    why I ask is because I have such an addictive personality. Hoping I'm not alone. I reckon it can be genetic. a few members of my family are the same

    Nicotine.

    Get by just about on the vape these days but still fall off the wagon every now and then.


    I'm very uptight in general so took to tobacco smoking like a duck to water.

    Nope. Used to be addicted to nicotine, but I broke that (with a lot of ****ing work) and sugar, but I significantly cut down on that too.

    cool but something to consider. If you walk him too much he might get tired and not appreciate his nicer walks. :D

    Maybe there is no such thing as an addictive personality but in fact you have poor self control.

    Edit: I didn't mean that as an insult, I just mean if you look at it the way I suggest then you can tackle the problem and get your addictions under control rather than thinking your doomed to addiction due to being built that way.

    I read somewhere that people don;t get addicted to things, they get addicted to the pleasure the substance/behaviour creates. Not sure where...?

    Anyway, in answer to your question: the internet. Have some blocker software installed on the laptop that blocks all connections at certain times.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Maybe it all amounts to the same thing in the end.

    Chocolate. Crave the stuff. Have a sweet tooth in general, but don’t eat sweets or crisps. Ate two packets of chocolate biscuits in the space of half an hour this evening.

    coke zero. i really don't have an addictive personality, but i believe in it and feel sorry for those who do.

    and i'm delighted i hate cigarettes as the most strong willed people i know can't give up their nicotine addiction
