We live in a crazy world.I know that, you know that, everybody knows that. But it's ok ? I had a lot of vices. I can strongly say that I'm addicted. Let's enumerate them: drugs, smoking, drinking, playing video games, gambling games, roulette, fishing. In fact, a vice is that thing that you are doing and forget the purpose. Everything I can't get out of my mind I called a vice. Let's say that I was addicted to these vices which can ruin my life. But I had the power to override and now I'm just addicted to smoking.
What vices doyou have and why ? Do you think that something controls your life ?

I thought for a while and I can say, there is nothing like which can control my life totally..No I am not addicted, though its quite difficult to start my day without a cup of tea and i like to spend my most of the time on internet but I am also comfortable without them..I have a lot to learn, lot to do...I am blessed with so many good things..How can I forget all that and leave my life to be controlled by such things..

I became addicted to drinking once, and it's something that I was able to quit now. I don't know, I just grew tired of it as time passed by. I woke up one day and realized that I don't want to drink anymore. Also with playing games in Facebook. They once became a part of my routine but now it's totally eliminated in my system. Just like that I forgot how I used to love doing all those things. But there are some things that I still love doing like watching a lot of TV series, surfing the internet, listening to music etc, which I've become addicted to but just in moderate now.

I am addicted to two things only , drinking Coke my soul mate and writing in the internet. These are the things inseparable to me. A coke , a soulmate and internet makes my life , my day complete already. Guess , i can't survive a day without these things. They are vital to me and i draw happiness from them.

My only addictions include sleeping to much and having fun. I think in this day and time it is healthy to have fun. However I could use some help with the sleeping to much.

I'm addicted to Starbucks. Yes, I love Starbucks. I could literally have food and drinks from there everyday. I like Chai Tea Lattes, the Pumpkin Spice Latte, the Salted Caramel Mocha Frappacino, and the Lemon Pound Cake. I know I shouldn't, but I cannot help it because it is all so good.

I think the vice in me now is working, I can't stop working even at night, I go on mylotting and earn, at day time I go to office and work for money, I never stop doing what I do now, sometimes I do feel tired but is it something else to help me?

I wouldn't really say I am addicted to anything I probably drink more than I should but I'm a student and most of us do.I don't smoke or gamble and I only play video games occasionally.I don't know if you could call it a voce but my main problems are procrastination and putting off important things I need to do.Quite often when I have got exams to do I do no where near as much revision as I should or need to do.And if I have an assignment to do I pretty much always leave it until to near the deadline before I start working on it.I'm lucky to have done well enough to have got into university.

I do smoke but I am able to control it. I think that the only thing that I am not capable to control is being online everyday. It has been my way of life ever since I started working homebased since 2010.

I was addicted to MyLot. And I guess I could consider it as one of my vices. :)

Playing Video Games, definitely. My name was based off of a game if anyone does not know, and I don't think I can really stop. It's rather addicting really. Most games have a gambling aspect in it, so I (was) addicted into that.
I'm so glad I got out of the gambling district. There's nothing good coming from that to me and it's a waste of my time.

I think my only addiction is the internet and my laptop. I simply need to have them around me and to be surfing the internet or doing something on my laptop, be it reading, watching a film, listening to music, browsing or whatever. If I can't do that then I don't know what else to do with myself. I wouldn't say it controls my life, I would say it facilitates my life because if I do have other things to do I will do them, I'm not a slave to the internet but I couldn't get it out of my life. Never.

I think that most people are addicted to something in their lives, whether that be a food, a person, a game, or something else entirely. I think that one of the things that I am addicted to at the moment is eating healthily, not that that's a bad thing. I have been trying to lose a lot of weight over the past two years or so and because of this I know that I have changed my diet for the better. But it has been so fun to see the changes in my body that now I don't think that I would ever really want to stop eating healthily and go back to the way that I might have been in the past again.

Thanks a ton for posting this discussion. Well to be very honest, i am addicted to anything that u have mentioned above and whatever i do i keep it within my limits so that it never goes away to my head and later on create troubles and nuisance for me. Addiction can someone ruin your life completely and we should always make it a point not to get addicted in anything.
What say?

I think my vices for this time is internet surfing and being active in Social networking sites. I do not know, I think my day would not be complete without doing that.Second, I am into drinking coffee.I always asking for a coffee break. I drink during breakfast, and twice in the evening.
