Over 30 years of addiction, always had a main one with others in the background! It’s been alcohol, cocaine, pills and gambling. Most recently it was alcohol. I was managing the drugs and gambling but as soon as I had a drink, the other 2 wanted to join in the fun!! 170 days sober today but think I might be getting addicted to food now :see_no_evil::hotdog::hamburger::cookie::doughnut::bagel::poultry_leg::fries:

I am 71 years old and on day four of sobriety. My addiction is alcohol. Getting drunk 3-4 times a week, hangovers, depression, self-loathing. I’m so tired of it all. Glad to be here on this site.

Alcohol, co-codamol, cocain, only take cocaine when I’m drinking, I ended up with a severe back injury years ago which ended up with me getting addicted to codeine, right now fighting alcohol which cancels out the cocaine and tapering off codeine, 2 days in :heart:

I am really happy for all the people on this site that you are working so hard on your addictions. I am at the point where i am vigil about alcohol but I am now reducing the weed consumption. I look in the future to be miserable, very depressed and not enjoying anything about life!! I will have my family and friends complete happiness that I am not doing addictive behaviors. Oh boy!!! I can’t find any happiness!!

Pornography. Got exposed to the worse porn at my dad’s house around 8/9 years old. Still fighting my brain in my 40’s because of this. Come from parents who were addicts, Dad to porn, mom to pain meds. Dad acted out by having sex with as many woman as possible, calling himself “A Breeder.” Mom would fake/exaggerate injuries to get to the hospital over and over to get her ‘fix’. Dad didn’t live with us so it wasn’t until i found his ‘stash’ that i knew what his problem was.

And yet, despite all of this, i’m an incredibly blessed person. Everyone has a inner struggle, a compulsion pulling them to something. This is my War, and i win some, i lose some. But i’m still standing, i’m still strong, and will continue to fight.

I have a pretty addictive personality, I always liked anything and everything to take me out of reality and away from myself.
Pain killers, Self harm, uppers, nicotine, but alcohol was my main DOC. I started drinking at around 16, but it really became a problem around 21 lasting about 3 years, it spiraled fast and hard.
Glad to be living a sober life now

Hi, McCulley - I’m trying to figure out how not to do addictive behaviors. Love to smoke ciggies when I can sneak ‘em (not very smart), have to worry about food cuz I really like to eat - feels like I’m always battling something. I just need to take a deep breath and let all that crap go. I’ve been coasting for too long. Keep on, keepin’ on, my friend.
