as the titles says, whats somthing you feel addicted too? that you cant do without

me: Caffine most of the time I feel like a zombie if I dont have some in the moring, that said I can actually not have it depending on what Im doing, I dont like coffee so I have energy drinks (which really as far as im concerned is just sugar wih a little less caffine)

the internet, Im constantly checking up on the escapist...hell I should make it my homepage, aside from games its my main source of entertainment as I dont really watch TV (having a limit is a ***** though)

my computer: because its pretty much got everythign on it, my games and my internet (and my art), its not so much being on it thats the addiction but more having it around, I dont like the idea of not having access to my laptop


forums...Im always making up new threads just for the hell of it and I get a buzz everytime somone quotes me...

oh and posters, always seeking out new crap to put on my walls

I used to be addicted to things, but then I blinked and I cured my brain.

But the internet still exists, and if I am addicted to something, it's that.

*sings* Caffeine/ coffeee/ coffee, coffee coffee/ and an energy/ driiiiiiink/ Caffeine! *end singing*

Seriously, 8-12 cups and 3-6 cans of energy drink a day or I get migraines and cranky as all hell. Thanks to caffeine I'm bouncy like Tigger, energetic, happy fun-time, super-special-awesome up for anything and very "Pinky Pie" most of the day. Until I crash. Then I'm a zombie.

As I've told my smoker friends when they complain about the cost of cigarettes:"It's your own damn fault. Why can't you just be addicted to caffeine like a normal person?"

One word.

Lolicon.

That is all.

Actually, that is not all.

Nostalgia.

Because it is a powerful force the likes of which you can never comprehend.

:p

I have a nasty addiction to sleep. :(
If I go even one day without getting my fix I'll feel head-achey and awful.

I went nearly three days without sleep once, it was terrible! I was nearly hallucinating! I wish I could break the habit, sometimes it feels like it's taking up a third of my life.



But seriously I don't have anything I would call an addiction: I like me caffeine but I regularly go days and days without any. I smoke occasionally but it has never been habit forming for me (I might smoke a pack in a couple weeks and then not have any desire to smoke again for months) and I drink alcohol but certainly not in an addictive manner, once to three times a week. So yeah super-powers or self control or just plain not wired that way? Who knows... or cares lol ;)

Internet Porn
There have been many a night in which of sat up, alone in a dark room, searching through page after page of hentai.

Pik-Niks
Those delicious little shoe-string potatoes. If there are pik-niks in the house I will eat them.

I think somtimes addiction can depend on circumstance

I can go without caffine fine if im doing other things, like working but If I have nothing to do my caffine addiction comes back because I need stimulation

I've always said that marketing energy drinks to teenagers was the smartest business move any industry made since the tobacco companies started marketing cigarettes to teenagers. After all, they're both highly addictive substances.

OT: The internet, I guess? I wouldn't say I'm really addicted to anything, but I certainly spend a lot of time online.

No, I drink several of the smaller cans. I know it's not good for me and I regularly get stomach pains, breathing problems and that thing where you feel your heart going crazy, but it's the only way I can get through a day of classes, work, projects, studying and dance lessons on 3 hours sleep. My body does seem to have built up some tolerance over the years, though. I used to have the same symptoms with much less coffee.

Caffeine, Monster is my preferred drink.

Does any one remember when the energy drink "Cocaine" was still on the shelves, I used to drink 2 or 3 of those a day. My friends swore I'd die before I turned 18 lol

Also picked up a taste for cigars in college... any one else pick up a vice in college or a similar situation ?

Caffeine. I get a headache if I don't get enough per day, and in enough separate doses that I don't crash.

And we're not talking little "that's annoying" headaches. I mean, vomit-inducing migraines.

I've used iced tea to step myself down to being able to not have any caffeine, but I never keep it up for more than a month or two and then I'm back on the good stuff.

Edit: Oh, and sex. Cause this is me we're talking about, and I haven't talked nearly enough about my sex life to strangers on the internet yet tonight. ^^;;

Sugar-free Red Bull and Davidoff Menthol Lights. Quite a ridiculously expensive combination...Being a college student, paying for everything with a crappy work study job and loan money, I find myself often skipping out on meals to buy these two things...
Pretty screwed up, right?
