Are you addicted to anything? Have you kicked any addictions in the past? Has anyone close to you had any serious addictions? What is the most ridiculous addiction you've heard of?
Are you addicted to anything?
As much as I hate admitting it; I'm addicted to food. I mean, everyone is - really - we need it to survive. But I have a really unhealthy attachment to it. Food is my comforter when I'm feeling anything other than contentment.
Anger = I eat
Boredom = I eat
Threatened = I eat
Depressed = I eat
Ugly/Worthless = I eat
Frustrated = I eat
Unheard = I eat.
It just goes on and on. I am SO RARELY hungry I often get confused when I "feel" hungry because I have forgotten what that sensation actually feels like. If I could get myself to eat ONLY when hungry I would be half of the size I am today. It's a serious addiction and I hate it. Eating Disorders are not fun.
Have you kicked any addictions in the past?
Sadly no, although I did have to put myself on a 3 month eBay ban because I was becomming seriously indebt from all my overspending. That was very close to becomming an addiction.
Has anyone close to you had any serious addictions?
Jamie is addicted to World of Warcraft. He will NEVER ADMIT IT, but he is. Our credit card denied his renewal the other day, so when he went to log in he received an "out of playtime" message and was unable to log in... so he went back to bed. I was devestated. He was awake enough to play wow, but not awake enough to stay up with me. The minute he gets out of bed he's on the PC, the minute he gets home from work he's on the PC. And he'll be up to 2 or 3 in the morning on Non-work days, playing wow. He has a friend on WOW in America and I swear Jamie has a boy-crush on him. This friend is planning on moving to Australia (he's saving up for it as we type) and I'm seriously concerned I will lose Jamie to him for a while. Not in a gay type "my husband left me for another man" way; but Jamie forms these obsessions over people and they become his whole world for about 4-6 weeks. Jamie and Dan are really really close and I can seriously see this happening. At least he'll be in the same house, but I know that those two will just about be a married couple for a time. *sighs* LOL
What is the most ridiculous addiction you've heard of?
If it's serious, no addiction is ridiculous. However I had a non-serious addiction to KFC Mashies (mash potato balls in a yummy coating) for a while. That was pretty ridiculous lol
