And F twitter, only a few moths into that, just signed up. I have to hopefully get banned soon.

I hate that website but I keep using it.

Cocaine addiction is classified more as a psychological addiction rather than a physical addiction. I know that logical addiction is much harder for one to control compared to a physical addiction.

I have a friend that claims to have a non addictive type personality, shows all the traits associated with that and has even been told bye a psychologist that my friend does indeed show all the characteristics of having a non addictive personality.

Apparently my team think I'm dependant on alcohol bc it makes me feel better. I drink maybe twice a week but was refused help before bc of it. They said I didn't have enough routine. Anyway, alcohol actually cheers me up son I don't drink that much so I don't think it's an addiction x

Hello.
I hope this is the right forum for this. I have an addiction to news and politics which is out of control. It may seem a trivial problem compared to some others but it's a big problem for me.
Every morning when I get up I go on my computer and check various news sites/newsletters concerning news/current affairs and politics. I read a couple of newspapers online which I have subscribed too.

Been addicted to cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, porn, masturbation and of course food.

The food addiction for me was out of boredom.

Anyway, many years ago I had a friend (heroin addict) and I'll always remember his words "everything in moderation". Whether he said this to justify his own addiction or whether it was genuine words of advice doesn't really matter because I listened, remembered and utilised this into my own ...

I was living a happy life with my family for years until the last 2 years. I've had problems dealing with emotional, psychological and life doesn't seem to be turning out good for me. I'm not suicidal though but I get depressed.
During those times I met someone that introduced me to this product called CBD. It helped me a lot during the hard times but now I'd like to stop using it. **Supplier link ...

Hello. My therapist agrees that I have a food addiction but my family does not believe me and they say that it’s just in my head and I’m making myself believe that. I binge eat junk food almost everyday and food is the only thing that makes me happy. Once I start eating I don’t stop and no matter how full I am I will continue eating. I sometimes throw up when I’m feeling full ...
