I think I have an addiction to food....I am an emotional eater. I started overeating to "protect" myself from guys harassing me. So I ate to become unattractive to men. (not a conscious act)
I'm addicted to caffeine for the buzz I get from it. It started out because I needed it to wake up, which I still do, but it gives me a happy feeling I have become addicted to.

What am I addicted to?... well I dont really have a chemical dependancy issue.... but I guess that you could say that I am addicted to dieting. I mean this in the sence that I have tried just about every kind of diet available. But yet nothing is good enough... mostly now I just restrict my food intake severely. I know I am ill as I know that this isnt healthy... but I cannot stop... at least not on my own.
The real reason behind this addiction is that it is my way of dealing with things that I dont know how to deal with. I have tried numerous things in coping but they just dont work... so I always go back to dieting or starving.... its a vicious cycle.

I was once addicted to cigarettes - reason > nicotine.
The day I realized I was addicted , I became soooo furious that some inanimate , no brain substance had power over me . . . that I shredded 1/2 a carton.
The anger cured me cold turkey . . . saved me a fortune too as I noticed someone paying $4 for a pack last week (ridiculous , that's almost $1500 a year which equals a nice 2 week stay in the Caribbean !)

cigarretes.Nicotine is really addictive and in a stressful sitiuation you can smoke a cigarette and get away.Heres another thing much as I love myself I have always been a rebel and a bit self destructive so maybe thats part of it.Im buying niccorette on my next payday. I want to know why are resources for addicts of all kinds so exspensive? Im addicted to other things too throughout the years. Food and zanax.

Probably alcohol - not severely but enough to rely on it sometimes. I think the real reasons are:
1) I feel more confident, social and relaxed
2) I don't "worry" so much when I drink
3) It replaces my problems with positive feelings- if only for a while.
The problem is it feels crappy when it goes away- that's why I work out as well.

Cigarettes (because they help me feel better, oddly enough)
Coffee (it's the only drink I really like)
Food (it's always been there for me)
