Opening new tabs in my browser without closing old ones. Right now I’m staring at literally 47 tabs, and I keep telling myself I’ll read them ‘later.’ It’s like some weird digital hoarding that’s eating up my RAM.
Im an alcoholic. I’ll get good stretches of sobriety, then binge. I’m on one now. I’ve probably finished a pint of my fith sitting at the park. I’m just listening to music and doom scrolling.
There was a time growing up, i was so addicted to weed and porn. It made me feel like am the worst person on earth.. can’t believe it’s years now since i been addiction free. It’s all about deciding
Was biting my nails but I thought it was bad because I would do it on purpose to draw blood and cause open wounds so I got infections. So I started picking at the skin around it aaaaand now I can’t stop. I use nail clippers to cut the skin to do the same thing. Even now, I’m playing with the skin. I need to let them heal.
Iced coffee, I got off caffeine and I was struggling for like 2 months with my energy levels so I got back on caffeine and I’m not dozing off anymore throughout the day.
Soda. I can’t stand the taste of coffee or tea, but I have to have caffeine in my system becuase it is the only thing that helps subdue my chronic migraines. I wish caffeine was the only addiction but the sugar on top makes it worse
I think the most obvious one is an addiction to sugar. I feel like most of us have an addition to sugar, to some degree— at least in America. My sweet tooth is violent. However, I have a real Diet Pepsi (I guess, aspartame?) addiction.
Taking pictures. It’s not “bad” necessarily, but it takes away from being present with your family or whatever you’re doing. Bc you’re always focused on capturing the moment
I’d rather not say… ok well fine. I’m addicted to keeping my fecal excrement in bags in the fridge.. I take individual bags out and smell the contents of the bag. why? I’m not sure.
Coffee and scrolling / phone.
I don’t think coffee is inherently bad for you but I also have some generalized anxiety, and the feeling of not wanting to or be able to go a single day without 1-2 cups sucks. But maybe I haven’t hit a bad enough ‘bottom’ with it to be motivated to give it up for a while. Cause it also puts me in a good mood and energizes and motivates me. Idk, my long game will be to give it up for a while
Food. I can handle eating normal portions just fine. But where it with me gets difficult is with sweet stuff and portion control. If i think about eating some chips i don’t eat a small bowl but i think about eating the bag in one sitting.
And the same with chocolate, i cannot eat just one piece of chocolate and put the bar away, i have to eat the full bar.
But the weird thing is, if i “just” eat normal things i don’t have that. But if i have a cheat day and think “i’ll eat some chips today” i eat the whole bag instead of just a small bowl. Which on a cheat day isn’t suuuppppeeer bad. But it’s not necessary.
I have an addiction to a person. Like seriously that person is always on my damn mind, the first one I want to show/tell something when something good/bad happens…I end up bothering him all the time, it sucks. I kinda muted it down by finding many online friends through different apps… But it’s still total shit and it’s all I can think of it makes me unable to function in school and such… I don’t even know why, it cannot be the effects of fenylethylamin because it’s been over two years… Man I don’t know
All the signs are there. Withdrawal when I don’t see him, I feel hyped and high when I’m with him and it’s the only time in the day that I don’t hold my phone and doomscroll.
Would have probably not be so bad if the relationship wasn’t slightly toxic. (He has no romantic feelings for me but also has 0 problem having sex all the time)
I am currently trying to recover from alcohol, I am “weaning” I guess so I am currently drinking on weekends only, this is from drinking atleast a half pint everyday.
Reddit and sugar. I’m getting better at not eating sugar. Not opening reddit every few minutes if there’s even a slight hint of a lull while maybe waiting for something else to load has proven extremely difficult.

The addiction of overthinking things that don’t need to her overthought (I probably spelt that wrong)

Counting calories, it ruined my relationship with food.

I am currently trying to recover from alcohol, I am “weaning” I guess so I am currently drinking on weekends only, this is from drinking atleast a half pint everyday.
I bite my nails. It’s not that bad but I fucking hate it so bad
