yea i crack my fingers and my neck all the time
people always go "thats gross, you shouldnt do that you'll get arthritis"
i happen to know that thats bullshit, its an old wives tale
its the liquid/gas in between your joints popping from one part of the joint to another, thats all it is
its not actualy the bones doing anything thats makes the sound

My addictions consist of sleeping until I go to work, just a same pattern routine.
I was addicted to smoking cigs but cut that cold turkey on new years with the help of my girlfriend all I did was instead of taking 8 cig breaks a day, at work, I would go smoke 2 joints to get me through the work day. it did help i think. I am still a pretty constant user of marijuana, but I don't think I'm addicted, cause I have never once choose green over bills I also do the occasional 2c-b capsule 4 to 9 times a month, and I do a lot of mushrooms. soon to try mescaline. I have had a few DMT experiences which were phenomenal I think everyone should have at-least one and I use to do a significant amount of acid last summer but not any more. I would probably try it again tho lol sorry didn't mean to get carried away got alil off topic there for a second.
but I'm really glad I found this site you all seem like a very nice community and I hope I can be as welcome and part of the family as well.
Thanks

alright. when i was 13 i started smoking grass. haven't stoped aside form a few short breaks. I know its not a real addiction in the physical sense, but im hopelessly mentally addicted to smoking pot. Im being drug tested weekly as a probation requirement, and i still smoke 4 or 5 times a day 4 days a week. the only reason i get away with this is that i have no body fat, eat a veggy diet, eating tons of hot peppers and drink a gallon or so of water a day.
Next came Disascosiatives. DXM was a huge problem for me for a few months when i was 14. i'd drop 15 robo jell caps, go to school, take the bus to stop and shop, lift another few bottles, pop 20 more and at then crash at the end of the day. this ended when i got caught stealing them. I have no idea what was going though my head.
when i was 15 i was prescribed focalin, which i proceeded to snort within a matter of weeks. After a few months i was having trouble sleeping, so i was prescribed benzos.
I kicked the speed on my own when i was 16 and moved on. Now i didn't realize it but i was ridiculously physically dependent on bnezos. After i had my wisdom teeth pulled, i was given vicodin. hello opiate addiction. hell and back again. this only lasted about a two months but i remember as vivid as yesterday bumming cash at starbucks to score an OC80 or 20mg's of morphine. i spent all 3000 dollars in that one month. this i kicked for a girl.
after i managed to get off the dope, i realized how rediculiously addicted i was to benzos.
i was taking about 30mg's temazepam, 2mg's clonazepam, and as much xanax as i could get my hands on every day. I eventually had a psychotic break and a small fight with my father that landed me in lockdown at the local police station.
in between all these "major events" i found time for amphetamine and cocaine binges. along with a few lost weekends where i nearly ate nearly my body weight in MDMA.
i kicked everything for 2 months. now im more or less clean. i drink kava kava on a nightly basis, smoke 4 days or so a week, binge drink every 2 weeks or so, and occasionally find a way to blow dope and not get caught. i have a bad feeling that in a few years im going to be hopelessly addicted to dope. once im off probation. Oh yeah, i also smoke 4 or 5 packs a week.
I haven't included anything about tripping because its done nothing but good in my life. Actually acid was a major factor in choosing to stop popping benzos and mushrooms helped me deal with the harsh reality i never saw before withdrawals.
i can't say i regret any of this. aside from getting arrested. ive learned more from getting through addiction than i ever could have from a trip. im cultivating good living habits, drinking plenty of green tea, exercising every day, writing music again, smoking fewer cigarettes and doing well in school. thats my story. its in the past and i feel im largely who i am today because of it.

Wow Brugmansia, what a story. I'm glad you managed to get over it. In 2003 I was working in a vitamin store in Amsterdam and met a guy who told me about his GHB addiction (he came to buy GABA). I think it was the first thing I ever heard about GHB, so I was never eager to try it out myself, even though as you say a carefully measured dose isn't harmful.Brugmansia a dit:
I thought I had already posted my addictions in this thread, but it seems I haven't yet. There are some things I've been doing on a daily basis, but since I don't experience negative effects from them (though my dentist might disagree), and can easily do without for a couple of days, I don't consider them addictions. These are:
Coffee in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon (caffeine & sugar)
Cannabis
Chocolate milk (about two liters a day)
Things that do have a disturbing effect on my life (time left to sleep, read books, do entheogens, do the bookkeeping, cook properly for myself, and socialize with family members or friends in real life) are:
Forum discussions
Social networking sites
Listening to loud music, always craving for more
A tendency to frequently fall in and out of love
Some of these 'addictions' were much stronger a couple of years ago.
Downloading porn became somewhat of a daily practice when I first got broadband Internet in 2005, but after some time the interest gradually faded away. Nowadays the majority of these videos literally do not arouse me anymore. It takes much more time finding something appeasing than it takes to enjoy the show, and many times now I decided to just give up. The solution would be to become a paying member for a specific site, but I don't feel like paying for sex, and I don't have a credit card anyway. Moreover, I can imagine becoming a paying member would bring back daily arousal, which I want to avoid. It's a twice or thrice a week thing now, so hardly an addiction.
Since my youth I've refused to watch TV sequels (like Lost etc.) or soaps. By nature they are addictive.
Oh, checking the astrological transit screen, for myself and many others, is somewhat of an addiction, which both simplifies and complicates my life at times. Sometimes it keeps me busy for hours. I haven't done without for longer than a week, and it's one of those first things I do when I wake up or come home from work or a holiday.
My father, uncle, and their parents have all struggled with alcohol addiction. I will never allow myself to become truly addicted to anything.

Aaaaah, next too playing guitar I forgot the most important one (although very much related) MUSIC!!!
Especially Drum 'n Bass, have been listening to it for years and it still gets every cell in my body moving like crazy :heart:

Coffee is really an addiction for me. But I think I benefit from drinking it daily (just one or two cups). I am attempting to switch from coffee to yerba mate though, because as a caffeine source I think yerba has a better effect and is more healthy.
In stressed periods I sometimes develop a weak tendency to drink alcohol in the evening habitually for relaxation, but I think this will never get serious.
My most serious addiction I think is the internet. There's a list of forums that I check several times per day, even when I'm almost certain that there are no new posts, or when I'm not sincerely interested in new posts. It's like these forums provide me a certain 'anchor point' in my daily life that I regularly need to attach to. This is a bad habit, and I think I can get over it, but not yet.

-Caffeine: I don't like coffee, but I drink it in the morning; I love tea though
-DXM: I haven't robotripped in months, but I still think about it almost night and day
-Cannabis: I smoke a bit more often that I should (highs diminishing in intensity and fun, but it doesn't interfere seriously with my life)
-Alcohol: I don't drink often, but whenever I do I can't go past three-four drinks or I drink until I drop... Mostly with one particular group of people, which I try to avoid. Not so much addiction as unresponsible use that tends to repeat itself.
-Drugs in general: reading about them, thinking about them, talking about them... I sometimes wish I never knew about them, then I look back at what I would have missed.

Internet at first. Really, I don't do nothing, just be here, and going left to right killing time. But if I change setting, go for a travel or something, it usually doesn't miss me, so I don't know if I'd call it an addiction.
