Do you have any addictions? :ohwell:

[Mew]

Other than TMNT, what are your addictions?
It couls be eating, drinking, a fandom, or anything else! :):ohwell:

[Gunpowder]

I'm a gym/fitness addict, but that's about all I can think of...

[Katie]

Diet Dr. Pepper. It's sad really

[Powder]

If anything, it's eating habits. Not hooked on any substances that aren't related to food. I did smoke for like 8 years but I'm a year & half cigarette free with no cravings or regrets.

[Slade]

I have a pretty bad addiction to coke...:o I'm talking about coca-cola actually.

[pennydreadful]

Well, we're all Turtles addicts, right? :tlol:

[IndigoErth]

Outside the Turtles, um... internet in general.

WoW a little bit, but certain Turtles have been a bit of a distraction from it for a bit starting with movie drama. Will prob get back to that a bit more again at some point.

I also seem to be pretty into that oxygen stuff.

[Donnieangelo]

My Wiggles addiction might be starting to come back to me again. ALL THIS NOSTALGIA!

Oh, and I also have an addiction for collecting vinyl records. I guess it's time to start dusting off my record player and starting playing them again!

[Powder]

Outside the Turtles, um... internet in general.


How could I forget the internet? :tlol:

Gotta wonder where I really do stand with it, though. I spend most of my time at home, on the computer (though not always online, often times I'll be working on art or gaming), but I'm not like the average person who's constantly checking their phone for social network notifications & the like, & to me, that's what makes the distinction between addiction, & enjoyment. I'll go spend a week at my homeboys house recording music, drinking, going out, etc. & I'll glance at the cpu (which is there for music purposes) once or twice at the end of the day maybe, to check the drome & my email, but I don't go crazy not being on it. I rely on it heavily, for many things, but I can survive when the wifi is on the fritz or I'm traveling (without a smartphone, mind you!).

[snake]

Lots of stuff. Eating, toy collecting, constantly wanting sh*t.

[Leo656]

This is insanely personal and nobody is ever going to be completely honest about it.

Like, if someone here is tapping a vein, they're going to spill it to the whole forum. As if.

[pennydreadful]

Well, according to a test I just took on the internet, I'm not addicted to the internet. :lol:

[Slade]

Let's see what all I'll admit to.

Sex..though I've been having withdrawals...

Nicotene. But these ecigs are doing me good

Said Coca-cola

Chocolate. I have to have chocolate every day.

I would say I am addicted to social media. I check it constantly..though I don't have much to do anyway..or any one to actually talk to...

The Drome. I'm on here everyday too, whether I post or not.

Used to be addicted to games, but with no home internet (the f*ckers won't come out there) I kinda stopped playing.

Pain pills/adderral..they ain't mine, but they might as well be.

[pennydreadful]

Actually, I'll admit to having trouble in the past with my alcohol intake - I went through a patch where I was drinking heavily as a coping mechanism (for reasons I won't go into), but it's under control now.

Does an addiction to fanfic count? :tlol:

[Leo656]

I've been accused of having an "addiction" to porn, but I spend zero money on it and out of an average month I look at it maybe ten minutes total, so I hardly think it counts. It used to be more but that was a long time ago. I do talk about it a lot but in truth I'm mostly being colorful.

[ssjup81]

Milk! *gets strange looks* No, seriously! I do! I LOVE milk! I can drink a liter in a day without any problem at all. It's like after one gulp I want more. I'm a "milkaholic". lol It's best for me not to even buy milk. I shouldn't drink so much.

[ProactiveMan]

I used to be hooked on Pepsi Max, but I kicked that five years ago with extreme prejudice. It sounds dumb, but I had the shakes for three days, no joke. I have to kill ice-coffee soon because I consume that with concerning regularity.

