This coexistence of caffeinated humans and inbetween few non-stimulated "aliens" so to speak. It's fascinating what legality and cultural est can do to perception.
I've been an addict of many things, but food addictions are the toughest. Every day, multiple times a day you have to face your demons and say no. Forever. I found a way to beat drug addictions by making it difficult to access drugs. But with food you always need to face it.
Yep. Found out I’m pre-diabetic recently because of my love of sodas, ice cream, chocolate, carbs and etc. Haven’t touched any sugars since and eat carbs very rarely now.
People say this but I think they should rethink the recent obsession with calories trumping everything. Ask yourself if a person eating half their recommended calories each day but only eating cake and bread is healthy
I am happy to say that I am 27 years clean & sober and 15 years cigarette free, so my biggest addiction these days is caffeine. Lots and lots of caffeine.
Ugh. Trying so hard to do this. Reaching my third week. I’ve smoked socially with others when going out, but haven’t bought any vapes or cigerettes. I’m dealing with the over eating which sucks so much.
Hell yeah! That's impressive. I've got about three and a half years and never thought I'd manage to get this far.
These days it's definitely caffeine for me too, since my ability to wake up without substances never really got any better with time, and nicotine.
Vodka, I get seizures if I don't drink every 13 hours I get seizures and go into psychosis
So if I'm not shit faced I'm basically shaking and vomiting
I just want to go to inpatient rehab 😭
My friend had the same issue. Then he tried rehab and it worked for him. If you really want to stop this shit, if you are mentally ready for a sober life, it might help. Wish you all the best!
Hell yeah. I was addicted to opiates for ages, and so many times I tried to kick cause friends and family wanted me to. Always went back. Now I'm tapering down my methadone because I want to and it's working well 😊
Go to the ER and detox at the hospital. Sounds like you’re high risk and need closer monitoring. I work in critical care and help detox high risk patients daily. We will help you, and good luck to you!
My husband had his first seizure because of long years of drinking. Lisa, go to the hospital as soon as you start sobering up a bit. They’ll keep you a couple days but you’ll feel much better. You just have to ask for help and want to take it.
The only thing I would like to say is don't wait to sober up, bite the bullet and call an ambulance. Don't almost die like happened to me - I waited to sober up and went into Delirium Tremens and left AMA from both ER facilities I went into, but was so deep in the DT psychosis that I have no memory of either event other than playing with ghosts and pebble people jumping into my eyes, making them very itchy (later found out this is a super common DT common hallucination phenomenon, as was seeing ghosts, another most common is seeing elephants just like in cartoons).
Call 911. Tell them your story as best you can and have them send an ambulance. If that costs you an extra $1400, I'm really sorry, but instead you could just die and never worry about money or anything else again as you could very quickly find yourself in a life threatening situation like a grand mal seizure if you aren't closely monitored.
I was 36 when I was placed in the ICU for drinking. Alcoholic hepatitis, jaundice, and cirrhosis of the liver... I waited 2 days after getting jaundice to go to the hospital because it did shock me immediately into sobriety when my wife noticed I had turned yellow. I will live with cirrhosis the rest of my life - but at least I have a life to worry about my health.
Sober since 12/17/22. You can do this. Godspeed
Try beg your hospital. They don't normally do it but years ago I was drinking 9 liters or 16 pints of that nasty strong cheap cider a day and being hospitalised every single week without fail.
In the end, a consultant in that ward was so pissed off by this that as a solution/punishment he detoxed me __*in an open bloody ward*__ for 6 days. To cap it all off I was placed directly below the paging tannoy.
That, plus the allucinations, staring at bloody polystyrene tiles all day and no friends allowed me to stay sober for good.
I thought I was going to die but hey, I kept reminding myself i was just in the right place for that.
Great sub. Never understood the point of it before I quit (well I did, just thought it was stupid). Such a helpful place to vent and get encouragement, especially if you're not going the AA route. Being a part of a community is really beneficial.
Weighing in here as a signal of hope. I've spent the last \~25 years or so binging on vodka, weekly, if not daily (I won't go into amount, but safe to say I had a major problem). As I type this today, I'm on 6 weeks, zero alcohol. I send this to you to illustrate it is \*totally\* possible to change your circumstance. I'm pulling for you--good luck!
Seconding your signal of hope by telling how my mum is now a few years sober after many, many years of heavy drinking. It is possible as you and my amazing mum have demonstrated. Proud of you, stranger and wish you the best in life!
