Do you have any addictions?

So I have a good and bad one..

My good one is I love to meditate a LOT lol 😂 I love just being in that state of mind where it’s so peaceful, I love being in touch with my soul it’s such a divine place to be I just can’t get enough of it and get grumpy when I can’t meditate.

My bad one..

Vaping 🙄.. I gave up smoking about 11 years ago then started to go to festivals, pubs and clubs with my friends and of course they either vaped or smoked so after a few drinks I grab their vapes and now I’m hooked again!!

I have a few. Some good, some not-so-good, and some really bad. I work through them as much as I can, but shit happens.

Good - I love reading, and can easily forget my life while reading a book(s) I love working out & running, and sometimes I take those to the extreme.

Bad - I am a smoker, I like my whiskey a little too much from time to time, and I am a cutter,

@MyMonstersAreReal I have so many books I have read and some I Havant even thought about lol have to be in the right mood to read.

Well we can’t all be perfect can we so don’t beat yourself up about it I also have a naughty habit 🤭 and its not drinking lol 😂 although I do drink a fair bit especially when I go out!

@MyMonstersAreReal The cutting (a form of self harm) ,
it is a trauma response
and many will never admit to it but it's a coping thing, so, it's 'fine'.

Sadly, or tragically actually, it is VERY misunderstood and as such,
this modality of 'coping' faces a shit ton of STIGMA.
Which is not fair.

As long as you are safe and hopefully you have supports in your sphere, and it hopefully will lessen.

Hugs.

OldBrit · 61-69, M

Alcohol but nearly 20 years sober.

Food can be a problem too but I work to control that.

LittleTinks

@OldBrit well done you!!

SarahAndSamantha · 46-50, F

I'm hopelessly devoted to nicotine.

LittleTinks

@SarahAndSamantha terrible isn’t it lol 😂

SarahAndSamantha · 46-50, F

@LittleTinks It is! I guess I DO have a positive one as well. I have a constant need to create, art projects, writing, music, whatever it may be. So it's not ALL negatives at least :P

LittleTinks

@SarahAndSamantha I use to do lots of arty things now I can’t be bothered lol 😂

NoGamesTolerated · F

No, I don’t think so, but I do have things I really do like a lot and prefer to have them.

Good - I seem to be addicted to SW.
Bad - I seem to be addicted to SW.

AlchemyFox · 36-40, F

I'm addicted to my peace and solitude.

LittleTinks

@AlchemyFox yeeees me too!

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

No addictions.

thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M

Caffeine. I also smoke a lot of weed but it's medical so I don't count it.

I'm also just obsessed with the nude form. Probably some leftover weirdness from my upbringing.
