Top 5 Addictions
I used to get addicted to video games, I could play for hours and hours, wasting entire days, sometimes going for 24hrs, forgetting to eat, drink, sleep, do my washing and clean my room. A few years ago my urge supsided, mostly because games just don't play as well as they used to, but I have a few other minor addictions.I'm not an addictive person by nature, I get bored pretty easily, and tend to move my attention on to something else eventually. As far as my addictions go, I smoke a little bit, mainly because Viv does, which means I smoke a bit in the morning, and whenever I'm drinking. But I can quit anytime I want.
I drink a bit, but not because I have to. I have other 'urges', but they're not really addictions, I don't have to buy that Nintendo DS game, I don't have to see that film, I don't have to shove my head between those breasts and make blubbing noises. Here are a few of the major addictions in the world:
1. Smoking
2. Drinking
3. Gambling
4. Sex
5. Star Wars
By no means is this a complete list. I'd consider drug taking one of the bigger addictions, but it's not quite as funny as the others. Also don't underestimate computer addiction, it's a proven killer.
And I may poke fun at Michael Douglas, but I'm not really attractive or rich enough to be a sex addict, I'm sure it's a terrible problem that takes some effort to own up to. And I'm sure his wife takes pity on him.
I think that, at least in the U.S., coffee is a huge addiction. People just don't realize it's an addiction because there's such easy access to it. Most workplaces have a coffee machine, and my college campus has at least four different coffee shops strategically positioned so at any moment, any student is within walking distance of a nice, big, over-priced cup of java. In fact, I'm trying to quit. It's hard.

I know what you mean, my girlfriend is addicted to caffeine, she HAS to have some everyday, and if she doesn't have it at regular intervals during the day she gets a massive headache. I've been trying to get her to cut down as well, but I don't think it's really much to worry about, except the cost!
