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?

Rip doesnt want to admit it but this board is obviously his addiction.

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.

Shooting my mouth off on BBSes.
Oh yeah, and nicotine.

Was...
Clean since September 1990.
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. :eek: However, I must say, I didn't smoke much, so it was pretty easy! I just stopped buying it! :D

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

Yeah, ask Wade Boggs:lol
I'de have to say coffee too. I get a wicked headache by mid afternoon if I go w/o coffee. I do need to reduce my intake.
-
I'm addicted to multimedia. BBS, TV, DVD, game, music, chat. I've pretty much always got one or more going. I can live without them, but it causes greatly increased alcohol consumption. I'd probably be an alcoholic if I couldn't "jack in" every night.
-
Coffee, I could not live with out it, and I am never giving it up.
Got to know Mary Jane pretty dang well in High school, quit because I wanted to see how High I could get my GPA before graduation...3.8!
Never did anything else. I drink a beer every now and then, havent even had a buzz since the fire fighters ball in 1997. Getting too old, can't take the hangovers.

Starbucks Iced Venti White Mocha w/ no fat milk...

:eek: It can't be! :eek:
I am NEVER without a bag of SAM's Club Pistachios (2.99 a bag :D) and a Pepsi nearby. There are half bags everywhere around the house. It used to be Dr Pepper and sunflower seeds but they were out one day and I had to substitute.
Oh...Pepsi Twist and Pistachios...echhh...don't bother.
I wonder if there are complimentary chemicals in these two products that when consumed together induce a state of euphoria? Hmmmm...a CIA coverup...hmmm.... :D
-
Weed,oxycontin,beer,porn,caffeine,pc games and I guess WW2 stuff.
But I do not use drugs. No way!:cool:
Too much coffee. My arms twitch when I type.
-
women with large breasts:D
-
DOuble shot Kona Mocha!:D :D
-
my kids are all adicted to food. I must've got them hooked right after birth. I'm sure if we hadn't started feeding them in the first couple days they wouldn't be eating today.
-
"Are you addicted to anything?"
Not to anything that requires a Federal mandatory time in prison for illegal possession or use.
I’m just a 22-year public safety officer (Police-Fire-EMS). I work at an airport and subject to numerous FAA, Federal mandatory, drug and alcohol testing.

C99:D

Yeah, I'm addicted to mescaline, MDMA, methamphetamine, and phenobarbital. I can stop anytime I want to.
(dumbest topic EVER)
-
Life...
-
I suppose caffine (coffee) and nicotine (cigarettes). I enjoy rum a lot and drink 4 to 12 oz. every day but can live without it pretty easily. When I don't drink coffee it doesn't seem to have any adverse effect on me. Interestingly, coffee won't keep me awake...sure makes me pee a lot though.

I agree. Why not start a topic on "why did your marriage fail", or "how has bankruptcy effected your life?"
If you need this sort of Jerry Springer interaction from the AH BBS members, I guess it's ok, but I don't get it.
Ripdork, I know it's mindless and impossible, but just continue to 'Cut and Paste' news topics from now on, please.

you're very luck then, when I quit drinking soda (did you get your caffine somewhere else when you go without coffee)last spring I had a fairly stuborn headache for about 1 1/2 weeks.
I actually had to go as far as buying a bottle of mt dew, an drinking a shotglas full in the moring to keep the headaches to a minimum.

Women!!!! especially redheads

used to have plenty - now have none
maybe one - breathing

Both of course; actually one of my favs is live baby shrimp niguiri (bed of rice), they crawl and squiggle more than walk though.

I have to admit I too am addicted to Sushi, Cigs, Rum, chicks with big tits, blonds, spending money. I am a classic case for a shrink to say we are throwing away the key and here is a vest it's rather tight but deserving.
-
adreniline, coffee, women, cars, firearms, movies, books, ultralights aircraft, motorcycles,whatever holds my interest.
if it is worth doing it is worth doing addictively.... otherwise you are probly on a date or a family thing.. hopefully not both at once.

...picking on morons that carpet their garage... :p
Coffee's my only real fix...have to have one, otherwise I get that monster headache for which no Advil, Aleive or Tylenol can quell.
Rip, in the process of buying a house now, 2 bay garage...perhaps a nice flat weave, or a variable loop? :rofl
-
I'm looking for a new addiction since I can't
drink alcohol/caffeine or smoke any more.. sigh

Neg, go with an indoor/outdoor brand. None of that cheap Home Depot stuff either. Make sure you get good garage matts, the type that absorb or run-off water, oil, etc. ;)
For heaters, email me. Warm, carpeted garages make a nice hobby shop too. ;)

I'm addicted to girls.
For awhile, I was going through a new women every 60 days, over lapping them by about two weeks.
Last one lasted about 70 days.
Friday, I told her I wanted to back off a bit, each of us to catch our breath. Her neediness was getting to be too much. Plus she has an agenda - shackles, umbilical cord, leash, and marriage. Unequivically, I've told her that's not going to happen for at least two years.
She sends me an email yesterday morning, saying she's breaking up with me, and wished me well. - Ok if that's what she needs. I wished her well.
Last night she calls me - 3 am in the morning, crying, wanting to explain why she can't see me any more, upset that I let her go so easily. She can't get to sleep until she tells me. She vents, I listen, and says good bye. I go back to sleep.
This morning I call her, had to clarify a few issues, plus I wanted to see if she's ok - she was rather distraught. We talk, She wants to see me again.
What a headache.
I've already started with two other women. Re-kindled a relationship with an ex who looks like Geena Davis, and working on another who looks like a young Stevie Nicks.
I was hoping to release this one back into the wild, but she's a nice lady and I'm addicted, and she keeps coming back for more.
These women are trying to get me to marry them... I had 13 years of marriage, and that aint going to happen again for awhile.

damn ok
picking the hair from my nose?
oh wait that's not an addiction, more like a psychosis.
porn?
that should fall into sex cathegory and according to Rip that's normal. plus I don't need porn when I have real women.
sweets? chocolate maybe? sometimes I crave.
-
My addictions these days are Thomas Kemper rootbeer and Oreo blizzards.
I haven't drank alcohol or caffiene in 19 years and done any illegal drugs in 22 or 23 years.
Could I stop anything any time I wanted? Absolutely, as is evident by my paragraph above.
;)
-
Haribo Gold-Bears.
Though I'm not sure whether it's a true physical addiction - I've never tried to kick it and so I don't know the potential effects.
-
Addicted to food, water, and air. Without it I'll die I tell ya!!!
:D
Actually addicted to my many hobbies (all legal).
I don't drink alcohol or smoke anything.
My pancreas doesn't like my drinking sodas (usually Coke) all the time. Hmmm homemade iced tea is very addictive also.
Bah, too many addictions to list.
-
Nicotine, THC - MAYBE cafine and sugar
