bad habits/addictions thread
 

In an effort to comfort myself I'm wondering(hoping) that others on here have some crippling, and potentially life-shortening addictions on this forum?

I'll start with my own-
daily smoking
daily alcohol consumption
Energy drinks(which I was unaware killed so many people so will eliminate)
Fast food, don't even like it but seemingly everywhere and get hungry
Also been thwarted by some very mean vain mistresses at work to use teeth whitener which will **** up my enamel for a few weeks to obtain unnaturally white teeth

Music Banter :P other wise I live a fastidious life of pious prayer... sshh don't disturb me I am worshiping...

Caffeine. Not a huge addiction by any means, but I cannot go more than an hour without a coffee or a Pepsi/Coca Cola.

I'm hopelessly addicted to being old and fat

1. I have recently quit smoking by about 90%. I still bum cigarettes when I got out but the main goal has been reached as I haven't bought my own personal pack since the summer. Now I have transformed into that annoying assh*le who bums cigarettes from his friends. However, I'd have to do this for like three more years to catch up to my friends who have bummed from me since high school.

2. Movies. I watch WAY too many movies. It used to be 2-3 a day and I've weened myself off to about 4-5 a week. I think that's reasonable.

3. I eat horribly. My high metabolism is starting to fail me because I'm putting on weight. The thing that kills me is my job. I am constantly racing the clock in my car so I usually get fast food as it is...well...fast. I need to start making lunch.

1. chewin tobacco almost 24/7. i chew all dy at work and all day and night when im not at work. i literally chew constantly

2. smokin. ive realyl curbed this. i just started a couple yrs ago and now i dont too much but i smoke on long drives and when i drink. would like to quit all together. theres no hope for quittin chewin

3) gamblin. have curbed this really well. casino gamblin and sports gamblin. once i stopped for awhile it was easier cause ya start forgettin about the adrenaline rush and what its like. if im reminded by it then i wanna gamble more and more. so out of sight out of mind for gambles

Degenerate....

I don't have too much. I definitely want to slow down/stop drinking soda, but I know for a fact the headaches would be pretty crappy for a while as I drink a caffeinated soda or two a day so I know I have a slight addiction.

I also drink energy drinks and love the **** out of Monster but I only really drink them on weekends so at least that's not too bad I suppose.

Sometimes I think I smoke a lot of pot on weekends (generally I'm high for pretty much every waking hour Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and some on Thursday night too), but it's really not too bad. I got a $50 dollar bag back in like the beginning of January and still have a weekend or so left from that same bag, so I think I do a lot better with it than some stoners and I don't think $50 a month is going overboard with anything, especially since I pretty much don't buy myself video games or anything anymore.

Bad Habit: None. Because I'm just not into 'em anymore like I used to. I've changed.

Addicted: To music. Bands from different eras. It's like Sex Drugs Alcohol mixed with Tequila Jager & Jack D. :love:

I'm a weirdo? Haha. Fawk!

I'm addicted to knowledge, can't get enough.

I am currently reducing my sugar intake because it really messes your body up.

I click my knuckles all the time. It's also a bad habit that I'm so irresistible, its such a hard thing to control.

well i forgot porn too but im pretty much as big an addict as there is but maybe someday i can curb that too

I've kicked most of my bad habits. Still drink and smoke, but not as much as I used to.

I really don't get addicted to anything, ever. I have an obsessive personality, but I can break my "addictions" cold turkey and not think twice about it if I ever choose to. I was drinking either Surge, Mountain Dew, Sun Drop or Vault nearly every day of my life, and really didn't really suffer any withdrawals when I quit. Stopped smoking weed and I honestly felt better and more energetic the next day, and now when I do smoke on rare occasions, I get higher than ever, or at least it seems that way.

The worst habit I still have is with the crap I eat. I never eat salads or anything, and I eat fast food a lot because it's there, and a lot of times I just don't feel like making anything.

I'm addicted to booty and don't see myself quitting it anytime soon.

Twerking champ right here.

Music: not really a bad habbit, but an addiction,

DRUGS: I LOVE THEM ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL...But I have since grown outta having an "addiction" take or leave em...If you handed me some at a party, I wouldn't be like no *******... I would take them and enjoy myself...
And not seek them out the next day... I had a seven year strech where that is all I did was chase the dragon... But **** aint nobody got time for that...I got **** to do now man...

BAD HABITS:
I bite my nails
I crack my fingers and every other bone in my body except my jaw and shoulders... Only because I haven't worked out how to yet.
I pick the skin around my nails and fingertips.
I always touch my nose which leaves it really red around the bottom :(
I binge drink from a Friday til a Sunday afternoon.
I take a small cocktail of party drugs almost every weekend.

ADDICTIONS:
I'm addicted to smoking cigs.
Addicted to smoking weed.
Probably addicted to piercings but have very little room left.

Masturbation. Seriously. At least once a day. Often twice. Some days more... Not to mention porn, but without a personal computer this is obviously not a problem these days. But back in the day I'd go on benders where for days the only thing I'd do was download and watch porn. Then I'd burn myself out and be comparatively abstinent. The worst was when I tried to cut out porn all together. Usually this was because I was worried about viruses. It never worked though. I might go a few months cold turkey, but this just meant that when I broke down I broke down hard. Then it could go on for weeks.

Masturbation is good for your prostate though. So doing it once a day isn't bad. Even up to three times a day isn't an issue unless it starts interfering with your daily habits like you were waiting to be interviewed and you had to go in the bathroom to rub one out type of thing.

