Mine is porn addiction. I don't ever want to become a coomer but I think I've became that already a few times in my life. I shamefully have watched porn, saved porn images and visualized people who're probably not as into porn as I was. I really do wish to be done with porn, it's done nothing for me. I've masturbated for many years and I feel like it has hollowed out my mind. I don't even get that much enjoyment from masturbating as much and the porn hasn't really gotten any better so I guess I can say that I've seen porn when it was at its best when I was younger and everything. Now all of it is just loli shit, artificial shit and that's gross or the fetishes have gotten too niche and unappealing. I look around me in porn communities and I haven't found anyone worthwhile to speak to or associate with. Everyone is six feet under in porn that there's no way for them out.

Smoking. Quit for seven years and picked it back up. Worst decision of my life. Was cutting back on vaping to quit when the pan happened. Allowed myself the vice for stress. Don’t plan on trying a third time. Too much effort.

This. I know ‘nicotine’ is already here, but it’s not the same. Confused the hell out of me when I was trying to switch to vaping that I’d keep going back to cigarettes - “I’M GETTING THE NICOTINE, WHAT THE HELL?!”, and it wasn’t just habit, it was overwhelming need to smoke. I finally figured some of those other 2999 or whatever chemicals in there must be addictive too, or something, I don’t know. I’ve quit drinking, when I was a daily drinker at risk of a seizure because my body had grown so chemically dependent on it. I’ve quit countless other ‘behavioral’ addictions. NOTHING, was as hard as trying to quit smoking. Until, thank the powers that be, I met vaping, and after a couple months of back and forth, was able to transition to it entirely. Haven’t had a cigarette since, and it’s been at least 10-11 years. Eventually lowered my nicotine to 0 mg, then gave up the vaping. Haven’t done either since. That was, probably 8-9 years ago now. I still get the odd craving to vape. Zero cravings to smoke up until last year, first trip in my life to Vegas (and two more since). The casino environment with everyone smoking, I don’t know what it is. I look at it with the rose coloured glasses occasionally while there - but then quickly remember how hard it was to shake, and how happy I am without it.

I switched to vaping when I got together with my husband, and it was fine, I actually hate vaping, it hurts my throat but was on vape for 4 ish years. My husband recently quit vaping (he really made it look easy, two weeks and he was off it), and I …just moved back to cigarettes, roll my own to save the buck. I tried to quit at first, right after him, did the lozenges, but it’s put off right now. It doesn’t even take me a trip to vegas to get those rose colored glasses, even just a movie or show where they smoke in it, I’m like “yes, I need smoke now” like some fucking cigarette gollum. I’ve quit many things over the years. My brain won’t let me stop yet. I feel like I’d need rehab for it to be completely honest.
