Are you addicted to anything?

I'd probably say using the internet for too long periods (at night before bed), eating takeaways that is helping to increase my belly, spending unnecessarily (not major purchases but buying snacks when I have plenty at home).

I am one of those people that gets addicted to things for short periods of time.....like a particular game, website or scratch cards etc

No real long term addictions thank god.

I'm addicted to trying to find someone, if that makes sense. Most of the time I see a girl, and can't help but think that she is the one, and it bothers me. I try and think of something to say to her, I can't I'm lucky if I say Hi, but it never goes anywhere. God, it sucks being desperate.

Music, Internet/my computer, Guitar. Probably more. I used to be addicted to Coca-Cola until my body forced me to stop (otherwise I still would be).

The internet, mhmm.

I do a lot of this, too. I don't have a lot of money because of it, and yet I continue. A growing CD collection takes my money away a lot, haha.

Hey, maybe I'm addicted to collecting CD's? Although I don't buy as frequently as I used to (maybe because I have no money :😛:).

xanax, painkillers and yellow bell peppers

Coffee, sweets, collecting.

Coca-Cola , Sweet-Sugary stuff, Music, My Computer

Being desperate is one of the worst things that can happen to someone.

an online game. i spend way too much time on it, i feel bad about putting real $ toward it, and it's not even that fun. i've been playing out of habit for quite a few years now, off and on. i'm in a strong 'on' phase right now and it doesn't feel good at the moment. bah, it's nonsense. :shyness:

thank goodness i'm going back to work full time very soon.

probably the internet to be honest. sadly, i start to panic if my router doesnt want to work or last time my laptop charger broke.

Me too! :blushing:

I am also addicted to shopping. Good thing I don't have a credit card!

I wish I was addicted to something healthy, like exercise...

Lately it's been watching beauty guru videos. As a result it's leading to forming unhealthy obsessions over some of the characters, and spending money I can't really afford to spend on facial and hair products.

..I'm stopping today!

well im addicted to working out a lot 🙂

I wish I could say that. I had a good session at the gym yesterday, but I haven't joined yet. It was just an assessment, and I was there with a support worker. I never would have been able to go by myself. But now I know how everything works in there I'm looking forward to giving it a go. Just so long as the place isn't packed with people.

As far as addictions go, I'd probably have to say videogames. Though I don't spend as many hours playing as I used to. I'm also addicted to horror films.

Same! That would end bad for me!

Fear #####

I'm addicted to sweets. Chocolate, liquorice, cookies.. NOM.

cannabis, I have smoked cannabis all day every day for over 15 years, about exactly half my life actually. when I dont have much money I spend £70 per week on it, when I do its £140.

also chocolate and nicotine, I have to have just at least some chocolate at night it makes me feel better mentally. reading this thread it makes sense about dopamine. also tea I drink about a dozen cups a day.