^ beat it like it owes ya sumthin....

So I've heard. If I get prostate cancer then I'm gonna be pissed. Well...even more pissed.

dont worry you can always jerk off to make yourself feel better. you will always have that.

True. I'm sure the nurses will understand.

Living with my girlfriend has resulted in me watching porn pretty rarely. Still a few times a week though, but never really on weekends cause thats when I get guaranteed pussy

She'd have to be a pretty big slut to keep up with my desire for nut busting.

When she's in the mood there is no amount of nut-busting one man can muster that can keep up with her sex drive.

I do this obsessively, since as long as I can remember. It started with just my nails, but if you pick your nails frantically enough you end up "stabbing" the skin around them which leads to dead skin that has to get compulsively removed. My fingers are pretty disgusting, and nothing is worse than working a food service job where you fingers may bleed because you've literally ripped off a large portion of the nail.

I fidget constantly. It adds a added stresser to job interviews when things as basic as a handshake become more complicated because I must hope they don't look at my hands and make an immediate first impression.

I've had multiple exes call my fingers "booty-digger" nails which is unfortunate :(. I wash my hands as obsessively as anything else so im probably actually more hygienic than many.

5 days a week i prob jerk off 4-6 times/day. i just got nothin to do. its prob no healthy. on the positive side i am a great person to recommend any type of porn whether it be genre or pornstar or production site or tube site or whatever. a very great skill to have as u would expect

and i looked into the fake chew tobacco. i dunno maybe i should just order it. i dont wanna lose my teeth or get lip cancer. i just love to chew so much tho

I'm like most guys. After I'm done I'm done. I don't want to see my dick for the rest of the day/several hours/ten minutes. I just get the urge several times a day and can't help myself.

We've had our fair share of those 5-times-in-one-day types of deals. It gets pretty difficult to keep going around the fourth or fifth time, tbh. Those days were much earlier in our relationship when we were just going at it every chance we got.

Same, I've done it since I was a kid. My fingertips look pretty horrid tbh, I usually peel the skin off the very top so my fingertips are sometimes bright red and really tender. I also have those little hard callous bits of skin around my fingers (mainly my thumbs) and those are an absolute pleasure to pick. I fidget a lot aswell but dunno if that's related to my finger munching. I never really bother what my hands look like until I paint my nails etc, because people then ask to see my nails and aren't quite sure what to say. Most people just constantly ask me if I'm hungry which is annoying. Do you do it more when you're nervous etc? I've found I do it more when I'm stressed, nervous, anything along those lines really.

I also pick skin off my fingernails, I do it at night when I'm bored or in the process of trying go to sleep. I don't do it all the time, but it can be really sore the next day. I try to stop myself. I love clicking my knuckles too.

I'm borderline insane about cracking my knuckles. I have this obsession with the number four, and also sixteen since it's four squared and therefore extra divine. So I have to crack the knuckles on each of my hands sixteen times (thirty-two in all). This used to be almost impossible, but apparently if you keep doing it you can do it more and more. It's not uncommon for me to be able to get thirty-two twice. Each one of my knuckles will crack two or three or even four times.

I can even crack my wrists, my toes, my ankles, and on occasion even my hips. Not to mention it sounds like I'v just snapped my neck if I crack it.

I can literally crack every single joint in my body except my shoulders, one ankle and my jaw. And that's only because I haven't figured out a way to do it without breaking them. I crack my knuckles and the other joints on my fingers. Can even crack my thumbs.

I'm getting shivers just reading about you guys loving to crack your knuckles. It gets under my skin super quickly.

One bad habit that irritates me is when people chew their food with their mouth open. Its like geez.. were you born in a barn? And each individual makes these god awful (individual) sounds with their mouth while eating whatever and wherever, in public restaurants or at home, it doesn't make any difference to these people. I try to ignore it as much as I can and let them enjoy their food but sometimes it gets so hard not to say anything when at the same time I could just bite nails into with my teeth it bothers me so bad. I wish they would show the same courtesy to people that eat normal with their mouth closed while they eat their food, in public places especially.

^ I've had a couple friends that do that and I've even pointed out how gross it is and they don't understand the problem or why it bothers me. I think it really comes down to parenting. My parents would absolutely never let me chew with my mouth open as early as like age 4, but other parents just don't care as much to enforce it I guess.

I think you're absolutely right, they act like its just a normal thing to chew their food with her mouth open lol.

I cannot start my day without a nice big, strong cup of tea.
I cannot end my day without a nice big, strong cup of tea.
I cannot survive the middle pat of the day without multiple nice big, strong cups of tea.

I think I'm addicted to the quitting smoking process. I'll go months to years without smoking and then one day just be like "I feel like being a smoker again," buy a pack, and then a few months later quit again. Maybe is masochism, I don't know.

I'm definitely addicted to coffee. I drink cup after cup all day, can't get to sleep at night, am inevitably tired the next morning, and start the cycle over again.

I have a bad habit of taking a lot of baths, which is bad because California's in a drought right now. I also tend to drink while in the bath, resulting in a very drunken but ultimately relaxed Stephenie.

I have a bad habit of collecting bibles. I always take the bible from the drawer in hotel rooms, always take the ones handed out on street corners, and I've spent way too much money on different translations I've found on the internet.

As a kid I discovered a way to crack my jaw: Put a rubber ball in one side of your mouth and bite down hard. Usually the other side will give you a satisfying crack. Good fun for we amateur self-chiropractors.
