Let me know if your kids need a step-father.

Used to be caffeine, but I curbed that early this year. Then it was cigarettes. And before I knew it I was on three packs a week. So now I only smoke socially. Most recently I've noticed a tendency towards dipsomania in myself. As soon as I go back to school, this will stop. I hope.

Oh, and sugar. Once a week I head into town and stock up on the kinds of sherbert-frosted gummy transfats that I was constantly refused as a kid. WELL. Now I can quietly gloat at tantrum-stricken brats tearing at the ankles of their teenage mothers, bawling their eyes out for diabetes-incurring treats. Aha!

edit: I ctrl-f'd 'anime' in this thread. there is no god

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

Woah, it's like you read my mind. But if you read my mind, would you read it in Espanol or English?

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

Cigarettes. It's the same old story, I tried them for the hell of it and now life is so fucking hard without them. It's actually quite bizzare because I started on Embassy and Marlboro Reds and now I can't smoke anything but menthols without retching. I'm kicking the habit this New Year's; it'll be my 3rd year running =/

The internet of course. I have been too drunk the past few nights to actually be online but here I am first thing in the morning with an incredible hangover because I miss using the internet. As RAB says, going a day without using it feels so odd.

I was speaking idiomatically.

WoW probably, i tried to stop like 5 times this year and i always feel miserable, so i go back and I'm all happy again ^_^

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I am addicted to video games . Can never get enough of 'em.

FELIPE NO

Same here Kimchi. My pink DS got whored out enough.

For the serious, I play a lot rentals and finished several. I have a huge backlog (75+ so far) that I flipflop between new games to old games every now and then. I'm into gaming so much that I love vgm for this reason. If you hear this battle track for like say 500 times wouldn't you grow to love it? I have been playing games since ping pong. I'm probably more committed than addicted.

Portal is a good excellent current example of how awesome gaming can be.

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

I've been addicted to this instant chocolate milk for years. Two scoops in a glass of milk and a bit of movement, and you're set. It leaves a crusty top which is probably the best part.You can't reach it because it's on an angle when you're drinking it, but you can in the last mouthful. I've never bothered with coffee or tea, or beer, or smoking, or any of those addictions. I'm addicted to chocolate milk.

Oh, and gaming, and internet.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sweets and Dr.Pepper. I try to limit myself to them every other day at the very least, but I have to have them!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Kraft Dinner, Gargoyles, and birds.

Oh, and cheese. Those are probably the big ones.

I have this weird ass addiction when it comes to electronics.

I keep buying "newer" or "special" editions. ~_~. (iPod-NDS-PSP-Korean MP3/PMP/MP4)

Yes I know exactly what you mean. I finish the game once I start. The only game I gave down is Megaman X3 on PC (I was grade 3 ) and Nintendogs... (it was meh.)

Chocolate and buying stuff. Actually I don't know if I could quite claim full addicition on either, but I do love buying stuff an unhealthy amount. To the extent that when I have money I have to decide what to spend it on, or I plan what to spend my next lot of money on. And then I go and buy little odds and sods anyways. Certainly if I can find some vague justification for it I'm more than happy to buy things I possibly could do without.

I have immense issues controlling my urges to buy stuff as well. Most of the time it's just little things that I'll see an just buy without a second thought, only to get home and look at the shit I wasted my earnings on and wonder what I was thinking at the time of buying it. Sometimes though, I'll see something for a larger amount of money and do the exact same thing, just buy it, and if I'm wracked with guilt enough and the situation permits, I'll return it, but I usually just end up keeping, and throwing it in the pile of crap that I have amassed.

Pretty much makes saving up for things/managing debts a huge hassle for me.

Haha, oh man this'll be fun.

Current addictions:

• Caffiene
• Alcohol
• Marijuana
• Vicodin
• Cigarettes

Past addictions:

• Coke
• Speed
• Valium
• Alcohol
• Caffiene
• Vicodin
• Euphedrin
• Cigarettes

I'm sure I'm forgetting some past ones as well. I've done plenty of other things but I couldn't honestly say I was addicted to them.