[B-Man]

Buying action figures. This is a new development, only really kicked in the last 12 months. I stumbled across a movie-toy sale, bought a cart full and loved the novelty of it all. That was when it started. Then a mix of watching Black Nerd Comedy videos regularly (where he's proudly showing off his merch with glee) & frequenting sites such as this that accept your geek indulgences tend to make you a bigger geek. But it's to the point where if I've visited a mall, the trip feels incomplete unless I've bought some trinket or movie/TV-related merch (Turtles mostly). I'm worried cause I don't see this slowing anytime soon at all. I'm 30 for f*cks sake.

The internet. Specially when you find yourself just watching random Youtube just for the sake of it.

Drawing. Frequently get the urge to just doodle something.

Chocolate. Can't go a day without at least a bite.

Sex. If I haven't seen my girl in over a week, it feels like an issue.

Water. I have to skull a 1.5 liter of water before I go to sleep everynight. Not a bad habit, I guess.

TV/Blu-Ray Player. We had a 48-hour power cut here a few months back and the no-TV thing was affecting me. (:lol: this is all first-world problems but legit addictions)

[Gunpowder]

Drawing. Frequently get the urge to just doodle something.

Here's one that I used to have, but no longer do; and I would give anything to get it back.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Peanut butter! and Milk

[Prowler]

The Internet. I find it hard to go a whole day without it. Although I'd get more **** done if my internet connection was off for about a week. I'd read and study more. And also exercise more often. Yep, definitely addicted.

I also have a small addiction to caffeine. Nothing big but I feel that my brain needs its morning cup of espresso to function properly. I find it harder to focus on work and school if I don't drink coffee. It's not liek I was suffering physically, it was more of a mental thing, you know? "Man, I could really use a coffee".

[Mew]

Drawing.
If I don't have paper, I'm SOL.

[blindturtle02]

Red meat. Haven't had any in about two weeks and already lost four pounds. So I guess I'm doing alright. I don't think I could go without meat entirely so I've been doing a chicken breast every evening. Baked of course. My exercise bike is also helping.

[JetsAndHeels]

Collecting toys/action figures-It is a hobby, but also a way of life. I really need the distraction, so I am constantly in the cycle of going to stores, buying, opening, then it repeats itself. What troubles me even more is sometimes when I go to a store and there is nothing new, I may buy a double (or even triple) of something I already have. I also collect Transformers, so a lot of times I want more than 1 of a figure in case I break one or I need it to display in a different mode. I think this could be a hoarding situation.

The Internet-It has already been said here, so I don't have anything new to add.

My smart phone-I can't really go anywhere or do anything without it. I seem to always have it in my hand or nearby for when I want to check facebook or upload a picture to instagram or something. I don't like phone conversations, so texting is a great alternative.

Diet Pepsi/Caffeine-Every morning it's a Diet Pepsi or I have a headache by 9:30 or 10. Then at lunch I have one. Then after work. Then at dinner. Then after dinner when watching TV or whatever. I like having a drink with me at all times if possible.

Sweets/chocolate-I can't eat a meal without finishing it with something to ease my sweet tooth. I have always been like this. Some people can just eat, then go about their business. I have to have something to serve as dessert or it just feels incomplete.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I biggest addictions? TMNT, Dr. Pepper, and the Net. Also writing. I almost literally CANNOT go more than a day without writing SOMETHING. It's a compulsion for me.

[blindturtle02]

I biggest addictions? TMNT, Dr. Pepper, and the Net. Also writing. I almost literally CANNOT go more than a day without writing SOMETHING. It's a compulsion for me.

It took me forever to give up Dr. Pepper but I finally quit two and a half years ago. I still miss it. Well, I do have one whenever we go out to eat around twice or three times a year. I'd drink diet but it just doesn't taste the same! I switched to coffee because it contains less calories. I only use two teaspoons with my two cups each morning. It's good, but I still miss Dr. Pepper. I wonder if Jester is still a DP addict. We both were in our college days. That's for sure.

