Do you have any addictions? :ohwell:

[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".

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

[Icebot]

I'm addicted to the Internet and junk food.

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!

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.

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!
