That's not bad actually. I was over $50K in debt for all my medical bills, but I was able to get most of it forgiven. I need to start paying it forward, because that was a very big deal to me.

That's understandable. You have to pay for health care. I don't, at all.

I think I might be spiralling into an online shopping addiction. The ither day I saw Arkham Asylum for £3.75 on Steam and bought it, even though I knew it was never going to work on my computer anyway, not even mentioning that I've spent pretty much all my money on Valvey goodness.

Nothing because I am more dry and passionless than dead vagina.

Obsessive sometimes but never really addicted to anything.

cigs.

alochol lsd weed ecstasy I can do and stop doing for a while. Alochol I just like using to loosen up a bit. Use it once a week - 2 times a week.

Alcohol.

I think it's 2 weeks or so without ciggs now. I stopped counting days.
Still on that vapor tip, so I guess I'm still addicted to the habit, but at least it isn't killing me.

Tobacco, and possibly weed. I'm an insomniac, and for the last month have been using weed almost every night to actually fall asleep. It's got to the point where if I don't have a zoot in the early hours I become anxious and actually scared of lying in bed awake amidst pitch black silence. It's a totally vicious circle, or at least it feels like one.

As for alcohol, my dad was an alcoholic, and in a way I have him to thank for the fact that I'll never abuse the stuff. It can have absolutely atrocious consequences for not only the user, but those around them too.

I've dabbled with various other drugs, but never developed an attachment to them.