[Leo656]

After quitting soda a few years ago I literally cannot understand how anyone could drink it. And I was BAD, way worse than anyone. Now, if I even try it, I literally feel my guts rotting, the acid welling up in my throat, and I feel a sticky film crawl across my teeth, and I immediately need water and lots of it. That sh*t's beyond gross.

[Jester]

I wonder if Jester is still a DP addict. We both were in our college days. That's for sure.
Yes...but I dink a lot less now that I don't work at a grocery store which was really bad at enabling. Now I only drink it once or twice a week...as opposed to once or twice a DAY!

[Leo656]

Yes...but I dink a lot less now

I usually wait to "dink" until I get home, I don't like doing it in public.

[blindturtle02]

Thanks Leo. Now I got this in my head. Or should I be blaming Jester? haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCApeXCE0W8

Yeah, I've never liked soft drinks. Even as a kid I hated em...I think I've drank a total of a few sips throughout my lifetime.

[lindz247]

I don't do soft drinks. Sometimes tea but when I go to a restaurant I always get water. I think I might be addicted.
And TMNT- a yes for all of us. :lol:

[Icebot]

I'm addicted to the Internet and junk food.

[Mew]

I only drink diet.
No, not because I'm chunky :/, but regular sodas are too darn sweet.

[Donatello19]

Probably the internet, and as far as food goes, sweets.

[lindz247]

YES way too sweet!
But once in a blue moon I'll drink root beer.. love it but it's never available!

[Donatello19]

YES way too sweet!
But once in a blue moon I'll drink root beer.. love it but it's never available!

Man, I haven't had root beer in years! I used to love it...

[blindturtle02]

There's this really awesome root beer I can't find anywhere in TX. Yes, I enjoy that every once in a while. My favorite is a brand called Iron Horse. Fantastic stuff. Oh, I forgot that I'm addicted to pizza and of course TMNT. Haven't had pizza in ages though. I miss it.

[BlueKatanas]

I used to be seriously addicted to diet soda (any kind). Made a serious decision to kick the habit back in October and haven't had any since. We'll see if it sticks, lol.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Never heard of Iron Horse, but I LOVE IBC. Aside from DP, root beer is the only soda I usually drink. And forget the knock-off DP brands- they all suck. Won't touch them. If the real thing's not available, I'll either drink root beer, tea, or RC Cola. I'm also very fond of hot cocoa or hot apple cider. And the McD's mocha frappe's. THOSE things are addicting as heck, along with the strawberry crème pies! And now I've gotten hooked on the Taco Bell Cinnebons. So sweet and yummy!

I'll eat pizza, Taco Bell, hardly, and Subway.
Mhhhhh......Subway!

Are the strawberry cream pies the ones with the cream cheese in them? I love those. And yeah, I don't go for the DP knockoffs either. I tried giving Dr. B a whirl but it tasted as if it was trying too hard. I guess it'd do if there were no other options but I hope that day never comes. haha

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Yup, those are the ones. They used to be only a seasonal thing, but after last year, they seem to have made them permanent since they are so popular. I was crushed when they got replaced by the peach ones a couple of months before I quit working there, but then they brought them back again just a few months later. I guess they're here to stay now, which is great, because I used to have one every morning when I'd get there. And don't even get me started on the DP knock-offs- Dr. Thunder (the Wal-Mart brand) is awful! It's just too syrupy. Though Mr. Pibb isn't too bad, I guess.

[blindturtle02]

Holy crap! The strawberry cream pies are here to stay! Awesome! Haven't had one in a few years now because I figured they weren't coming back. And yeah, Dr. Thunder is pretty awful. They used to serve that in my high school and college band days. I just stuck with water. I forgot about Mr. Pibb. Yeah, I can stand that stuff. It's actually not half bad.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Well, don't quote me on that about the pies being permanent, since I'm no longer in the loop on that, but it sure looks that way. They were only gone for maybe for or five months before they brought them right back, and now the peach ones are gone. They may have replaced the cherry with the strawberry crème, I think. The cherry just weren't selling well anymore. Too many people switched to the strawberry, I guess. I like em when they're fresh out of the oven, still gooey and warm. Though they're even still good the next day. (I've had a couple I bought and forgot about after getting home, and ate for breakfast the next morning, and were still tasty after being warmed up.)

