News of Addictions

A month ago my internet boyfriend of 18 months dumped me for another girl. The pain is very real, i cant eat or sleep or function normally but im trying. I told myself ill refrain from any sort of interaction with people online for atleast some time after that. Within 2-3 weeks i couldnt bear it so i got in contact with an old friend ive known since three years who went through a similar ...

I don't know why but I started having sexual chat with some men.
I know it's just wasting my time, but I can't stop.
I get excited. I want to explore sexual pleasure, but I don't have appropriate
place to do it. I do not have anyone whom I feel emotional connections.
What I do at night is go online and chat with men...
I don't feel good about myself doing that...

I get up in mornings; I used to start my days with gin or vodka. Now I don't drink as I used to, but I start my days with three or four big pieces of cake with whip cream. It is very difficult to get going without sugary food in mornings. I feel dizzy and strong headache. When I intake sugar, I feel energy and I can start my days.

I went to a supermarket, ...

I realize I have a heavy media/internet addiction. I am 31 years of age and have become reliant upon internet to socialize, date, entertain, do volunteer work and I even tried getting a job on internet. Now I want to connect this to my past, because my heavy use of pc is since the past 17-ish years and I have probably misused media since I was about 10-12 (I watched a couple of hours tv ...

Coming to terms w the idea that this is a lifelong battle and to succeed I will have to be diligent about it every day for the rest of my life. It's so overwhelming. I think it would be so much more doable if there was some end point, like X number of days, weeks, months of abstinence would result in a cure. I know this is what the "one day at a time" thing ...

My language is terrible, I like swearing when typing so I apologise...

I bought over the counter co-codamol - I had always thought the OTC stuff was weaker than what I found out.

I had gone into the supermarket to pick up my script for citalopram and remembered I needed paracetamol - I get sinus pain due to an ongoing infection and also pain from endometriosis. Anyway, I picked up the paracetamol then went to ...

I am just a bit stuck at the moment...

I have stopped taking drugs completely...but I am counting days. I have attended two groups sessions...and the group leader said that: "it shouldn't be a prison sentence...that you shouldn't count days of being clean...you should cut down drugs slowly and expect relapse...that being clean is not the main focus of your life"
...this upset me a little bit because this is what my life has become ...

I tried erythritol, but it doesn't satisfy me. I think I am addicted to white sugar, and I feel so good with white sugar, and the combination of white sugar, white flour, egg et cetera. I know that I am addicted, and addiction is problematic. White sugar, white flour and egg are not good for my health. I feel it is impossible to stop eating them, but I want to stay away from unhealthy food. ...

This may trigger, as in, piss people off as I am saying addiction is NOT a disease...

I am an addict through and through. I'm a drinker, a drug user (both street and prescription), gambling, eating disorder (I see food as an addiction for me)...I smoke 20 a day. I'm *trying* to stay sober and clean. I haven't been wankered (really ######6 drunk) in months now and I haven't used any drugs since Easter, when ...

Hey all! I'm new here and I believe you could give me some advice! :( I don't even know where to start but I will come right out and say it that I'm addicted to good. The past month has been a horrible every other night restrict/binge cycle. Starting back in December, I started a diet that was extremely restrictive and lost about 30 pounds, put 5-7 ...