FELIPE NO

I'm just a kid, as my only addiction is caffeine, which is pretty intense. Still, I am beginning to drink a lot of alcohol when I go out, and I go out a lot. While it is nowhere near addiction status, I fear it might be someday in the future.

Are these addictions inherently bad? I notice a lot of us are mentioning things and then semi-apologizing for it. I never really cared about my caffeine addiction, and considering that the regulars around here like to be so nonchalant about their meth addiction or whatever, I figure they, too, don't care too much about their addictions.

GFF MY ONLY ADDICTION...................

BUT NOW I FREE....

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Physical addiction would be cigarettes.
My main other addiction would have to be vinyl though. I have loads of things I cherish, but if anything happened to my Drum & Bass collection I don't know how I'd cope. It's taken so much time and money to find some of the rarer bits in my box, I would kill anyone who tried to take them from me!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I've got a physical addiction to chocolate. I don't mean that in the "I just enjoy chocolate" sense, but I've got an unhealthy relationship towards it. Feeling down - craving chocolate - eating loads - feeling terribly guilty, worse than before - ... It's a vicious cycle, and I've tried to quit many times (currently trying again).

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

I'm addicted to Cap'n Crunch. (the cereal is so yummy)
I'm addicted to internet (myspace, youtube, mtv, etc.)
I'm addicted to water (I realize that I'm drinking more than what the requirements are for fluid intake).


Now I'm getting addicted to reality shows, which I hated before. >_< (it seems that reality shows is what's "in" now and it's on every channel.

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

Coke...as in Coca Cola, i'm not that hardcore. I think it was the caffeine and the sugar that got me, I don't like coffee so it was my way of a caffeine fix. I've drank Coke Zero since it's been out, slowly but surely i'm trying to stop it all together and replace it with water...even though I don't particulary like water ;_;.

Chicken, I'm in on that addiction. I don't particulary like any other meat, and I don't feel as bad eating chicken for some reason >_>.

The Internet, it's my main form of communication with all my friends around the globe. I can live without internet sites but I couldn't live without not talking to my friends.

Music. Listening to it, playing it, being obsessed with play counts (most played songs, artists, general last.fm type stats), talking about it, seeing it live - my favourite addiction <3.

Movies. I could watch a film any time of the day, no matter what it is. I've probably spent most of my money that i've ever earned or received on DVDs.

Most amazing jew boots

Smoking. Been smoking since I was 14. The amount of money and time I spent still amaze me but still doesn't change that fact.

Gaming but it's being curbed.

Started to pick up on a drinking problem...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I was addicted to "flyff", a mmorpg, during almost one year ^^
Now I don't care about it anymore
I was also addicted to chocolate and milk when I was younger x)
I think my current addictions are playing piano and listening to music ^^

FELIPE NO

Probably just food in general...Sometimes it's hard to stop eating when I start, and I fall victim to bad judgment, especially at home. Example there being I'm cooking something and decided what else to eat while the food is being prepared. It's such a bitch to try a diet.

Besides that, just procrastination in general I seem to be very bad with.

How ya doing, buddy?

my addiction is 2 things.. Ecstasy and adrenaline. I do alot of raving so it is to be expected that I would eventually get into doing that stuff but as of now I'm on my way to stopping it and never doing it again..


And Adrenaline is my other.. I love going on the highway and racing at speeds that I know will get my heart racing and my blood rushing.. or hitting up the cliffs in my car and taking it at blinding speeds. I love that feeling of feeling like I'm about to die. I know it's stupid to do that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Blue Powerade.

I buy an 8 pack every week when I get groceries and I drink 1 or more per day. I'm home for break so I can't take a pic of my empty powerade bottle collection (hah) that I have at my apartment though. Collecting them because I'm too lazy to take them out to the recycling bin every week so I just leave them in my room to recycle at the end of the year.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
