Addictions aren't just about drugs; they can be about anything that one cannot stop whenever they want because of a dependence, like the Internet, chocolate, sex, or whetever.

Carbohydrates. Seriously. Starting with sugar in sweets and ending with tons of rice, pasta and bread, I'm a regular carbohydrate junkie.
And that is followed by Internet access and media like anime and movies and books.
Combine them and you have a constantly-munching-while-watching-animes-24/7-in-a-window-while-browsing-Satorian. :relief:
I drink occasionally, about two times a month perhaps and don't smoke, while eating no meat, fish or poultry, so I'm living somewhat healthy otherwise.
And for some reason videogames stopped being fun for me. I can remember wasting away hours on different games years ago, but somehow that just vanished. I can't get into them and there are things I'd rather do than playing videogames. Very odd.
I don't know if it's an addiction, but I love eating. It is actually my life's pleasure. :-) I can go for days, weeks and months without sex, alcohol or entertainment, but I have to eat good food sometimes!! (beyond the food I eat for survival reasons of course)
Internet, video games and books.
You know those questions someone poses that you just have to have the answer to? If I can't get to a computer and google it I feel like I will go crazy!
I don't really miss video games when I am not playing them, but once I start I find it very difficult to stop - I will sit there with my belly rumbling, my throat parched and dying to pee, just so I can finish this level or beat that boss. It's pretty sad.
And books. One of the reasons I hate work is that it takes valuable time away from all the books I have to read.
For me that would be; music (I need it almost 24/7, even at night or can't sleep), Internet (mainly forums), video game, TV (movies) and since recently again tobacco...although I could/can quit whenever I want without any tricks or rubbish like those gums.
My addiction is playing my guitar; if I can't get to it for some reason I get all cranky, irritable and jumpy. :okashii:
Interesting polls.
I voted for "alcohol" and "tabacco".
Don't need sex, no gambling, no drugs.
Oh, I forgot to vote for chocolate. :P
I was addicted to Internet a few months ago, but not anymore.
Cue
The Internet, definitely has taken over as my addiction.
I could not get to sleep at night, and I feel irritated if I cannot
or don't have time to go on the computer.
I'm a Megalomaniac.
I really go insane if I don't hear music.
Internet, and mostly for communication. It's so convenient !
Besides that I like good food, chocolate, games for entertainment.
Most of all I'm addicted to company and girls xD !
I find it interesting that once again you started a thread without posting your own addictions. You have a history of this. Is it that you don't have any vices?
Jref! I have to check it at least once a day if it's possible :giggle: This forum is like my second family ^^
Tobacco. I wanted to stop smoking but i couldn't. I don't have a strong will i guess :relief:
Other - I would say music. I quite like being addicted to music. It calms me a lot and makes me feel good :p
What time? He posted yesterday at 6:30. Oh, are you referring that he may not want to post his addictions immediately so that no one would know what they were? In that case I guess replies are not expected?
It seems your addiction is moan and ***** about Maciamo every 5 damn minutes. There surely must be something more interesting than him ? :D
Some sociologists proposed an extended view of "personal knowledge", containing what one is able to access on the net within reasonable time. There is hardly any time difference between googling the answer to something or thinking hard about something that might have slipped your mind.
I wonder what this will mean in future times, where always-on PDAs or perhaps implanted computer devices turn us all into permanent nodes on the net.
I have ongoing addiction to " munchies " or snack foods,my mouth and right hand seem to work in tandem.:blush:
On the contrary. I haven't had much to do with him for several days now, and I really don't find him very interesting...actually quite boring now that you ask. I could respond to you with snide comments, but I won't go there.
My addiction is pointing out obvious observations to others who seem to be oblivious to the same. That, and keeping people in check when they try to overstep their bounds!:blush:
My addictions are chocolate, JREF, and literature.
I like looking at women. Even though I have a girlfriend it is still hard not to stare. Maybe that is just a man thing.
How many people besides guys would actually acknowledge sex addiction?
I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of but some people. I don't need sex but it's nice to have it available when you get the urge.:-)
-+Lives in belgium and totally dislikes chocolate,definately by overdose.+-
My biggest addiction is men. o.o The look of them, the taste of them.
Oh yeah and touching myself. Can't keep my hands off.
I second that. It's fun sitting around at my university (35,000 students, >50% female in general, >70% in my studies at the moment) and just looking at the people and especially the women. What I find most intriguiing and most peculiar is that many seem to be unaware of their own preciousness. I feel like talking to every single one to make sure they realize how special everyone of them is.
Humans. Odd folk.
If the warm and fuzzy feeling is not trusting somoneone...yeah..
ADDICTIONS ARE REALLY HARD FOR ME TO DEFINE BECAUSE I GO THROUGH SO MANY OF THEM. WELL I DO SOMETHING SO MUCH THAT I GET TIRED OF IT AND LOOK FORWORD TO MY NEW OBSESSION.
PAINTING, ANALYZING LITERATURE, POETRY OF ALL KINDS (EVEN THE DARK ROMANTIC AND TRANSCENDALIST)
LISTENING TO GOOD MUSIC AND DAYDREAMING.
OR DANCING TO IT PRETENDING I AM SOMEWHERE BEAUTIFUL OR IN SOME DESOLATE BATTLEGROUND WATCHING OVER THE RESTING PLACES OF THOSE VALIANT SPIRITS.
OH AND MOST OF ALL, ATTENTION AND HAVING EXTENSSIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH RANDOM PEOPLE.
THE POSSIBILITIES ARE FAR AND FEW WHEN YOU JUST OPEN UP TO THE WOLRD AND GET PAST YOUR FEARS. NOW I HAVE NEW ADDICTIONS.
SO HA:wave:
Clothes, trying to make myself look good and just recently academic sucess (BUT I AM NOT A NERD!!!).
Oh yeah and beer I really like beer ever tried Licher if you havn´t you really should.
Well, sex is not like an ADICTION (yet), but I think it could become, which is kind of making me worry...it is at the point of obsession. :worried: You just made me get a serious thought to it.
But chocolate is... :p
Where are all these women coming from that have sex addictions? And where were you 10 years ago?
Coffee, I always feel just a bit off when I don't get my coffee.
Apart from the waiting to pee part, I was the same. I'd even start playing an RPG after dinner and then look out the window to see the horizon beginning to light. It's one of the reasons why I haven't bought a new console.
Lets see, in order listed on the poll.
Internet, Video Games, Sex, Work, & Other
Other would be caffine
I didn't know how bad I needed the chat room to survive till it crapped out. I'm fading away to a shadow without it. It is my " cabin fever repel medicine " for Maine winter which is fast approaching.
Uncle Frank
PS - Anyone figure out how to repair chat yet ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????

Cool down buddy.
when chat on jref fails..
make sure you have something to back up like my
250+ Msn contacts.
80+Aim contacts
Gaiaonline forums
Drowtales forums
>_>
I remember a day when jref and all of the above were down..
I went loco.
I was without the internet for a couple of days last week and hadn't realised until then exactly how much I'm addicted to it. :bluush:
When I'm away from home, I don't miss it at all, for several weeks, because I'm busy doing other things. :)
But when I'm at home and don't have it.... O__O
I didn't think I used it that much.
But then I realised that I switch on the computer just briefly each night before I go to bed, to check my emails and chat with a few people before I turn in.
It's become part of my bedtime routine! :souka:
And without it I feel a bit isolated. =(
I can't just pick up the phone and call my mates when it's the middle of the night.
