Yeah, it should. I'm on the internet about 19 out of 24 hours a day...so I should have been able to remember that one!

Sex and internet. Sex does kind of hurt me because after Iv had my fun I get kind of a sexual hangover afterwards. Internet is not so much a problem unless I don't have access for long periods of time.

Okay, if there really should be a better word than addiction to describe an impulse or compulsion that doesn't do you harm and you don't want to stop...

Anyway, my vices are sex, gambling, and caffeine. I've got a good handle on the gambling thing, I only gamble on good odds now, and the other two aren't doing me any harm.

I'm actually like that with flaming hot cheetos.

I think I can safely say I've been addicted to them since they came out. I was in the 5th grade. I'm 23 now... Sometimes I get such a horrible craving for them that I just... can't stand to be around myself.

AndroAngel made a good point: "Okay, if there really should be a better word than addiction to describe an impulse or compulsion that doesn't do you harm and you don't want to stop"

Yes, they are called hobbies.

I totally get caught up in stress, once I get going I have to be snapped out of it. It is my worse addiction. I hate it. lol.

You left off reading (which when I get into a book I completely get lost) and video games.

Camel's and possible... maybe... just a tiny bit addicted to Dr. Pepper. I love coffee and drink it regularly, but am not addicted. I've been trying to quit smoking and even tried several different E-cigs, but had real trouble getting them to last very long at all and that got to be super expensive.

Clearly, at least here at EF, the average (non scientific/stastically significant) person, has 2 or more "addictions".

I wonder how this compares to other populations....

I suppose sex could be harmful, if you want it badly enough to take it without permission, though. Sex addicts also have habits of cheating and not holding long-term relationships. Anyone seen "Six Feet Under"? I know people who actually have sex addiction, and the way Brenda was later on before things were worked out, that is a good EXAMPLE of what it's like. Plus, you have addicts who take it, like I said, without permission.

As for me, I am addicted to food. Not the good kind, either. It's a wonder I am not 1,000lbs!

Addicted to Eden, for sure! I love smoking but I am not addicted. I can easily go without for months or years at a time if needed or I want to. Caffeine, I'm addicted to for sure.

I get headspin and grouchy and very sick eventually when I stop eating. So I am working on not doing that any more.

Um. Other things...

Honestly my biggest addiction is anything I find fascinating. Mental stimulation, I guess. It's the thought equivalent of a big shiny sparkly, and I just want to watch it turn and turn and turn in the light.

nothing. I love sex, but it does not run my life. But that would be the closest.
