This is the first step in acknowledging I have a problem/still have a problem in some cases. I guess once you're an addict/become obsessional with something, you have an ongoing struggle the rest of you life.
Things I’m addicted to: 1. Drugs- I will never do coke again because I’ve had enough experience with it in the past to know it’s more bad than a good time, including the occasional dream about it still; Occasional weed is still appealing to me; excessive drinking I can’t do anymore, only if I get really high and need to cover the symptoms from my bf (which is rare). 2. The internet itself, I have to check out my favorite sites to see any updates. 3. Taking personality types quizzes on blogthings.com and other websites 4. Watching/playing Hentai games 5. Ordering food delivery (this is the trigger for my binges binge purge episodes that I'm about 80% over) 6. Painting my nails NOTE: I'm not always engaged in one of the items on this list per se. I've gotten myself under control, holding back ordering food, though sometimes it's a struggle because I want to do it quite a lot. I only recently started to have a real problem with the hentai stuff. Overall, I think I go through phases, at one time I may be more vulnerable and likely to do one of them, but most of the time I am more in control. Once I get started though, it's hard to moderate, and at times I get stuck in an obsessional phase with one or possibly multiple 'vices' of mine at a time.

Alcoholics anonymous or narcotic anonmyous will help you with your drug/drinking problem. it will support your efforts to stay clean and teach you a new way of living.
as for your compulsive behavior i'd suggest you speak to a medical doctor to get the help you need. thanks for posting your concerns. i wish you well. you can learn to be happy, joyous, and free from all your self destructive behaviors by seeking help. first off you need to have the willingness to help yourself. to qualify myself i'm 21 years clean and sober by going to AA. i've lived the hell you feel too but no more. ![]()
