You certainly aren't alone! I envy those people who don't seem to be addicted to anything. Not that feeling that way will solve our problems.

It does seem from my experiences that there are "favored" addictions for some people.

My hub easily gave up smoking cigs, but giving up drinking was a struggle. (He is now 13 years sober). There are a number of people in my life who seem to be able to give up some addictions easily - but just can't seem to give up the others. (me included)!

Perhaps a T could help you figure out the root causes of your addictions and that could help you begin to find ways to get control. At the same time, sometimes the only way we learn how to control our addictions is to put a dead stop to them - and then the understanding comes later.