[lindz247]

Woohoo!
If only things that tasted good were good for you...
Has anyone tried a root beer float? They're rare to get but when you taste them I guarantee your mind will blow up like Mikey with pizza.

[Mew]

Woohoo!

You can make them at home, or get them at a restaurant.
I don't have an A&W here in Waynesboro. oh well.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Ah, A&W is good, but nothing beats the IBC in the glass bottles. It also makes great floats.

[blindturtle02]

Oh yeah, I love root beer floats. The best vanilla ice cream I've managed to find for floats is this HEB brand called Creamy Creations home made vanilla. I think that's the one, anyway. Breyers and Bluebell have awesome vanillas too. Dr. Pepper floats are also divine. I've never tried other flavors of ice cream in floats. So far I've just stuck with vanilla. Smoothies rule whenever I can find the frozen strawberries to make them with. I prefer strawberry banana, but that's just me. I have more of an excuse to make them since this goofy TX weather never makes up its mind as to whether it wants to stay hot or cold. Oo, and I hear the A&W restaurants have awesome burgers. I need to give them a try eventually.

[Mew]

I've had A&W Cans, but I prefer Mug.

If you like DP floats, you probably love the DP Vanilla float freeze TB has now. It's a DP float slushy! I sometimes drink that at work instead of the regular DP, and they're really good.

[blindturtle02]

TB has a vanilla float freeze? I love tacos and I love floats, so my head just exploded.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Yup yup. And the new crunch-wraps are good too. I like the BLT one. Bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and Fritos, with a bit of avocado ranch. Very good. Though the beef and cheddar one's good too. They've got a steak and cheese flatbread "stacker" that's pretty good, too.

[Slade]

So...this turned into the "I love root beer" thread pretty fast.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Consider it thread-jacked, LOL!

And I'm feeding two of my addictions right now. Go figure.

[Jester]

The Walmart Neighborhood Market close to my house carries a soda called Flying Cauldron Butterscotch Beer. Man...that's almost good enough for me to leave Dr Pepper forever.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Sacrilege! Away, thou heretic! :twink::tlol::trazz::teek:

[Jester]

I'm sure you Texans have had Dublin DP, before it was unceremoniously retired for "diluting the brand".

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Actually, it's still around, Jester. It's hard to find, but it's out there.

[blindturtle02]

I'm sure you Texans have had Dublin DP, before it was unceremoniously retired for "diluting the brand".
I've come across Dr. Pepper with Imperial Pure Cane sugar. Sounds like that one's straight from the Darkside but I'm itching to try it. Who knows? They might put that in every can anyway. Krunka lunka dunka dingredient, I've never asked about the secret ingredients.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Yeah, I've seen that one too. In fact, they have bottles of it at the Shell station just down the street from me.

[Jester]

I know my wife prefers the Pure Cane Sugar version.

Ms.Marvel, is it just the last remnants or are they actually "fresh" bottles?

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I'm guessing they're fresh ones, as they get restocked pretty often. I know they run out pretty fast in the few stores around here that have it! Like I said, it's hard to find, as not many places sell it, but I do see it in a few places. And it always seems to sell pretty well. I think they just do it as a "limited retail" thing now.

[pennydreadful]

So...this turned into the "I love root beer" thread pretty fast.

It should have turned into the "I love cheesecake" thread. Any fool knows that cheesecake is the ambrosia of the gods.

[Leo656]

True story, I'm a huuuuge fan of Power Girl.

.........oh, you meant the other kind of cheesecake. Huh, that's alright too I guess.

