Hey Christina! I think this is a pretty interesting thread.

I'm just now learning about addictions and addictive personalities so I don't have much to add, but you've really got me thinking about stuff. I used to smoke lots and lots of weed, but when that was no longer an option I started taking a lot of Benadryls. Whenever alcohol is available I binge drink, but once it's gone I'm over it as long as I have Benadryl handy. It's sort of like I have to have something or I can't function. It's the same way with all my addictions, whether it's self harm, drugs/alcohol, a certain food, playstation games or whatever. If I stop doing one, I replace it with something else. That's so weird!

I hope a few more people respond to your thread and provide some insight.

Aahh, the night is calling, and it whispers to me softly,
"Come and play". Aahh, I am falling, and if I let myself go
I'm the only one to blame.

I'm safe, up high, nothing can touch me, but why do I feel
this party's over?
No pain, inside, you're like perfection, but how do I feel
this good sober?"

Thanks for this!