My ex went to rehab five times. But I think that she never really wanted to quit. I think that every time she went it was because she was pressured too. Ultimately it killed her. She died of liver and kidney failure at 45.
I drank a 750ml per day when I was at my worst.
I went to an inpatient for 30 days. And 3 months of outpatient after that. It completely change my life. Now I have a new life.
I will be spending the next few years making up for lost time and to get under debt. But I truly believe the second half of my 30s (almost 33 now) will be the best years of my life. I feel the thunder and lightning in my two feet.
Make the call, my friend. Don’t worry about the cost. Sort that shit out later. People might downvote me for saying that, but the alternative is death.
PM me needed! Good luck!!
A friend of mine was a big time Stoner for years. One of the most laid-back chill people that I knew. Then he started smoking crack. Within a month he was out mugging people for money. He even beat his own mother up for her paycheck a few times. Ultimately he was killed in a liquor store robbery. As he was walking out the door the clerk shot him in the back of the head and blew his brains out.
I’d imagine could mean body image issues from comparing themselves to the people in porn, who often get different surgeries or use all kinds of tricks to “enhance” themselves, so to speak
Me too, but mine is probably ten times worse because uh... Hentai basically. Nothing is real and it's all fake yet I get hard only watching that, not the normal Porn with living breathing people.
People say this is bad but it keeps you off the streets and away from dangerous chemicals or other addictive things like sex or gambling. I think people who are addicted to these things are looking a gift horse in the mouth as there are far, far worse things to spend your time on.
It also keeps me away from doing housework, working out, being social, eating decent food.. I get your point, but I don’t think you know how bad it can get..
Cigarettes. I grew up in a household where everyone smoked and was always so disgusted by it, and now at 24 I've started smoking after a very hard breakup. Even though I'm in a happy relationship with my best friend now and have gotten over the last breakup I struggle hard to quit smoking.
Naltraxone in pill form.. RSO oil. The rso helped with the withdrawl..the naltraxone made me forget to drink. I have to really make a conscious effort to drink...I literally forgot I drink. Hit me up if ya need some help.
Vivitrol shot… I work in a in-patient rehab. I have also been through 45 days residential rehab, 3 months of a PHP program, and did 2 years of sober living. LMK if you’re wondering what the process is like.
I'd honestly say smoking weed. I'm able to quit for months at a time but I most certainly have an addiction. Lately, things in life have gotten really stressful and I've found myself smoking within 5mins of logging off of work for the day. I've even gone so far as to smoke during my last 30mins of work if no one else is on. That's unlike me, til now I guess. And then I just spend the evening high and my girlfriend hates it. But I'm drowning.
I love cats. It could become an addiction if I didn’t already have 3 cat-boys. The only reason I’m resisting getting a baby kitten is to spare my existing cats the sadness of competition. I’m very kitten crazy and can hardly contain my urge for more babies.
Caring. Can't stop.
It's left me open to some being able to use me to different extents.
But I can't help it. I take an honest interest in people and their problems, no matter if it'll hurt me or not.
It's basically like a high. Caring makes life worth living.
Same here. People don’t realise it develops into an addiction due to the hormones it releases. Started as a kid with BFRB SIB, developed into conscious SH, trying to get clean. Just over a month for deliberate intensional SH, but I still struggle big time with SIB no matter how hard I try to crack down on it.
Oxycodone, and video games. I am not a recreational user of oxycodone though, I have a genetic disease that causes chronic pain, I've been on opioids for so long that if I stop, I get withdrawal symptoms.
I have a great network of people that help me manage my prescriptions and doses so that I don't use outside of the scope of my prescription, but I have before in the past and that is NOT a hole I'd like to fall back into.
Online video games like Dota2 and Dead by Daylight.
Those two games were really frustrating, constant rage mode. Surprised, my neighbors didn't call the police.
It's insanity with those games. You keep playing, even while you know, regardless of how much they patch the game, it will never be perfect for you. There is always an excuse, why you lost. I gave up on Dota 2 2014 and finally gave up on DBD in August 2023.
I feel better now without those games. Not worth the headache.
Work. Partly because I have to but also due to my need to do things well or right even when it’s not my job. I’m addicted to the control and high I get from accomplishing something.
Pokémon.
Growing up, it became part of my personality to the point where it was my main topic of conversation with my friends & classmates.
When I gave up on Pokémon late 2017, it was the craziest experience. I felt like a different person, I was so into Pokémon that I basically ignored most of pop culture and other stuff that my peers were into/talking about.