[Spike Spiegel]

True story, I'm a huuuuge fan of Power Girl.

.........oh, you meant the other kind of cheesecake. Huh, that's alright too I guess.

Yeah, I love that stuff, too, if you can't tell by my sig and avatar. Power Girl, She-Hulk, and Big Barda FTW.

I wish somebody would give Power Girl a well-written series. You know the "new" PG is an African-American teenager now :o

I guess I'm also addicted to collecting obscure anime, Game Boy Advance games, and comics...

[Redeemer]

Milk! *gets strange looks* No, seriously! I do! I LOVE milk! I can drink a liter in a day without any problem at all. It's like after one gulp I want more. I'm a "milkaholic". lol It's best for me not to even buy milk. I shouldn't drink so much.

:lol:

same here. except it has to be chocolate milk. I drank a half gallon in 15 minutes without puking before :lol:

[MsMarvelDuckie]

It should have turned into the "I love cheesecake" thread. Any fool knows that cheesecake is the ambrosia of the gods.


I was going to list that as another addiction of mine, but I thought maybe that would be one too many. I already mentioned TMNT, Net, DP, and I MIGHT be a little addicted to chocolate.

[blindturtle02]

Oh I'm very much addicted to chocolate. Cheesecake too. Give me a chocolate cheesecake and I'm on top of the world. Oreo cheesecake is also awesome.

[Jester]

Rally's. Totally addicted to Rally's. Greasy cheesey burgers with bacon, fully loaded fries....

I hate myself after eating there, but soooo tasty.

[Lethal Lullaby]

Me too, brother, me too.

[senpai]

Seeing everyone talk about cheesecake just makes me so sad. I'm a health nut with awful tummy issues so I avoid a lot of desserts and milk products, etc.

But that's not an addiction xD Let's see. Some of mine are...

1. Persona series (mainly P4)
2. TMNT (duh)
3. The Amazing Spider-Man comics (older ones, not the one that came after Superior Spidey which, btw, SS was amaze balls!)
4. Pho
5. Sushi
6. Piggies! They are so cute!!! <333 I want one.
7. Dressing up! I love skirts and dresses! :3
8. Tea.
9. Reading. I LOVE BOOKS!
10. And because I'm weird and don't want to stop at 9, I'll say internet as my 10th addiction. I am a proud mother of my addictions C: Embrace the cute piggies, drink tea, and prosper.

[SophieDem]

Wohoo, love these threads :D
I never tried cheesecake before... is it that good, guys?

For me there are chocolate, green tea, oatmeal, working out and bananas. And books. And dogs and turtles. TMNT and Super Sentai.
I remember I was hooked on chocolate for a while and I could consume huge amount of that. It was not really good ><

[Amaranthus]

Chocolate.

[pennydreadful]

Busadara, cheesecake is the food of the gods!

senpai, I feel you on the book addiction thing - I'd go nuts if I weren't able to read. 8)

[BubblyShell22]

Yep, totally addicted to reading and don't know where I'd be without a book. They truly are a great way to kill time and amuse yourself.

[blindturtle02]

I forgot how cool pigs were. Got to pet one a week or so ago. I guess I was inspired by Simpsons Tapped Out's new update.

Pigs are so funny. I was volunteering at a vet's office once and they had a petting zoo outside along with a potbellied pig. He was HUGE and all he wanted you to do was pet and feed him. I'm like your life must be so simple.

As for reading, there should be more pig books xD You know, besides Charlotte's Web and Animal Farm.

More pig books besides Web and Farm? Then it'd be impossible to say which was which. I really couldn't resist. But seriously, I agree. You don't see too many of those.

As for addictions, have I mentioned strawberries? I've gotten so desperate over the past month or so that I've bought frozen. Hey, don't knock em, folks. They ain't half bad. I don't add sugar, but they taste great to me.

[SophieDem]
