Sugar. I'm a bit surprised how addicted I am to the stuff in the first place. I feel really bad if I don't have a bit of sugar everyday.
 
Cigs - the most fucking addicting shits ever. Most of the time I'm not even sure why I smoke, but my body just tells me its time for a cig, its scary. (going about half to a pack a day...)
Weed - Not exactly addicted, but hitting a bowl after a long day at work is heavenly. Not really terrible for my health (realitively), but it does make me lazy at night. Also, makes me smoke more as smoking cigs while high is amazing.
 
woaaah, so I'm not the only one. Do you think its possible to get poisoning from this?

Maybe if you eat it or something, but I think you should be doing fine. I've been using chapstick since I was around 8 or so, so if 15 years of it didn't kill me or make me sick, I don't think it ever will.

Part of my obsession with it comes from being a french horn player in an orchestra though. Nothing like chapstick on the chops after a long rehearsal. Outside of that stuff I always have it on too though, and completely panic if I go out and don't have a tube of chapstick with me at all times. Like, not always having it with me practically gives me anxiety.

Buying underwear.

I've been spending an average of $100 a day on them for a good while now (all bought online), and many many hours spent every time bargain hunting and seeking the rare/out of production models I'm after. I don't even know how much the total damage has been, probably in the neighborhood of $5000 in the last 6 months.

On the positive side I'm not in debt, but my poor savings have taken a heavy blow.

I woke up feeling sick and disgusted about it today, reading this thread has been therapeutic. Thanks GAF.
 
Diet Coke.

I would love to think that I am doing everything else properly though. Daily yoga, workout with weights, occasional endurance training, drinking 4l+ water daily (pure, non-bubble!), meditations, stretchings, no stress and no angry thoughts. Will see where this gets me in the long run.

But of course I am working on slowing the intake :D It was 2l daily a few years ago, then I realized how much sugar that is, now it was 2l diet daily, and now I got it down to around 1l per day. Would love to do it only one or two bottle a day (0.5l). It is doable.

We demand (more) pics in that underwear :3

Try to view it from the bright side - at least your snake will never have to be naked again.
 
Good (but expensive) beer and smoking shisha. I've toned down on the latter a lot, but the former I just can't resist. I'm rather irresponsible with my money when it comes to beer.
 
GAF, White-Ra stream, internet in general, LEGO... yeah. Guess that's it :)

I also was pretty badly addicted to soda, but have recently (thanks partially to GAF) kicked the habit.

That's the plan! Haha. I console myself saying that it's an investment in my upcoming erotic photography project.* But I have to overcome my procrastination and ADHD if I hope to bring that to fruition.

And they probably have more resale value than video games and movies, which I have stopped collecting. Considering that a huge part of my underwear collection is unused or unopened.
 
It's kind of strange for me reading so many people say weed. It's one thing I never got addicted to, and I've had a constant and free supply of high quality weed for years now. I always have a stash, haven't been "dry" not once in years, but I only indulge in it once a week maybe, and often forget to even do that.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love weed and it's one of my favorite things in life and I'd be very sad to give it up. But it's never been even remotely close to being an addiction for me, and I don't think it can ever be.
 
Maker's Mark
Videogames
Smoking
Red meat
Rochefort Trappist Ale 10
Women
Weed
Coffee
Adderall
Breathing
Ladies

Not that all of these things are really addicting, but yeah. I barely ever eat fast food though!!! Maybe once a month if that. Same with sweets! *pats self on back*
 
Tuna, apparently

I eat a ton of the stuff every week, like 1kg, and probably have mercury poisoning by now
 
Games

But for a wierd one...

Mints. If I get a mentos, tic tacs, a pack of gum, ice breakers etc. I will eat that shit so fast. I can't fathom how people can eat 2 tic tacs and put the pack away.

I fear I have an addictive personality... makes me scared to try cigarettes.
 
Food
More specifically, sugary food
My body tends to keep itself in relatively decent shape even though I eat like crap and never exercise. I need to stop relying on that and start eating better and exercising for real.

Porn.
Eh... not too worried about this one. I can control it for the most part.

Technology
I use my phone everywhere I can (I'm taking a shit as I type this up on my Nexus) and I really need to be less dependent on technology in general. I feel like I would be incredibly bored if the internet were to disappear, for example.
 
Percocet / opiates in general

Been on opiates daily for the last 5 years. Today is my first 24 hours clean. Hurts like a bitch and I'd kill a man with my bare hands for a quarter of a vicodin right now.
 
The internet, I get stuck reading and watching stuff there instead of doing something productive or even having fun. Hours go by and I go "DAMN, could have used that time for my homework and ended with playing some games, but instead all I did was read useless junk on GAF, listen to music I had already heard and watching videos I had already seen".

Forcing myself to stop surfing now :P
 
Sugary foods/drinks - I've gotten to a point where I can be like "no koolaid or soda. i'll just drink water today." or "no candy or dessert this week" but never both.
 
NeoGaf... I have wasted so many hours here. I could have done so many other productive and healthy things with that time. Like work out.

I am addicted to microwavable popcorn too.