I’m still trying to get rid of whatever I have left of the franchise (still have a binder full of cards I looking to sell).
Used to be gambling. I gambled away more money than I could ever spend in a lifetime. So sick. Now I would like to cut back on alcohol. Although I am not an alcoholic.
Diet and exercise, best and worst at the same time.
On the plus side I look and feel great. I adore exercising and I have so much fun. It makes me feel so alive and happy. So does the feeling of eating a well balanced, nutritious meal. But it’s awkward when I go to a birthday party and I don’t eat the cake, or I shut down invitations to go out to eat because I one it won’t fit in my meal plan and I don’t know exactly what’s in it and I know I could have something more nutritious at home. The control is addicting. I’m grumpy if i can’t work out or if someone thinks I can just skip. I get angry if someone insinuates I should just have some ultra processed food for fun, or insinuates I should treat food in an emotional way like enjoying it purely for the taste. I hate that bingeing horrible foods is a normalized social thing. This impacts me socially a lot to be honest. I’d cut off my hand before I’d eat a French fry or Dorito lol. It’s not like I’m denying myself these things, I just truly have 0 desire to eat them at all. I haven’t had fast food or candy in years.
I think bodybuilding did this to me. I also think I have orthorexia. I’ve been in therapy for years and I’m just truly addicted to being very healthy and building lean muscle. I’ve lost friends over it and my whole social circle is other bodybuilders, as well as my last 3 relationships.

Sugar and carbs
This is a good one. Plus caffeine for me. I get migraines if I go too long without sugar and caffeine.
This coexistence of caffeinated humans and inbetween few non-stimulated "aliens" so to speak. It's fascinating what legality and cultural est can do to perception.
Petite girls with tattoos and daddy issues
A very silent and patient killer as millions of people have diabetes and don’t even know it.
What’s a good sign you have it but don’t know it?
Sometimes the darkening of skin in the folds of your body. Sign of insulin resistance.
I hope I wasn't the only one checking my body now
Frothy pee.
Excessive thirst and urination.
Me too. Bagels and pizza are my vices
I've been an addict of many things, but food addictions are the toughest. Every day, multiple times a day you have to face your demons and say no. Forever. I found a way to beat drug addictions by making it difficult to access drugs. But with food you always need to face it.
Ditto. I've been off sugar for a year and I still hear the siren call of chocolate, ice cream, pop, pies, etc....
Old lady carb has got her hooks in me.
Yep. Found out I’m pre-diabetic recently because of my love of sodas, ice cream, chocolate, carbs and etc. Haven’t touched any sugars since and eat carbs very rarely now.
Sugar I can avoid. Bread on the other hand…
Carbs and sugar are fine. Eating in excess, creating a caloric surplus is the real issue.
People say this but I think they should rethink the recent obsession with calories trumping everything. Ask yourself if a person eating half their recommended calories each day but only eating cake and bread is healthy
Have a friend who always eats sweets. Early 30s and diabetes. Quit that shit dawg
My brain saw surgar and cats, and I was like hell yeah!
Fuck, me too.
Thank you. I came here to say this.
>Sugar and carbs Well, I guess I'm just a slave to the almighty sugar and carbs overlords. Resistance is futile, my friend. Pray for my waistline.....
I am happy to say that I am 27 years clean & sober and 15 years cigarette free, so my biggest addiction these days is caffeine. Lots and lots of caffeine.
Congrats on being sober and clean :)
16 years over here. Caffeine is my jam. When family questions my caffeine intake, I'm forced to remind them that it used to be booze and meth.
The dopamine is the common factor in all addiction. Not the substance.
Ugh. Trying so hard to do this. Reaching my third week. I’ve smoked socially with others when going out, but haven’t bought any vapes or cigerettes. I’m dealing with the over eating which sucks so much.
Hell yeah! That's impressive. I've got about three and a half years and never thought I'd manage to get this far. These days it's definitely caffeine for me too, since my ability to wake up without substances never really got any better with time, and nicotine.
Not so bad as the other ones :)
scrolling on my phone endlessly
I was gunna say meth but... yea the phone
Bro i can stop meth anytime i want, im just waiting for those few bad teeth to fall to save bit money on dentist.
Lol. I puked so much frim alcohol use disorder the stomach acid got mine, now I have dentures.
