Hardest Addiction You Had to Overcome

[brucethebeardie]

I am addicted to keeping exotic animals.
Even though this is not harmful at all it eats up money very fast.

And i will never stop!!

Masturbating.

Im srsly not kidding here..

We're not alone.

Masturbaters UNITE!! Just...don't make eye contact.

Also, I would have to say World of Warcrack.

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.

Coffee. I've actually given up on trying to give it up, because if I don't have caffeine daily I get migraines. Physical dependence and all that...

Been there. Luckily it's not that strong (relatively), gets a lot better if you can keep it up for about 10 days. After that you basically just have to keep yourself from falling back in the future.

Hard to point anything out...
As a child, and well into my pre-pubecent years, I used to pee my pants because I would not be bothered to go to the bathroom for 3 mins to interrupt my game.

There, I said it. That's really embarrassing...

 

[Secret Weapon]

Dextroamphetamine.

Been off it for two months now and it's STILL a drain on my energy and mood by not having it. Thank God I'm getting it back on the 10th.

Spoiler: These little buggers

I managed to beat a much more "serious" addiction but these were by far the hardest to get over

 

[neoontime]

i have a addictive personality. thats the way i am.
i am AFRAID to expose myself to anything that people say is addictive.
i played World of Warcraft, and BOY didn't that go splendid for me!...

I have to be on the same boat with this one. It's one of the reasons that keep me from doing some thing, and it causes me to sometimes bump off my friends when they try to pressure me into something.

 

[DarkRyter]

One time one of my friends was having trouble quitting smoking, so I took it up for a couple months just to quit cold turkey and rub it in his face.(I am not a particularly good friend)

But, yeah, Soda.

Can't get enough of the fizzy pop goodaliscious.

 

[Akimbo_Slice]

I was addicted to Methadone up until about a year ago, but I'm cleanish. Now I only take it when I party, not everyday to function like i used too... I think that is an improvement.

 

[OctoH]

Demerol. I was wounded in action, and the field nurse messed up the dosage. Coming down off that was quite rough.

 

[strangemoose]

World of Warcraft, not sure if it was an addiction or an escape into fantasy and away from a difficult time in my life. Either way I couldn't go without it for over a year.

im on the same level as you man. it was an addiction for me i played 8 hours a day everyday and if i didnt play at all for a day i got irritated for no reason i played religiously for 2 and 1/4 years than finally i took a look in the mirror and saw a fat socially awkward nerd with no real life friends, and i just decided no fuck it i will not live like this i just quit cold turkey i started working out and eating right start talking to people and everything worked out pretty well currently ive lost around 40 pounds have lots of friends...no girlfriend but all in all im pretty content with my current self. funny thing is i never even deleted or canceled my account its still their charging me $15 a month...i should probably do something about that...

I lol'd at that.

Lol I guess that'd be an addiction people would be ashamed to admit to (yet plagues a lot of men no doubt)

Not just men, I've known quite a few women to like it as well. Have you ever seen how many "toys" exist out there for that that sole purpose? Disgustingly large amount.

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.

Smoking, of course i'm smoking again but I was going through a pack a day and went cold turkey. Some small head aches and cravings the first two days but the third day I was in class and I went from being just fine to feeling like my world was crashing down. My skin started to crawl and I felt really worried for no real reason, I was incredibly anxious and got out of class got a pack smoked it over 2 days and after that didn't smoke for like 2 months. I have a lot of respect for people that have smoked for like 30 years and quit, I don't know how they manage it. I've only smoked for two-ish years and my experience just makes me never wanna quit, of course I will again before I go off to college this year.

 

[MorsePacific]

I don't think it's an addiction, but I had trouble breaking my nail chewing habit. There are a lot of other things I'd like to stop doing, but sometimes I just don't have the strength of will.

 

[xXAsherahXx]

After a few days of smoking pot I found myself jones-ing for it. Weird as it isn't addictive, perhaps is was laced. Took a few days to overcome but it wasn't anything physically or mentally exhausting. I still smoke it, but like once every few months, fuck buying it for myself, I can't stand the waiting.

Smoking doesn't make any sense to me to begin with, but good for you guys that have quit, I'm still waiting on some friends of mine.

Does everyone here masturbate chronically?

 

[TheKruzdawg]

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.

Same here. It's fucking awful (no pun intended). I know there's a biological thing there, to a point, but I don't want to be doing it just because I'm bored.

I know right? I hated it. I was even doing it while I was in a relationship, and that was with a girl who loved sex. It was messed up, but it's better now.

true. Just on average it seems to be more male than female, but hell, they're awfully good at keeping secrets, no?
So damned if I really know.
