| Just getting started | Hello, recently, I realized there are couple of things I can't live without. Coffee, for example: if I didn't have one (two, three..) a day, I feel even physically sick! Or my habit to stretch my whole body before I go to bed: I can't fall asleep without it. I hesitate whether as well count my bad habit to turn on the laptop before I even open my eyes here, because 'lack of computers' make me feel physically better (no head+neck ache ;-) you know). I'm pretty sure everyone is addicted to something, may it be a chemical substance, food, thing, person, habit or whatever. What are you addicted on? |

| So many things that's supposed to be bad for my health except for drugs... I am addicted to something - a state of being- which I'm not: truly "good" people make me melt inside. Their entire being, their eyes and everything else simply breathes out kindness. I think I could call that "beauty". But where have they all gone? |

| I guess the worst thing I have been addicted on is cigarettes (coming out on that one ).In my mind, I knew it was bad for my health, that it was expensive etc. I had been on and off for many years. When I was feeling unhappy, stressed, whatever, I would go back to it. Then I started to think about it, think about why I would fill me up with toxics. In the process, one day, I just said stop. I want to have a choice, I want not to continue hurting myself when hurt comes from the outside, I want to smell good, basically I want to be free. I guess addiction is a very complex and individual process. Now I spend too much time on the computer, but it does not impair my day to day life, I even can say it improves it in many ways. @ xyz: that was a heart melting post ![]() |

| Definately coffee. I only usually drink two cups a day - one in the morning and one when I get back from work, but if I miss that morning one in particular I'll feel terrible for the day. I'm also partial to a nice cup of tea in the evening - particularly Earl Grey. |

| Programming. I have an itch for programming. Heck, I've even started a thread on the ubuntu forums programming channel asking what I can do to find more programming projects. |

| Interested participant | I have a very addictive personality, partially because of gentics, partially of just because who I am. So i do my best to stay away from ANYTHING addictive (inculding things which I'm sure many of you would laugh at me for calling addictive.) My big addiction is probably caffeine, but I dont drink coffee, and i really dont like energy drinks, so its pure soda for me. another "addiction" i would have to say is my computer, while I can (and have) gone a month without it, its deffinately addictive. |

| Level 37 Bureaucrat | SILICON! I can't get enough of those wonderful bits. I'm completely addicted to various technological gadgets most notably my computer and the Internet that have me practically confined to the house sometimes. I guess I'm pretty hooked on Coca-Cola most of the time but I put up with the headaches for a few days and I'm clean I tell you ![]() |

| Computers for me too, I can't remember the last time there wasn't a computer on in my room for an extended period of time (more than a few hours). Although I turn my main computer off at night, servers stay running, and my computer turns itself on in the morning before I get up My laptop is normally always in my backpack, and I always have that since I'm at uni during the day, so yeah, oh and I can't live without the internet. The other thing I'm only aware I can't live without until it's taken away from me is electricity, I'm lost in a powercut (literally if it's at night ) |
