    I think my dad may be addicted to pot. But maybe it really is the only thing that helps his depression.

    And now I know just how important that is, so I can't imagine bringing these concerns up to him.

    my parents came out here and took me out to dinner last night (it was great!)

    on the way there, my mom made me promise i wouldn't pick up a cigarette habit because "you dress like a hipster now and i know how they are"

    don't worry, mom

    I'm addicted to food, and mainly sugar. I drink diet soda, which is probably the only thing keeping my weight stable (albeit high.)

    Many people think food can't be addictive. This is false on a physiological level. The reason humans and really all animals survive is when they eat, the pleasure portion of their brain is tickled, and if it is tickled too often, it becomes resistant to tickling, and it takes more food than normal to tickle it like a normal person.

    Many people also think food is an easy addiction to kick. There are practically no other addictions where you have to still avail yourself of them 2 to 3 times a day. It's like telling someone who is quitting smoking "Okay, now just smoke three cigarettes every day for the rest of your life." The first thing he's going to do is want more cigarettes. (I'm not belittling cigarette addicts or saying it's easier to quit.)

    I sometimes think if I just had a feeding tube so I never had to buy or look at food again, I could quit the habit much more easily and add some years to my life.

    i love food a lot. i'd hate to realise i have an eating problem and have to adjust my habits, because flag that, eating is awesome

    that said i don't have a sweet tooth at all, so it's a lot easier to eat all the good stuff i want and not be overly unhealthy

    I'm currently working on the whole nailbiting thing (again). I'm hoping it sticks this time - I've been promised a lovely men's manicure if I manage to grow them to the point that I could have one. Next will be weight loss I suppose.

    I've always wanted to try smoking weed as a vice - it seems like something that would benefit me as I never feel creative like I did when I was younger and have a hard time destress-ing at times.

    All my jeans apart from my work ones are skinny jeans. What is wrong with them?


    Also, I used to bite my nails all the time, and stopped several times. But I haven't bitten them since the beginning of September, the longest I haven't bitten them for. Go me.

    Exactly. I stop every so often, just to make sure I still can, but it's like a vital part of my day is missing.

    I don't get irritable, really. I don't get super withdrawal-pissy. I don't get shaky or nauseated or suffer any physical effects. I just miss it. Like when I go too long without good sushi or fantastic sex or seeing a good friend, but times 100. I'm definitely addicted, don't get me wrong, but it's more in my mind than in my body.

    Once again: smoking right now.

    Also, for those of you who read the injury thread, I was on some pretty stellar opiate painkillers for about a week. I wouldn't let myself ever be on them as a constant, but boy did THAT bring back some memories.

    That I would like to relive over and over and over again.

    But it would probably kill me, so the "over and overs" wouldn't be that many.

    I did beat nailbiting! It's almost a mixed blessing. It seems like I'm cutting and scraping things and breaking my nails more often than I actually needed the darn things when I didn't have them. In some games, to reach the shift key, I have to use my left pinky, which has a ridiculously long nail. I often find myself biting that nail to wear it down enough so I can properly push the key. My most commonly used keys also have nail indentations in them. (I type with only 3 fingers, but pretty fast still)

    All that said, it's nice to not have painful, bloody, exposed quick anymore.

    Just sounds like an extended family household. They are relatively common in other parts of the world and even considered ideal. Yeah it can get annoying though, having done that for 3 years (plus my uncles lived there too). The place just feels physically too small for that many people.

    I used to do mushrooms quite a bit.

    I stopped a few years ago after I became unable to have a "good trip".
