What were/are you addicted to?

[ma0]

Just porn mainly, but my god is it a vicious one. You can jack off several times with no thought, but one day you'll be so crippled by loneliness that you can't even find the joy to get into it, then sit in bed for 2 hours wishing you had genuine human connection.

Right now I'm also trying to form an addiction to gore, if that exists (self destruction and all that)

Alcohol. At my worst I was drinking 2-3 shots every day during the week (only after work, at least I had that going for me) and like 9 shots each day on the weekends (I think my record was 12). I would start drinking at 5am and just keep myself going until I went to bed. Unfortunately I built up such a tolerance it started doing fuck all for my mood and just made me sick instead. God knows what condition my liver is in.

Had to give it up but I think about drinking pretty much constantly and it will only be a matter of time before a find a new chemical to replace it.

Starving and caffeine.

I remember how oddly happy I was during the worst stages of my anorexia. it's fucked. I'm not anorexic anymore, but I still have a food addiction, i guess. It's a nuisance but nothing extreme.

i am mainly addicted to nicotine. i have tried most forms of it - cigarettes, cigars, pouches, snus, hookah, heats, but nowadays i just vape with the occasional marlboro, i can definitely hold a conversation just based off cigarettes lol. i used to be a very heavy drinker, my peak consumption must have been like 5 bottles of 80 proof gin every week with some ligher stuff thrown in, but i lost touch with my drinking buddies so ive stopped.

i feel you, in my last days seriously drinking i would just go through bottles, feel awful then puke it all out. i wish alcohol were more agreeable, i really did like being a drunk.

Alcohol and losing weight. I've struggled with alcohol since my teenage years and I've relied on it as comfort. As for losing weight, there was a point I was severely underweight and obsessed with the idea of looking perfect. Nowadays, I'm physically healthy. As for the alcohol, I've cut down on it immensely but I still use it to cope at times.

I guess I could have an addiction to masturbation as I do it quite often but I don't feel any shame or negative feelings from it so I don't see any reason to lessen it. I would probably become addicted to sex and hook ups if I had more access to that.

I was addicted to cutting but as I did it more, it has become less effective at making me feel better so do it less now so I won't say I am addicted to it anymore.

video games and social media are my addictive copes i guess shit can be worse, porn has gotten to the point where i feel so disgusted that its actually hard to get hard I guess maybe thats tmi.

 

[WildAtHeart]

Porn, maybe developing an alcohol addiction

 

[ilvgore]

social media specifically tiktok which made my attention span really worse its so bad and addicting
the second the would be maladaptive daydreaming although not that well known that a real problem people struggle with and its a bit differnet then daydreaming:( maladaptive daydreaming also distracts you from reallife and sometimes it worsens the perception of reality like being more comfortable in your fantasy world

 

[fuewybfunsfoiceoi]

Food and YouTube, and because I'm ashamed, I hide it as much as I can from my friends and acquaintances outside

 

[tirednwired]

Adderall, but I guess if I had an actual prescription it wouldn't be addiction, right? If only I wasn't still on my parents health insurance lol

 

[2messdup]

Just wondering, are you gathering data for a scientific study?

 

[SeekingOasis]

Nicotine. Vaping is cringe to some, I know, but it's a habit that I don't wanna give up just yet. Going to the gas station to get more nicotine gives me an excuse to get out of the house, and without it I probably wouldn't leave the house at all.

 

[manicstreetbeeper]

nicotine is the only substance that i'm truly addicted to. it sucks. i think i used to have a porn addiction and i'm glad that i quit. i barely watch it anymore at all.
