Are there any addictions you have that you suffer from?  Being that I'm the creator of this topic I figure I'll start off by sharing my addiction problems.

I'm addicted to exercise, or more specifically I'm addicted to running.  You may think this isn't a bad thing since running is generally good for your health, increases cardiac output, keeps you slim etc but let me explain.  I also enjoy resistance training but combined with excessive cardio vascular training the effects are milidly catabolic(breaks down muscle).

I'm still excessively strong and can 1 RM bench press 260 lbs but I can't help but feel that my addiction to running is holding me back a little bit.

Running to me is like the fast food of exercise.  It is so convenient yet so effective and doing a nice 8-10 mile run can give you such an endorphine rush.  However, I used to get this endorphine rush from just weight training but now I'm finding that I can only get it from long distance running and I have to run longer and longer to get the same effects.  If I go more than 2 days without cardiovascular training I start to get withdrawal symptoms.  I become depressed, irritable and I feel like I'm losing all of my power.

I do enjoy running but I'm well aware that I'm borderline over-exercising and that it could eventually have a counter-productive effect on my workout regimen.  I'm worried I'll turn into one of those tooth pick marathon runners who have no muscle whatsoever.
That being said I know if I can cheat death as I have many times then I can overcome this obstacle in my life.

Also, I'm somewhat addicted to coffee though I wouldn't say I feel like I absolutely need it.  Still, I enjoy drinking a lot of black coffee.

Drink more liquor.

Oh, and I can't stop playing with myself. You want a marathon? Try doing that 6 hrs a day.

I'm not really a drinker.  I find that drinking to excess just makes me feel sick and lethargic.  Having one glass of red wine or maybe a high quality import beer a week is both pleasurable and rewarding.

Coffee with the occasional tea chaser.

You should bump it up to one glass a day. Really. It won't kill you.

I'm addicted to counting the threads in my carpet. I've sectioned off parts of it and after 3 successive counts with the same number being reached, I declare a thread count for that given area. Now I know what you're thinking, "But what's the problem!? That's a perfectly normal thing to do!" I know, I know! The problem is that I'm so scared of a thread being knocked lose that after a count is reached I must close off that part of the house so nothing can tamper with the count! I'm running out of living space! Dark times these be... Dark times...

Yes, I have addictions. No, I don't want to admit them.

I'm addicted to food, air, liquids, smoking, life, love, games, odd topics like this, sarcasm, opinions, dreams, morals, reality, imagination, stories, internet, free stuff, money, family, friends, sex, walking, working, moving my arms, moving my hands, chewing with my mouth closed, and in most cases, asking "dumb to most" questions.
All others I could go on forever about, but long story short, I am simply addicted to humanity.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned plastic surgery yet.



I think if I live long enough to see it I would become addicted to cybernetic augmentations and I would end up looking like the Omar from Deus Ex:Invisible War.

Being addicted to plastic surgery would be expensive.

Wow thats impressive stopping cold turkey like that. Kudos.

[Crippledcarny]

I'm more impressed by the toothpicks. 10 really?

[vometia]

I think I'm addicted to any unproductive use of my time. And worrying: I'm good at that, too.

Stopping it's easy.. Not smoking again = pain .. The first week i went through hell .

1 of my grand Father died of  lung cancer .. Aged 56 Years old
1 of my grand  father died of Euphysema .. Aged 61 years old

1 of my grand mother survived breast cancer  (She's 86 years old right now)
1 of my grand mother died of cancer before i was born(She died when my father was 15)

and  i visited someone in terminal phase .. It's was ugly .I stopped smoking the next day .
I don't want to die young .. and i don't want to  have a miserable life before dying.

So i think after realizing the chance i have to die from cancer might be high .. I stopped smoking and i won't ever touch a cigarrette in my life.
