Addiction

[soulboy118]

I think I've become addicted, I swear at first I only availed myself of them for " recreational" purposes, for a bit of fun ,I thought I could control my urges but being bored and stuck in lockdown has increased my usage , I find myself using them everyday now , I cant imagine life without them, I crave them ,ive tried reducing my amount of usage but there is just so much of them out there , what can I do , I greedily devour them ,lock myself away to consume them im at my wits end , can anyone help with my addiction to boxsets ?😉😂

Buy a radio,listen to some good drama(and some awful stuff) sport and light entertainment(some of the so called comedy is crap too) and bin the telly or dvd player.think of the savings to your eyesight.

Nothing wrong with a good binge. 🤣

[Jaybird19]

You should have put this in rhyme with the final punchline like Don, but then i would 'nt have believed you!

I have an addiction too Its called HU (my morning pick you up and laugh)

[soulboy118 in reply to Jaybird19]

[Jaybird19 in reply to soulboy118]

[Hidden in reply to Jaybird19]

[madonbrew]

Addictions of these kinds are hard to overcome...especially when you’re so warm and cosy with a cup of coffee and biscuits 🍪...especially chocolate chip! Hmm, I’ve gotten into (I think I’m in denial about it being an addiction) cheesy Christmas 🎄 films on channel 5!!! 🤫 I know!! I know it’s bad!! 😂😂😂

[pepparuby1 in reply to madonbrew]

Oh crikey yes was watching a couple of those between work!!

[Kristicats]

You say that like it’s a bad thing! Enjoy your box sets and relaxation .Don’t forget to save one for Christmas and have a little walk before you settle down. This winter I intend to go for a walk in the mornings , and get snuggled up with the tv afternoon .

[soulboy118 in reply to Kristicats]

I'm trying to keep my excercises up with tia chi and I'm controlling my eating , being on " ongoing" steroids makes that difficult but I've mastered it , im surprised I've not got square eyes ,my mum said watch to much tv and well uget aquarelle eyes

[Badbessie]

Sadly I managed to wean myself off boxsets by trying a talking book. Unfortunately I now need to wean myself off them!

[madonbrew in reply to Badbessie]

😂😂😂

[Gladwyn in reply to Badbessie]

I find it very hard to just listen to a talking book. I keep wanting to turn a page.

[Gladwyn in reply to Gladwyn]

How about wearing sunglasses indoors ? 😎

[pepparuby1]

Haha I’m an addiction therapist - so your self soothing on box sets - well to be fair we don’t want to give everything up do we!!! I’d like to addicted to exercise but it’s not happening 😂

[soulboy118]

Addicted to excercise , wouldn't that be lovely ,perhaps you could help with my addiction to breathing kate ? I've box sets i can't get enough of it at times ,it controls my life ,everything revolves around it ,you know the rest .I used to do some voluntary work atthe local drug clinic addaction ( now cgl) in my home town until it got to much , a few of my old school friend went down that road unfortunately, life in a northern town eh .

Have a nice day kate

Dave

[Hidden]

Sorry can't help, I have the same problem. Currently on Designated Survivor but there have been many others. Don's suggestion might work. Take care.
