I could say "I'm addicted to sex" but it isn't doing me any harm, it isn't something I've ever tried to stop, I don't feel guilty about it, and it's actually good for me. I just can't live without it. But, that isn't necessarily an addiction.
I love to shop..... but I can stop anytime I want to.
I do have a little bit of a problem with the endorphins I get from capsaicin. Usually it's not too bad, just a little habanero salsa to take the edge off but there have been batches of callalloo made with scotch bonnet peppers that literally had me laying on the floor sweating for an hour... and I still ate the leftovers. It might not be quite an addiction, but, um, I really shouldn't have eaten something that incapacitated me *twice*.

I've also known drug addicts that didn't want to quit who were definitely addicted.
Yeah, liking sex and being addicted are two different things!

But, the DSM definition of an "addiction" includes harm coming to the person with use, and continuing to use despite said harm, and feelings that one needs to stop but can't. Most drug, alcohol and even tobacco addicts may enjoy the high, but do want to stop the addictive behavior.
I know my husband smokes and says he doesn't care, but he would LOVE to be able to go days without having to spend a great deal of money on cigarettes, to not have to smoke if he doesn't want to (no one likes having a Nic Fit) and most have tried to stop, no matter how lack luster their attempt is.

Then I guess I am addicted to some things, but not nicotine if you have to want to stop for it to be an addiction. I don't mind the nic fits too much since I can vape inside. I don't have to make special trips like I did when I smoked. I just take a hit or two and I'm fine for ten minutes or so. If I'm going somewhere I can't vape I bring nicotine gum. I work around it. *shrug*
Most drug addicts I know DO want to quit but I have known a rare one that's happy to be on drugs forever despite any harm coming to them. What would be the term for doing something harmful and physically addictive but not wanting to stop doing said activity?

Is this the same as the prescription Nicotine Inhaler? I know my daughter tried it and it didn't work for her. She was able to quit on her own, damn that girl has will. And she quit smoking while she was losing weight!
You can make callalloo without scotch bonnets and it's really delicious.
Though, of course, if you ask endorphin-high Antipova, it's still really delicious *with* the scotch bonnets... but after-the-crash Antipova's going to tell you to stick with something calmer instead.

This is where I get supplies from and this is where I get liquid from. There's a forum somewhere but I don't have a link. If you google e cigarette forum or something like that it should come up.
It's not the same as a prescription from what I understand. I've never had the inhaler but the vaporizer is meant to actually simulate smoking where the inhaler is like an asthma inhaler from what people have told me. I don't think I'd like that. Plus the blow out of vapor is satisfying.
If he wants one, I have the Joye Ego and it works great. I'd recommend that one. I've been on mine for over a year now. Just the smell of smoke makes me gag now. Don't know how I did it all those years. Love my nicotine though!

Antipova - I must not have eaten spicy enough things because I've never gotten an endorphin rush from food before...
I somehow forgot caffeine. Don't know how that one slipped my mind.
