherwise I don't really have the addictive personality. I live with at least one alcoholic, be it housemate Sam, or Mum when I'm at home. I always have easy access to massive amounts of beer, wine, spirits and despite the fact that I drink more then once every two days, I'm not addicted at all. I'll be dry for weeks at a time without even realising.

Not the net though.

Most people don't realise, but chocolate milk is made from skim milk.

My only physical addiction is nicotine. In Sweden, we have a tobacco product, called Snus, which is wet and grinded tobacco in small pouches (tea-bag) which you put under your lip. I think it's called snuff in the states. Have been using this for at least 3-4 years now, and it contains more nicotine than a cigarette so obviously you get addicted.

Mentally, I'd say I'm definitely addicted to the Internet. Spending most of my awake time in front of the web and even skipping other activities because of it is the reason I call it an addiction. And it disturbs me as hell, just sitting here all day.

FELIPE NO

My addictions are my wines and my car, lol. I can't live without em!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Addictions? Anime, Cartoons, Video Games, Caffeine, and Chicken. Seriously, I eat chicken more than anything else I can think of.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Props for the chicken love

I wouldn't say I'm addicted to it, but it's certainly an insatiable craving, especially my dad's homemade cutlets. Yum yum...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The internet, games, and sex. I don't know what I'd do without any of them.

One of those is a dirty lie...

...and I suspect its the gaming~~~

How ya doing, buddy?

Definitely the internet. Actually, watching stupid/amusing/cool videos on the internet. It's not too bad that I lose sleep watching them, but it's the closest thing I have to an addiction.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Driving. Sorry environment

I'm too much of a punk to walk and despise being pressed up against people in public transportation

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Hmm mine would be
Sex - I could say the usual reasons I suppose. Ya know...The rush etc. But I just think I just love sex. I have a huge sex drive,while I could live without it,I dont want to.
Tattoo's - Its the buzz. I love the feeling of the needle across my skin and the rush afterwards is addictive.
Peircings - Something new to fiddle with. And a few of the above reasons.

FELIPE NO

Care to elaborate on that? Or should I just hand out the infraction for spam now?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I think sprout and I were separated at birth. My addictions are the internet and chocolate, and I'm having terrible success kicking either habit.
