Lip balm. Also oxygen. Can’t go 5 minutes without a fix.
Hello, my name is ___ and I’m addicted to caffeine. I’m also a recovering self-harm addict (yes, it’s a real thing).
I never plan on giving up caffeine. I don’t smoke, rarely drink, and don’t drink soda or eat fast food. It’s my one vice and, damnit, I’m keeping it. When I go without drinking an energy drink for a few days I get migraines so bad I throw up. I used to drink 2 large Monsters a day, but now I’m down to 1. I have a heart murmur, so I’m not really supposed to have a lot of caffeine; but it hasn’t hurt me so far. Doctor says I’m healthy. Family always gives me crap about it because they’re health nuts.
Shoes. Not to Imelda levels, but bad enough that I’m out of storage space for them. I need to have a serious talk with myself about a) thinning the herd, and b) not adding to it anytime in the near future.
Coffee, reading, and the Internet.
Reading, coffee, wine…animals? I don’t collect critters, but I get antsy when we’re on vacation and far away from the dog and cat. After a day or two, I NEED TO PET SOMETHING. 
Reading, binge watching TV series, alcohol, weed.
Oh, yes, Dung Beetle, me too on the animals. When I’m away from the cats I keep thinking I see a cat out of the corner of my eye.
And, my DH says he can’t believe I admitted to some addictions without mentioning yarn and knitting. Um. Yeah. There’s a term: Stash Acquisition Beyond Life Expectancy, or SABLE. I have SABLE.
Peanut butter M & Ms. Good coffee. Cheese, glorious cheese.
Maybe not addiction but definitely a compulsion.
Every night before falling asleep I HAVE TO PLAY at least one game of Sudoku on my IPAD and one game of Solitaire.
Then, when I wake up in the morning I have to do the same. On weekends I may actually lay in bed for an hour or more in the morning and play multiple games.
Hello, My name is shunpiker and I’m addicted to gasoline.
I love internal combustion engines and enjoy the thrill they offer. I just can’t get enough of the suck, squish, bang and blow. I often find myself tearing my flat-track bike around in *circles *or my DR350 along quite-familiar trails just to burn the sweet juice. Should I mention the chain saw…? That’s like free-basing.
Oh, and I’m a bit of a voyeur… I enjoy watching other people burn the stuff, too. Especially in their MotoGP bikes and Formula One cars. I also dabble in oil, but my real vice is that sweetly refined petrol. Even when responsibility calls, I still find time for an occasional fix. One could say that the ~500,000 gasoline explosions as the soundtrack to my daily commute are cathartic, in a way. Well you could say that if I wasn’t addicted.
Oh, and sodas/soft-drinks. But I’m doing better with that one.
I’m with ya there!
My own subset of this, alas, is comic books. I’m a Marvel Zombie and a DC Dinosaur. And tons of titles from other publishers too. Pour me another Red Sonja with a twist of Hellboy. Gotta have comic books.
Damn, they’re expensive. And they go by so quickly. A good novel can last for a couple, maybe three days. A comic book slurps past in five minutes…
(I call it an addiction because I really would like to quit, or at least cut back… But it never happens…)
'ello. My name is…oh. Not anymore.
The Great Sun Jester is addicted to Skyrim and cooking. Not eating so much (ulcers and loads of self-loathing), just the cooking part. I totally get off on people getting off on my alfredo, or chili, or toffee, or enchiladas or muffins, or…this weekend I’m teaching myself hollandaise. Oddly, I don’t cook in Skyrim.
Video games, reading, and written porn.
“Written porn,” interesting. Like what? Just curious. I mostly watch it. I haven’t read any since the 70s when I was a teen and would sneak my father’s Penthouse mags.
Had to check the definition: “Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you.”
So that’s a pretty wide definition as I don’t have any control of going to work or breathing.
As to the OP’s definition, I’d say I’m addicted to nothing except nicotine. I regularly enjoy wine, movies, cooking, reading and sleeping. But I can do without them all, except sleep, for lengthy periods and just feel a bit miserable.
Curious too! I’d love a good source of written (text) porn. The visual stuff is easy to find, but I don’t know where to find good (at least halfway intelligent) text pr0n.
A lot of people extend it to a behavior which the individual wants to stop doing, but can’t seem to manage actually to quit. It doesn’t have to be harmful: just being uncomfortable is enough.
I know people who can’t stop biting their fingernails. They want to stop. They hate it. But they can’t bring themselves to stop.
I would call that an addiction, even though it isn’t harmful.
Internet.
Watching netflix, chatting in forums about anything to blow off my boredom, chatting about weight loss to keep myself motivated. Pretty much chatting all day long to keep myself occupied.
Hello David here and my addiction is dark chocolate.
Three times in my adult life I have given up alcohol for a year. The longest I seem to get with dark chocolate is a week or so.
No one?
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, and I’m addicted to avenging my father’s death.
Having given up prescription uppers & downers, cigarettes and alcohol, the only addiction I have left is coffee.
I am NOT giving it up.
