Alright, friends, it’s time to come clean about the things that yours truly is addicted to…
I’m gonna have to say pizza, tacos, and Chinese food.
It could be worse, but I’m trying hard to work on not being addicted to ANYTHING at all…so I’ll keep you posted on that.
What are you addicted to?
Folks shared their thoughts on AskReddit.
1. Night owl.
“Staying up late.
I work for 8 hours a day save for the weekends. Then I try to balance time between Friends, Family, the project that I’ve been working on with an independent team, or various things that I’ve been voluntold that I’m doing.
Then when it gets to be really late at night, I want to just watch something by myself, or listen to my audiobook and get some cleaning done, or have a period of time that is just for ME. So I’ll end up staying up super late to have that alone time and then end up regretting it in the morning.”
2. A common one.
“My phone.
I walk around staring at this thing from the moment I wake up to the moment I close my eyes. I really need to separate myself from it somehow…
The saddest part is that I see my wife doing the same thing now when she used to get annoyed with me about it. Sometimes I worry that my kids will only remember me with my face tilted downwards.”
3. Bad news.
“Sugar.
Sugar is such an intense addiction that we all just sort of brush off.
The obesity rates speak for themselves at this point. It’s a huge issue”
4. Can’t stop.
“Binge eating.
I yoyo around with my weight. One year I am skinny, the next I am 50lbs over weight. I use to eat/drink/s**ke out of boredom.
This year I’ve lost a lot and plan to keep it off. Getting rid of Ubereats has helped a lot.”
5. Can’t have just one.
“I think I’m addicted to al**hol socially.
Don’t have any issue when not drinking, but when I am there is no “just having a few”.
Getting loaded every time.”
6. DOOM.
“Doomscrolling through different types of social media while I wait for my tasks at work to catch up with me.”
7. A hard cycle to break.
“Alcohol, sadly.
I’m 26 and I want to finally commit to sobriety fully this new year.
The Midwest US is nuts on al**holism but hopefully with support I can put it down.”
8. Yuck.
“I’m addicted to milk and I cant help it. I literally bought a gallon of milk yesterday morning and I finished the entire thing 30 minutes ago.
I drink so much milk, and I know its not good for me. And what makes it worse is I always accompany it with some kind of junk food, like cookies, ho hos, muffins, etc.
I h**e it.”
9. Me, too.
“Coffee.
Drinking it makes me feel affection I don’t get anywhere, it’s like a hug to my soul.”
10. Slow down!
“Candy is about 70% of my diet.
Reese’s are 90% of that.”
11. You have a problem.
“P**n.
I wish I could stop. But I can’t!”
12. Film fanatic.
“Watching movies.
Good movies, bad movies, old movies, new movies, big budget movies, Indie movies, fiction, documentary, foreign or made in the USA – I don’t care.
I’ll watch them all! And I have never walked out of a theater or not completed watching a movie at home. I hardly watch any television shows because of it.”
13. There you go.
“Long answer: White Boneless Chicken, Water, Vegetable Oil (canola Oil, Corn Oil, Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil), Enriched Flour (bleached Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Bleached Wheat Flour, Yellow Corn Flour, Vegetable Starch (modified Corn, Wheat, Rice, Pea, Corn), Salt, Leavening (baking Soda, Sodium Aluminum Phosphate, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Calcium Lactate, Monocalcium Phosphate), Spices, Yeast Extract, Lemon Juice Solids, Dextrose, Natural Flavors.

14. Uh oh…
