i am an addict in recovery and i never had one addiction. the point of addiction is that it’s your solution to a problem. until you work on the real problem, addiction is just the scapegoat.
marijuana. the only reason im recovering from mine is because i got diagnosed with CHS. i asked my boyfriend the difference between high me and now me and he said, “you seem like a girlfriend more than a roommate now.” and that shit hit me hard personally. now i’m finally employed again, and able to pass a drug test after 5 years 🙂
Nicotine (Only for people with bad ADHD but it isn’t really that addicting for people without ADHD/Autism) as someone with ADHD and high functioning (AKA Mild) Autism, that shit feels so agonizing especially with withdrawal.
It gives you dopamine you get from sex but without the bonding .. this slowly makes you snti social because you can easily get the supply without going through the hassle of a partner
It isolates you , put unrealistic expectations on your partner, normalises abusive sex, causes impotency among healthy men because real women cannot match the porn stars
Worst of all, it’s virtually free if you have internet connection and no visible effects
I have been sober from smoking, meth, cocaine and crack for more than 30 plus years and no addiction in my opinion is worse than this: SELF LOATHING!
You do deserve good and so do others. When people punish themselves for their own fortunes they then punish others for theirs, it’s a vicious cycle. Be happy for other people’s success and embracing theirs will make them happy for yours!
Having an addiction to validation on social media. Watched my best friend spiral into depression because she based her entire self-worth on likes and followers. She’d cry if a post didn’t get enough engagement and even started buying fake followers. It’s scary how normalized this has become.
Addictions by definition are compulsions that are repeatedly committed that create adverse consequences. Any addiction is detrimental to the quality of one’s life.
Anything triggering dopamine (inc. in-game purchases, gambling, social routines, even making yourself up in front of a mirror) is bad, but foreign neurotransmitters/hormones (e.g. narcotics, nicotine, even melatonin) are particularly bad because they throw off the body on a physiological level
All addictions are the worst one. Jimmy the crackhead is on the same level as Patrick the alcoholic… it all comes down to the fact that addiction ruins ppls lives, tears families apart, and causes problems beyond just the substance that they are abusing… it’s a sad sight and most the time, the people who are addicted don’t realize the stress and pain that they are causing to the people around them
Honestly seen every addiction and by far heroin. I’ve seen peoples legs rotting peeling flesh and they’re trying to find a vein in that same leg to shoot up in
It’s interesting. I have two addicts in my life, one heroin/fentanyl and the other is an alcoholic. I’ve gone to Al Anon meetings and I’ve gone to Nar Anon meetings. The Nar Anon meetings have a sadness to them. People are scared, sad. The Al Anon meetings have A LOT of angry people.
So I would say alcohol is one of the worst. Just in terms of the havoc it reeks on other people’s lives, not just the addicts.

Any addiction really no one person is the same and deals with things in different ways
Heroin is the one I think first, but tbh it’s gotta be gambling. To me that’s the scariest.
Sometimes hear me out “hate“
Alcohol.

I would think food because you literally HAVE to eat to survive, so you’re constantly fighting the addiction if you care to manage it
Nicotine (Only for people with bad ADHD but it isn’t really that addicting for people without ADHD/Autism) as someone with ADHD and high functioning (AKA Mild) Autism, that shit feels so agonizing especially with withdrawal.
Drugs probably. it spirals down even worse than gambling I feel as it not only affects you financially but physically.
Being addicted to having sex with grizzly bears.
To a person
Drinking and smoking. Alters who you really are.

Addicted to living on autopilot
Meth, heroin, crack. Needles. Chaos. Risky women. Procrastination.
Gambling
breath holding
Obsessed with finding a partner thinking it will make them happy.
Alcohol is really bad. It’s so accessible and one of the few withdrawals that can kill you
Food. You literally can’t live without it.
Every addiction can be deadly, so I guess an active addiction is the worst.

You’re looking at it. Specifically, you’re probably looking at Reddit on it.

Narcissism
Self harming.
Gambling……………
In some cultures it is A-OK to kill someone who cannot pay back a debt.

Believing they are not in control and using words like addiction as a crutch.
Difficult to stop is not impossible, “you” merely have a weak mind and no discipline.

Being addicted to another person only for them to break your heart 5x over.
porn, fent, any person
i have an exercise addiction mixed with ocd. it sounds not bad but its ruining my life…
Gambling, drugs, alcohol, self harm….any
Being addicted to you, seems cute at first but nobody wants someone that can live without you.
I’d say Gambling, it won’t just harm you physically, it messes with you financially, emotionally and mentally
Needing approval to feel real.
Whatever one you currently have that’s holding you back in life.
Anorexia and gambling
sex
Toxic Ex
Drugs. Duh.
The answer is food. Why? Every other addiction that exists is not dependant for survival.
Realistically, you can’t not eat food. So even whilst recovering, you’re always feeding the addiction whilst simultaneously recovering from it.