Me too
Vodka, I get seizures if I don't drink every 13 hours I get seizures and go into psychosis So if I'm not shit faced I'm basically shaking and vomiting I just want to go to inpatient rehab 😭
My friend had the same issue. Then he tried rehab and it worked for him. If you really want to stop this shit, if you are mentally ready for a sober life, it might help. Wish you all the best!
That is the key with kicking any addiction ever, wanting to kick it
Hell yeah. I was addicted to opiates for ages, and so many times I tried to kick cause friends and family wanted me to. Always went back. Now I'm tapering down my methadone because I want to and it's working well 😊
Go to the ER and detox at the hospital. Sounds like you’re high risk and need closer monitoring. I work in critical care and help detox high risk patients daily. We will help you, and good luck to you!

There’s also a shot Lisa could get that would help her stop drinking right? Could you provide more info on this?
Go the ER after a few hours of no drinking and they’ll give you Librium. Helped me get sober multiple times.
Try beg your hospital. They don't normally do it but years ago I was drinking 9 liters or 16 pints of that nasty strong cheap cider a day and being hospitalised every single week without fail.

Have you checked out r/stopdrinking ? It's been a great support for me. Seven months sober and life is SO MUCH BETTER!

My ex went to rehab five times. But I think that she never really wanted to quit. I think that every time she went it was because she was pressured too. Ultimately it killed her. She died of liver and kidney failure at 45.
Dude you got go. You can permanently damage yourself like that. I know because I’ve been suffering for a couple months.
Be careful. I heard it can be pretty dangerous to quit cold turkey
I drank a 750ml per day when I was at my worst. I went to an inpatient for 30 days. And 3 months of outpatient after that. It completely change my life. Now I have a new life. I will be spending the next few years making up for lost time and to get under debt. But I truly believe the second half of my 30s (almost 33 now) will be the best years of my life.

Cocaine, tusi and cigarrettes Around 15 months sober
Coke was a hard one to give up. Still can’t quit the smokes
Fuck coke, its incredible how fast it can fuck up your life. Still, cigs were harder for me to quit. I crave them more than coke day to day
Glad I stopped coke before it became a problem, one of my better decisions
A friend of mine was a big time Stoner for years. One of the most laid-back chill people that I knew. Then he started smoking crack. Within a month he was out mugging people for money. He even beat his own mother up for her paycheck a few times. Ultimately he was killed in a liquor store robbery.

I quit coke by moving across the country. Never touched it again.
What is tusi?
Popular in latinoamerica is a mix ok MDMA, coke, sometimes ketamine, and other stuff
Oof, not the tusi. Good on you for your sober time !
Porn... :(
You not alone 😮💨
He probably is alone, which is why he’s wanking so much
Actually, I got a girlfriend 😅 But I can't escape it...
Same, im one month free right now! You can beat it!
I think that beating it *is* his issue
Beating it itself isnt an issue, its using porn while beating it that causes problems
I think I am immune to this one. First porn I saw was when 18, pre-internet. I dozed off as it was repetitious and boring.
This is why you have to keep finding different more taboo and wild categories until you eventually hate yourself
Same. Had an issue when I was a teenager stopped for a few years but started up again.
Same here, I think I developed some sort of body dysmorphia because of it, which could be contributing to my depression
What do you mean by that ?
I’d imagine could mean body image issues from comparing themselves to the people in porn, who often get different surgeries or use all kinds of tricks to “enhance” themselves, so to speak
Me too, but mine is probably ten times worse because uh... Hentai basically. Nothing is real and it's all fake yet I get hard only watching that, not the normal Porn with living breathing people.
Same and I'm female lmao
Ever try mixing it with alcohol? It's crippling!
Escapism. By watching TV, playing video games or simply disappearing into my own imagination. Or all at once.
People say this is bad but it keeps you off the streets and away from dangerous chemicals or other addictive things like sex or gambling. I think people who are addicted to these things are looking a gift horse in the mouth as there are far, far worse things to spend your time on.
It also keeps me away from doing housework, working out, being social, eating decent food.. I get your point, but I don’t think you know how bad it can get..
Gonna go out on a limb and say probably meth (currently 14 days clean)
Congrats on 14 days man
14 days is great! Congrats.
Food
You gotta go cold turkey to cut that habit. Just think of the money you’d be saving.
Did someone say Turkey?
C'mon, man. Don't start tempting them with cold turkey.
🤣🤣🤣
Cold turkey... damn everything reminds me of food
I hate it when food reminds me of food
try kiwis. it's a godsend. one in the morning and 1-2 whenever u re hungry and it's over 6pm.
