My Strange Addiction.

Tweet

Today, I have been binge watching the show on Discovery Life called "My Strange Addiction". I'm seriously at a loss for words. I am a very open minded, laid back individual and I respect everyone's right to live their lives the way they choose. I can't help but wonder, how on earth did you look at a piece of drywall and think, "MMMM, snacks!" So far, the episodes I've seen today have consisted of people with addictions such as eating drywall, eating plastic, carrying around a dead spouse's ashes and EATING them (is that considered cannibalism?), and pulling hair out of a shower drain. I'm not judging these people by any means. I, myself, have an addiction that some may consider strange. Ok, almost EVERYONE considers it strange. I am obsessed with cleaning my ears with cotton swabs. It's caused me several ear infections and even a 5 day stay in the hospital because my ears were swollen shut from constantly attacking my ears with cotton swabs. I can't help it. It feels so good! I really am genuinely curious how this comes into people's lives. Are they lacking nutrients? A lot of people are saying they experienced some sort of trauma or abuse as children. I haven't experienced anything that makes me feel like I need to constantly clean my ears (probably 5 times a day, sometimes more, sometimes less), I just like the way it feels. Hmmmmm....
