    Went out late one night and drank 6 vodkas and red bull to catch up and get in the mood.

    To catch up? You must have been hopping.

    Penneys. I'm not even joking. I can't go in for a 'look' without coming out with something. The other day I went in for socks (€3) and came out with two casual tops and two gym tops (€23).
    On the bright side though, I did actually remember to get the socks!

    Books. I have over 200 books to read but still usually end up buying more whenever I go out.

    Possibly exercise. I get tetchy if I don't exercise for more than a couple of days. Is that the same thing?

    You hear about people who are definitely addicted to exercise, what I'd like to know is if it's a chemical thing or if it's just behavioral.

    I have a few pint-sized cups devoted to tea, I drink maybe eight of these a day. Sometimes I'll drink coffee, but that tends to be when I'm out and feel like wasting money on overpriced caffeine.

    I have no addictions. I have will power.

    I never really got this caffeine thing at all. It seems like something people say because they feel it's required, not because they really really need coffee.

    Placebo effect

    I lack the will power to get addicted to anything. It takes a surprising amount of effort.

    One of those hot summers (not in Ireland)I bought a load of cheap (great deal) lemonade (full sugar). I work in construction and was dying of thirst each evening.

    I couldn't believe how crazy I was for the stuff by the "Fourth" evening.

    I didn't even think I was an addictive type Person.

    I can't tell if you're talking about cocaine or not.

    Seriously it was Lemonade:D.

    It goes to show how addictive Sugar is. Be careful with that Sugar.

    Used to be addicted to tea but gave it up because I got bad headaches if I scar missed a cup. Feel much better now less jittery or something :P

    Avocados and tea. I even take bags of both with me when I go abroad in case I can't get my 'fix' while I'm away from home.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    The internet.

    Like others, tea is my addiction. Big builders mugs of Barrys, almost hourly. I get antsy if I don't get my regular mugs of cha.

    I'm addicted to sex! Believe it or not I'm hard at it right now! It's not easy to balance a laptop on a woman's back btw

    Tea.
    Nice and strong with a splash of milk, no sugar.
    Tastes gorgeous in the morning if you've a bit of a thirst. Perfect with your ham sambo at lunch and always soothes when you're ill or upset.
    It's just the ideal drink and I couldn't give it up.
    You can keep your coffees and herbal teas.

    Love. I'm addicted to love.


    And LSD.

    Me too. Addicted to the endorphin rush I get from running and cycling and the elevated serotonin levels in my brain that means I can stay off anti-depressants, so it's a good addiction for me. :)

    Food, alcohol, diet coke, sex and the internet.


  • Posts: 7,344 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Sex and DIY. The actual DIY - not some kind of innuendo DIY :)

    If I go more than a couple of days without engaging in either of those things I get antsy and depressed and so forth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭Juan8


    Weed......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,853 ✭✭✭veryangryman


    Not 1 mention of gambling yet. Odd.

    Its the invisible addiction i guess now with the annonymity of it through technology. Pretty serious one too.
