What are your addictions?

[Colossal Spoons]

LOL Yeah, you remember that conversation right?

Hell no, I don't remember what I did yesterday haha

 

[AndThePickles]

[Colossal Spoons]

1. They're not "toys".
2. You don't know me.

 

[Bubonic]

Would you say that they are more than meets the eye?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Yessir. Last night there was a weird sound in the living room. Pickles sent me to check of course(so I could get murdered). Turns out it was just my TFs fighting in the night. No big deal.

 

[Bubonic]

Sounds like the natural order of things to me.

LOL!! Yesterday was my best friend's birthday. I posted on his Facebook page how we have been friends for over 25 years, and are still collecting the same toys. Transformers!!

They only real difference is now, he leaves them in the box, while I customize and sell them.

By the way, if Spoons finds that new Shockwave, have him PM me where it is.

Very interesting thread.

and hilarious too


For me. Food and internet.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Hey, you should add SHH in the poll. Lol.

 

[Bubonic]

I knew if I did that everyone would of voted for it as a joke.
So it's clumped under internet.

I wish I'd of made more poll options, kind of crap that 28% of the vote falls into "other", oh well.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

So. the code word for SHH is internet?

 

[SpideyVille]

So I'm pretty sure I have an internet addiction, since its the first thing I do when I wake up. I get up and check my laptop for various updates on the websites I frequent.

I also think I have an on again off again addiction with video games. I got a PS3 back in November, and it made me skip most of my classes for a week, which one absence is weird enough by me. I could spend a week obsessed with one game, while constantly checking online for deals on more games, but then I can go almost a couple of months without even thinking about playing. The problem is when I get the urge to play, especially something new, it's hard to stop, and I think it may have contributed to my sudden burst in "laziness" in terms of my school work in the past two semesters.

 

[Bubonic]

I'm in the exact same boat as you when it comes to the internet and video games.
But I can't call either an addiction because I frequently go months at a time without a fix without any trouble. Not sure it's an addiction if it can be forgotten so easily.

The video game thing is escapism, I've done the same thing, I'll have papers due and exams to study for or just having to deal with life in general and instead I'll immerse myself in a game, playing hours and hours a day until I finish it.

 

[SpideyVille]

Yeah, it's weird because I tell myself I want to focus more on school at the beginning of the semester, so I stop playing because I pretty much lose interest. But once midterms or finals are due, and I start stressing out about all the work, my way to deal with it is, like you said, to escape. It does calm me down, but I hate when I have that feeling of panic in the back of mind while I'm playing.

As for internet, yeah it's probably not an addiction as much as it is a time killer. The problem is I have too much free time to kill. Though I have realized lately that whenever I'm feeling really down about things and I have some money to spend, I find that I can't stop myself from buying things online. Even if its something I don't really need, just the thought of expecting something makes me feel better for a while, until I get it in the mail and no longer have anything new to look forward to.

People used to tell me that you couldn't get addicted to weed, turned out to be a whole lot of b.s.

I can imagine that it doesn't compare to the heavier drugs, but after smoking everyday for almost a year it was quite difficult for me to slow down when I wanted to quit.

You get in the mindframe that everything is better when stoned, I could hardly sleep the first week I had stopped.

You can't get addicted to weed. Period.

If you do, that's because you have an addictive personality. It's YOUR fault.

So 3 years when we started this thread, I came in with this problem....

Other was the option I had to put. My addiction is no surprise. I'm addicted to painkillers. Mainly Percocet, sometimes Vicodin.

Although I don't have to take them as often as I do. I have a prescription. But I always abuse it. I have a back injury, and could probably get by with taking normal tylenol or advil. But, I like to my doctors and nurses. I tell them the pain is too much to handle, and that I can't sleep. So, I get more painkillers. My 'scripts are refilled every month. The quantity is 100 Percocets, for a month. I'm normally out by the 20th, but I still have pills from other surgerys and doctors just lying around.

Also, I had to come to TN. for a week and a half, and I forgot all my pills at home. I don't know what I was thinking, I was rushing to get things so I could get on the road. I realized how much they affected my mood. I haven't been so "cheery" these past few days. I've had crazy mood swings, I haven't slept since Saturday Night. I get cold sweats, I get stomach aches...My dependency for them has put me over the edge so much. I'm willing to walk up to complete strangers down here, and ask if they have any. Or, I'm willing to skip out on the reason I'm down here, and head all the way up back home, just so I can have them.

Damn. I never openly admitted that before.

Since then, I haven't taken a single Percocet or Vicodin. I had the doctors give me the weakest pain killer around. Tramadol, which isn't even considered a narcotic. It helps with the pain, and I'm still not worried or thinking about getting high on the pills. Man, it was rough for a while though.

Thank you Mr. Internet Expert.

I've tried some much harder drugs and have done them at the most 2 times and never did them again. If I had such an addictive personality I'd be in a gutter somewhere by now.

Weed just gets a hold of me, gets me in a rut, it is a psychological addiction, today some random white rasta almost had me buying a two and a half until I snapped out of it.

 

[BizarroAids]

Congrats *hugs*

Thanks ATP! I feel better and different at the same time. They really jack with your mood/emotions.

Congrats.
Thinking of it I must of thought that sedatives would of covered painkillers or else I'd of given it its own category.

Oh well, not like this is being considered by Reuters.
