Legal or illegal. Games can be addicting, apparently the same chemical that triggers a nicotine fit is identical to that of one craving game time online.

You have any addictions? Addiction can be either mental or physical, or both.

Cigarettes?
Booze?
Chocolate?

Whats your addiction?

Do you feel you can "quit anytime" or do you feel you would need to seek counsel?

In denial?

Hehe, could be!

But, the question is in light of the Rush thread, for those who like to throw stones from glass houses. Doubt if any of them would admit their vices though. Denial isn't a river in Egypt.

coffee.

I used to smoke but nicotine doesnt hook me. I can start or stop at will, smoke a pack a day or quit for years. I havent had one in over a year except a few I had about 2 months ago, drinking jim beam out of the bottle and flying AH. And getting shot down alot.

I think that means AH is my gateway drug.

Finally kicked cigarettes in April 1999.... on the 7th, at 9:00 PM... and I still miss the little bastards!

Incidently, "sex" or anything similiar is not an answer due to its primitive behaviorial pattern imbedded in our primitive brainstems.

Step up! Froggy, you must be addicted to something..any others out there willing to fess up? Come forward. This is the place to face yourselfs.

I personally gave up smoking mary jane earlier this year.

However, I must say, I didn't smoke much, so it was pretty easy! I just stopped buying it!

It can be. But most people desire sex. Its a primitive brain stem feature built in.
