What's your addiction?

[Northernguy]

So today I got thinking about addiction. It's easy to think, with a word like "addiction", of a load of really serious and negative scenarios. Drugs, usually pretty negative? Gambling, that can't be a positive thing if taken too far can it?

I consider myself to have no addictions. I don't drink in excess, I don't take drugs. I don't gamble and I don't eat in excess. I don't smoke and I don't look at porn all day (well not all day!).

But then maybe I do have some addictions. Lets think. I use my computer every day without fail. I've sometimes played online games more than I know I really should. I used to play the piano up to 5 hours a day in the name of practice, development and progress. I have a number of hugs and kisses every day and consider myself "in need" of them. I wash my hair every morning and brush my teeth twice daily without fail.

Which made me think, does everyone have an addiction of some sort? Are all addictions bad? If they're not, what makes a bad addiction? It is actually unhealthy, uncommon or even impossible to not be addicted to something?

I'm a compulsive perfectionist at work. I demand nothing less than the best from myself. Okay, so the results are positive, but it's kind of an addiction.

Also Marlboro Lights and dark chocolate.

I am the bad boy!! Addicted to porn (men only), coffee, morning paper, sports, especially college, red wine, occasional cig, and daily exercise!!

 

[Swellegant]

Shopping and sugar are my big addictions, the things I turn to when I want to feel better and which tend to make me feel worse in the long run. Oh, and television.

I was going to add coffee and chocolate, and maybe porn, but that's like saying I'm addicted to oxygen. Some things are really more necessary than one might think.
