Erm... video games? Computers? Procrastination? :\

We just need to pick up some dirty habits, quit then and then boast about how superior we are for doing so.

Caffeine. I get cranky without it.

Oh, and the Internet... I guess. If you think it counts as an addiction, anyway. I could probably live without it.

I guess it's just my mind. But I don't see how caffeine is addicting.

Everyone is their own snowflake I suppose. Not saying it's not addicting. I have a friend who goes NUTS over it.

But you can also say forums in general is addicting for me. I love posting. And I can not go a day without posting something.

Some people live on caffeine. :\ Like one guy at work who one day had 4 extra-large coffees and two energy drinks.

And he was STILL a little tired at the end of his shift.

The internet. Sad state of affairs, but it's less of an "addiction" and more of a "reliance". At some point, things just get so bad that without it, it'd literally be a catastrophe. It's one of the few things that makes me even remotely happy any more (to the point that my ever-loving family is now pointing out the rare times I smile. Thanks, asshats.)

Aside from that, soda in general. I cannot fucking stand going more than a day without a can of something, and I will often have more than 5 a day if I can. Unhealthy as fuck, but given that I rarely eat throughout the day and don't drink water, well...

I drink a lot of soft drinks and a lot of water. I eat horribly, so I'm likely to get really fat as I get older

That was me.

So I finally told myself to stop drinking soda. And I've been loosing weight because of it. I used to work out in the past, but I would also drink a lot of soda (anyone remember my Sprite Remix picture?) so I wouldn't lose anything and I ended up gaining more.

I remember a lot of soft drink threads at I1, and you were like "Pop is a type of music!"

Here in Michigan, "soda" is code word for "you're obviously from somewhere else"

I usually use "soft drink" online in the interests of neutrality.

I can stop any day, but then again......why would I want to do that(I think I just contradicted myself).

I don't really have any. In high school, I was definitely addicted to the internet and to caffeine, but I can go without both now and it's not a problem.

The only thing I can think of that I really can't go without is music. If I'm at home, it's always playing in my room. If I'm at school, my ipod is always on. If I'm at work, I have the radio on. I fucking hate silence. ...But I don't know if that's an addiction or just a preference.