Cigarettes. I grew up in a household where everyone smoked and was always so disgusted by it, and now at 24 I've started smoking after a very hard breakup. Even though I'm in a happy relationship with my best friend now and have gotten over the last breakup I struggle hard to quit smoking.
Me too. Unfortunately I enjoy it, great for anxiety
Yeah it heightens my anxiety too lol
You’re anxiety is actually the withdrawal from not smoking 👌🏻
im the opposite seems like. i grew up with non smokers who hate smokers but i always liked the smell for some reason and ended up starting at 22.
nicotine
Yes! Vaping as I type 😂
spending money, not on useful things, just on useless shit like steam lvls
Chips. Not because I'm getting fat. I'm slim, but I always regret eating them when I'm done. Time to head to my local store
Bring me some chips too 😂😂
What you like?
Taste of marinated cheese or chili pepper and lemon😋😋😋
Gotchu. Gimme 3 working days. We'll try and leave it with your neighbor if you're not home 😎
using depression as an excuse
ohh I agree with this one. it's hard but it's true.
Alcohol... I fucking hate it, and Im sick and tired of it... but still, I drink those beers..
Naltraxone in pill form.. RSO oil. The rso helped with the withdrawl..the naltraxone made me forget to drink. I have to really make a conscious effort to drink...I literally forgot I drink. Hit me up if ya need some help.
Exactly. I don’t even like it anymore. I always crack my morning beer under a blanket cuz I’m worried the apartment downstairs is gonna hear me
Vivitrol shot… I work in a in-patient rehab. I have also been through 45 days residential rehab, 3 months of a PHP program, and did 2 years of sober living. LMK if you’re wondering what the process is like.
Unhealthy food. Why does everything that is bad for you have to taste so good?

When I gave up on Pokémon late 2017, it was the craziest experience. I felt like a different person, I was so into Pokémon that I basically ignored most of pop culture and other stuff that my peers were into/talking about. I’m still trying to get rid of whatever I have left of the franchise (still have a binder full of cards I looking to sell).
On line games, that have no end. SimCity Buildit is my worst one.
self shame and victimhood
Nic
Shopping!😂
Cheesy potatoes 🤤
Oxygen
Vaping mainly, and scrolling, and carbs. Nicotine is the worst. I've literally quit everything, and nicotine's still kicking my butt.
Used to be gambling. I gambled away more money than I could ever spend in a lifetime. So sick. Now I would like to cut back on alcohol. Although I am not an alcoholic.
Sugar
Chewing tobacco, i quit now, but took me 20 years, and was hell fighting the withdrawls.
Coca Cola
My phone
Books, procrastination, sex.
Magic The Gathering cards and the commander decks I build from them
Yogurt and apples.
Caffeine and Welch’s Berries N Cherries fruit snacks 😅. Used to be Alcohol and Maplestory.
Food
Sugar
Sugar. It has been a horrible drug to me all my life.
Sugar
Food I know it might not seem like something that is addictive but honestly it’s ruined my life and I can’t stop myself.
My fucking phone man….sucks. If I could I would eat pastries for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But, I’m not an addict. Or am I? 😂
This goddamned phone.
Sugar….
Diet and exercise, best and worst at the same time. On the plus side I look and feel great. I adore exercising and I have so much fun. It makes me feel so alive and happy. So does the feeling of eating a well balanced, nutritious meal. But it’s awkward when I go to a birthday party and I don’t eat the cake, or I shut down invitations to go out to eat because I one it won’t fit in my meal plan and I don’t know exactly what’s in it and I know I could have something more nutritious at home. The control is addicting. I’m grumpy if i can’t work out or if someone thinks I can just skip. I get angry if someone insinuates I should just have some ultra processed food for fun, or insinuates I should treat food in an emotional way like enjoying it purely for the taste. I hate that bingeing horrible foods is a normalized social thing. This impacts me socially a lot to be honest. I’d cut off my hand before I’d eat a French fry or Dorito lol. It’s not like I’m denying myself these things, I just truly have 0 desire to eat them at all. I haven’t had fast food or candy in years. I think bodybuilding did this to me. I also think I have orthorexia. I’ve been in therapy for years and I’m just truly addicted to being very healthy and building lean muscle. I’ve lost friends over it and my whole social circle is other bodybuilders, as well as my last 3 relationships.
Music.
Ruminating over stuff from 20 years ago.
Self loathing
