okay, i dont have the normal drinking/smoking addiction. I have an eating/chewing addiction. I dont even know if there is medication to solve this, or if its really even concidered a problem. I chew (and sometimes eat) pens, pencils, bracelets, necklaces, crayons, play dough, paper, erasers plastic.. pretty much anything!!! I eat also small beads, fingernails and even my hair (which wont grow anymore, because once its grows, i chew it up). i want to stop. its nasty and its so childish. its not like im hungrey all the time, i just do it, when ever i see somthing, i just put it in my mouth. please help, anyhting!!!!

This probably is a stress re-leaser. It does have a name what you do. Pica comes to mind I am not 100% sure. You need to get into therapy asap. Call your doctor tomorrow to get the name of someone too see...I know Wille Prada I think thats it where you eat all the time and never feel full. But I think thats food related. None the less you are in deep trouble you need help NOW!!!!!!!!!11

Yes, there are many types of addictions. I cannot explain them all to you because I am not qualified nor am I aware of what it is called. You may want to research under addiction disorders. Also you may consider speaking with your doctor or a therapist. It sounds as if you might become physically ill as well as having the disorder.

i think you should chew gum all the time so you have something in your mouth n you don't feel like chewing something like a pen or whatever which is really bad for your teeth. Try stride it last really long.

i used to have the same problem in a way...i'd chew on the side of my mouth. every time i started to, i make myself stop and interested myself in other things. for you, i'd just carry around a pack of gum everywhere, or if you wanna break the habbit with your pens/pencils/etc. put hot sauce or jalapeno juice on them. that would sure make me stop :p

Sounds like OCD.
Go see a doctor.
There are medications for it. You might also want to try hypnosis.

It sounds like you have OCD (obsessive compulsive behavior). I would talk to your parents about get therapy for it. I don't know that they have drugs, but there are ways of working through it.
