Poll: Addiction

[Nihlex]

Hi sorry if this has been done before, I used the search bar and found nothing but im tired so i may have missed something. Anyways Topic is pretty simple enough, im asking if you have suffered from an addiction, if so what kind and how did you handle it.

I suffered from Caffeine addiction I was drinking 2 energy drinks, 2 XL coffees, and 4 cans of coke a day roughly, it got to the point where I feinted and decided to stop. I limited myself to less and less caffeine each week because i had withdrawals and would get head aches and an upset stomach.

P.S This is my first poll sorry if it doesn't work, if you think i missed something let me know. =]

I have addictions, but They're small things. Cigarettes, caffeine, sugar, video games. Two out of the four I had to quit cuz I'm trying to lose weight, but cigarettes taste good and video games are fantastic, so, yeah. And I know smoking is bad for me so shush it.

i have an addiction to video games (Fallout 3 being one of them) i also have a bad case of anime addiction. They both cause me to feel weird and sometimes a little deppresed. They also give me cravings to watch/play them. It's a hard knocks life...FOR US! Lol. But I do have them as addictions.

Nice thread.

[Cherry Cola]

I'm addicted to this website!

 

[Irridium]

Games, if you count that.
I don't, but others might.

I'm also addicted to happiness

Chocolate. The weird thing is that it HAS to be chocolate buttons, even though normal chocolate bars taste the same (and gram for gram are cheaper). I suspect there may be a bit of OCD in there somewhere.

I'm not addicted to anything. I love my hookha though, though I'm not addicted... honest.

I'm currently addicted to two things: You Me At Six (I can't stop listening to them), and a Kuroshitsuji AMV that I watch nearly every day for some reason.

 

[Jark212]

I was quite dependent on a medication prescribed to me, but I've been off all my medications for 3 months and never been happier...

 

[The Candyman]

I'm addicted to goofing off and procrastinating. Also Zero Punctuation.

 

[The DSM]

I was addicted to WoW.

Replaced it with an xbox 360.

Had more fun on Tales of Vesperia than I did on that.

 

[El Poncho]

No, people said I was addicted to WoW I said I could stop when I wanted, and I did stop when I wanted so ha!

Booze and smoking. Now i'm only a social drinker and rare smoker.

I don't think I've ever really had an addiction. I've had a few things I've been a little obsessive over (when I first watched Lucky Star, I swear to God the theme tune did not leave my head for about two weeks) but nothing unhealthy. I mean, the internet is my greatest vice and I can and will go for notable periods of time without accessing it with no problem.

I guess you could say I'm addicted to air. More than about 60 seconds and I show some serious withdrawal effects.

Somehow through the years, I picked up on smoking cigarettes. I think it started about ten years ago when I was pretty steady into smoking pot and my connections dried out for a while and I needed something to take the edge off. I stopped for a couple of years, but picked it back up again and now is just an unconscious desire.
Honestly, I don't really like to smoke. Tastes horrible, and it stinks. Thought about trying electronic cigs to quit, but they are more expensive than the smokes I'm currently using, so it seems a bit stupid. Now if I can just get back to smoking pot more regularly I wouldn't need the tobacco... vicious circle I'm stuck in. But hey, we all gotta die, at least I have an idea what's going to catch up to me if I keep this up. Don't want to die and have it be a mystery that gets wrote off as "natural causes".

I used to be addicted to Wow.
