Addictive personalities

Impulsive buying and alcohol are my worse vices.

Also, eating foods I shouldn't: :raises hand:

Then feeling goddamn awful and guilty after. It is hugely an impulse control issue, osit.
That combined with dissociation and narcissism, it easily gets terribly out of hand.

I look forward to a time when awareness lets me know different

Addictive personality is one of my main traits in my diagnosis of BPD.
Anything and everything from substance abuse, casual sex, shoplifting random crap I don't end up using is also a big problem for me, smoking weed almost becomes a necessity, obsessions of subjects/reading, knowledge,writing, drawing, but wanting it all done at once, and often dropping subjects/bands etc from overdoing it with particular interests, always having to fixate on something. Impulse behaviors are the bane of my life in general. Shoplifting manic sprees have got me arrested in the past, over spending is a nightmare. Despite my awareness of my budget, if I want something or really like something, it almost becomes a 'need' I can't even live without. I've come home unannounced with a 5ft snake and everything due to the compulsion and search for salvation in any ways or means.
So yeah, I'd say it's common in one form or another for a lot of us. Unfortunately I'm really struggling to get a grip on my spending sprees and misuse of prescribed anxiety drugs. As long as you try, you haven't failed no matter how much I feel that.
