Addiciton

[Trabaho]

Let´s talk about some light addiciton, not hard stuff. So only the legal and I guess pot. So alc included.
I am addicted to coffe, drink 2-3 a day, if I´m having a long day at work and didn´t sleep I might have like 5-6 light esspressos.
Nicotine, I´m vaping and using 0.5% nicotine. And yes addicted. Started smoking really late, out of a innocent like give me a cigarette into full blown smoker. Before that I thought it was stupid, like how can peple be smokers. Looking to down it to 0.25% next. However today can´t find my vape pen and bough regular ones which are 2% nicotine. The smoke habbit creeped up on me, underestimating it. Thinking I will drop it all the time, denial, till I realized I´m a smoker now. But I will stop it cause I don´t love it, I just hate to shake it off too sudden.
Also taking some medicaiton for like 10 years, I´m down to the lowest dose, eventually gonna drop it entirely. It does affect my liver a little.
That´s it. Stopped pot and don´t really drink any alc anymore. Never was hooked on alcohol just sometimes binge drinking in my 20ies. Now like 5 beers can give me a solid buzz. But that´like 2-3 a year. Sugar cocoa - probably to a good degree, I eat it almost every day, ever sice early childhood, it did make my gain a lot of weight.

It's only an addiction if you are trying to quit or willing to admit it is fucking up your life.

And as such I have no addictions, just things I really enjoy doing... and fuck off and mind your business if you don't like it!!

Happens in most cases without realizing it, environment pushes them big time.

No one has immunity to any addiction quietly latching on any life with voids.

I'm addicted to violent literature i guess.

I'm addicted to good shoops. Any time I see a thread with something on Sherdog to shoop, I just can't help but to release the silly in me.

My face when I see such an opportunity.......

I probably have a shopping addiction but who cares. It’s fun lmao. Money comes, money goes, money comes back again. No real damage I think.

I love Diet Coke. I got off it for awhile but recently got into it once again. Needing a drink of it every day.

And then there’s cutting/self harm. Not sure if that’s “light” addiction or not. It’s kinda gross. I don’t have the stomach for it anymore but keep doing it anyways. And I get buzzed off of the feeling.

Anecdotally, I've heard it's not too difficult to quit vapes.

The trick is to stop and have a deep breath. Apparently the mindfulness, and the pause of the deep breath is one of the things your body gets used to.

I drink like a pot of coffee everyday and smoke too many cigars. Those are really my only vices.

I drink but only on weekends (and holidays) I drink coffee but get zero withdrawal symptoms if I don't drink for a while... I guess the only real additions are exercise and sherdog?

I'm fine with those.

I was just watching this YT video of professional skateboarder Neen Williams. In it he talks about his decision to put down the alcohol in order to prolong his skating career. Good video.



The part where he talks about feeling like shit for four days (from partying), then when finally feeling better always seeing it as an opportunity to repeat the cycle by getting fucked up again, really hit home for me. That was a cycle I ran for a while.

But I can't do the heavy nights/long days drinking anymore (early 40s) without being shot for multiple days afterwards; it's horrendously unproductive. It's just been difficult giving up the fast life, especially while being single. Old habits die hard.

My substance abuse has been mainly a product of poor psychological dispositions. Depression, anxiety, overcharge, shyness, etc...But I've made some very significant improvements, despite the struggle, so things are looking pretty damn good. Best wishes to any sherbro/shergal fighting the good fight.

I dabbed in most of the major baddies - opioids apart, just had some codein. In the end the two substances that bugs me are both legal and can kill you if you overdo them and quit cold turkey : alcohol & benzos. Makes you think a bit

Otherwise women are quite the strong stuff. Awesome highs, bad lows and always want some more ...

Been there. Gotta rebuild slowly overtime by having integrity.
