What's your addiction?

Generally nothing, but sometimes I can get seriously addicted to games. It doesn't last more than a week or so at the most, but I mean it's so bad I can't even work. I have to like force myself to play the game 24/7 until I get sick of it so I can go back to work. lol
 
hot boys are my addiction.
 
I have fluctuating addictions. My brain isn't really equipped to fixate on one thing for a long period of time. Often, I'm constantly shifting from one obsession to the next over the course of several weeks. It's because I have a tendency to get bored easily of repetition. Very very easily. Pokemon is a great example of this, because I've been getting disinterested and re-interested in it over the years.

One thing I suppose I'm kind of consistently addicted to is checking the internet. Even though I don't really have any friends I communicate with anymore, and am not interested in most of the forums I post in excessively. I think it's a remnant of my past where I was once an internet social butterfly. And the other part is that I hope somebody talks to me and becomes my friend instantly or says something nice to me. But I always get disappointed, so this has been dying down lately.
 
Freaking pizza. And checking the internet. And while binge-watching something, all of my free time is utterly compromised until I run out of episodes and am "freed" from it. Also, if something or someone is in the front of my mind I almost can't not insert it/them into general conversation regardless of relevance. I have almost a talent for connecting things to an obsession if I have one at the time. This is less of a thing now, but in the past, hooo boy!

This is exactly how I am with games, and only play one at a time, switching every few weeks/months or so. I play 'em really really hard and burn myself out, then onto the next one.
 
Cake.
Cake has always been my addiction and always will be
 
I have two three.

- PokeCommunity
- Cigarettes
- Sleeping, which I don't get to do much of anymore aside from on the weekends. But who wants to sleep the whole weekend away?​
 
Music. I have my playlists, radio stations and albums playing all day, whether if I'm breeding/hunting for shinies, browsing the web, reading books or doing homework.

Reddit is also pretty dang addicting, always refreshing /r/all or my favorite subreddit's "new" tab.

And water. I swear I refill my canteen every 15 minutes.

This is definitely me in a nutshell. I find myself going back to old internet forums that I used to be extremely active in when I was like 10 to hopefully "relive" the good times, which doesn't really happen.

I'm really addicted to Reddit. I'm constantly checking r/hockey and other subreddits all the time to find out something new. It's kind of a problem, but I'm actually pretty impressed that I've been able to actually be continuously active on a website nowadays. On most I tend to join for a couple days and just vanish. I can only think of one forum that I've been consistently active in for a few years.

I'm also pretty addicted to GM Mode in the NHL games. I find myself consistently making new ones for no real reason. It's damn fun, but eats up a lot of time and can get kind of repetitive if you're not having fun with it.

I also tend to get addicted to random shows for weeks at a time and I'll rewatch tons of episodes. I'm not really sure why.
 
I don't have any addictions right now, but I did have one moment where root beer was one thing I cannot stop getting hold of. It was all becuase of that trip to Ayers Rock. I finally got out of it in September.
 
TV. If we pause comedy for five seconds then I die inside. xD As soon as it turns into comedy time I jump at the opportunity to put something on the telly. :D

When we take long breaks between comedy I get in a really bad mood, lmao.
 
Addictions, uhh, list.

1. D&D - The love of my life ever since the day I first started playing.

2. Magic The Gathering - A new addiction, I have spent well over $100 in cards these past two months. I have an affinity for TCGs, I used to spend thousands on Yu-Gi-Oh until I realized it wasn't profitable, then I spent a couple hundred on Pokemon until I realized it wasn't profitable, and now I collect MTG because it actually is profitable.

3. Music - I have to listen to music whenever I go to sleep, I have to listen to at least 2 full albums each day, and I just can't sleep unless I listen to a certain amount of music in general each day.

4. Internet - A given, I spend most of my time on the internet, pretty much if I'm not doing 1,2,3, or working I'm on the internet.
 
My only addiction is the internet right now. I quit smoking three months ago, so I'm left with this one only.
