Hardest Addiction You Had to Overcome

[Gardenia]

Coca Cola. It's too sweet and sticky and expensive (compared to water) but fuck me, it's so delicious and refreshing. I drank the last glass 2 hours ago, and the stores don't open for another hour.

Spoiler: Related, kinda:

I overcame my addiction to caffeine in that I don't go through withdrawal symptoms anymore. I really went nuts with diet Mt Dew a few summers ago

Cutting.

The closest I've come to an addiction was when I used to read all the time except for when I needed to eat, sleep, shower, or use the bathroom. I read so much that it would interrupt my schoolwork, my relationships with my friends, and my relationship with my family. I liked to escape and books were good for that.

WoW. Some days I'd spend 14 hours playing. Finally stopped when the comp I'm on wouldn't run it any longer than a half hour. Really glad I was able to quit.

Nyan Cat. I think I find it way more awesome than I should. All of my friends agree.

Masturbating.

Im srsly not kidding here..

I know what you mean, it happens. For me it got to the point that I was just doing it because I was bored.

that was about 6 months ago for me. when i realized it though, i slowed down considerably.

I kind of got over my gaming addiction due to me beating them faster than what $60 was worth. That and I got tired of using them as a escape from real life.

I still cant shake my addiction to porn, more so the collecting part of it rather than watching it. Even though I do that alot too.

I tried it man, that is the hardest shit to drop. I spent one whole week trying to quit before I said fuck it!

I'm trying to get there. It's tough to shake, no pun intended. Not being in a relationship anymore hasn't really helped speed up the process. Working on it though, and things are getting better.

It's strange. I get completely obsessed with something at first then slowly lose interest over time. Some things take longer then others but in the end I'm always trying to make myself get addicted again instead if trying to break an addiction.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

hopefully, i've given up my addiction of throwing myself at jerk men. the guy i'm seeing now is a sweet enough type, so i hope he doesn't mutate into a dragon-beast like all the others did.

But dragons are sexy!

Yep though, masturbating for me as well. Unlike a lot of things in this thread, you can do it almost any time as long as no ones looking and that, IMO, is what makes it such a bugger to kick.

not all dragons. the ones that rip out your heart and cook it in front of you are not as sexy as the myths would have you believe.

While I haven't overcome it, I'm addicted to the caffeine in Pepsi. It's odd. I dislike other drinks with caffeine in them, it's just Pepsi that I can't go without.

Same. I don't like it; I don't like the feeling of drinking it, but I still do. But I'm down to half a can/day.

 

[J3llo]

I had to come over coke, the worst kind also, Diet coke.

 

[robot slipper]

Smoking. I smoked from my mid teens til my early twenties, and then quit on the day I found out I was pregnant. It wasn't the quitting that was hard (having a tiny person growing inside is good incentive to stop!), it was the staying away from it after it was safe for me to smoke again. Even to this day, seven years later, whenever I am out at the pub with my mates it is sooooooo tempting especially when I see a friend make a roll-up. Thats how much of a hold that little nicotine bastard can have on you!

 

[ResonanceSD]

Gaming. Still fighting it =D >_>' no but seriously, it's worrying.

I used to have a problem with drinking too much pop. It's not a big issue anymore, as I'm down to usually no more than equivalent of 2 cans a day. And I always make sure to balance it out with an equal amount of water.

Masturbating.

I wish I had your strength of will.

 

[JochemDude]

Tweaking, seriously if there is anything that can be improved on, I'll be able to spend countless of hours doing it. If I can customize something I'll do that till it's perfect, at that moment...

 

[hensethe1]

Definitely amphetamine. Still smoke though. A lot :/

 

[KefkaCultist]

I've never smoked and I don't really drink, so World of Warcraft was probably my biggest addiction for about 5 years. I plugged waaay to much time into that game and my bad habit of procrastination kicked in and my high school grades plummeted because of it. My friends on the game ended up quitting so leaving the game was a lot easier being that I had no one to talk to.

EDIT: I wasn't planning on posting this, but others have said some more personal things so I may as well.
I had a fetish (which I'm not gonna say what it is on here because I don't really want my dirty laundry known to people) that I wasn't able to fully experience until recently. This summer I experimented a lot with it and it really wasn't that great, so... yeah... probably not gonna really do it any more... That is all. >_>

EDIT2: Also I'm addicted to this site, but I don't wanna overcome that. xD
