Sugar addiction
I have finally decided I really want to change my eating habits as due to binge eating bags of sweets and chocolate when upset/worried about family, I have gone from a size 12 to a 16, and am unhappy with the way I look and feel. I have started writing a food diary and intend avoiding all sweets and

I want to fee better
It was brilliant when I finally beat the
addiction
. However sine then, I get extremely bad colds, Bronchitis and ended up with Asthma and it has got worse and worse over each year since giving up smoking. I have been seeing the practice nurse in the past 3 months who has been a great help.

Dopamine agonists turned me into a compulsive monster. Have you had similar experiences?
My doctor knew I had a history of alcoholism and thankful I stayed sober, but the
addiction
to gambling made me steal anything and everything, be arrested, and nearly become homeless. 18 months after that dose increase, my psychiatrist found some articles about the Requip link to impulse control disorders

Smoking is not a Habit
Smoking is an
addiction
and too many people say and write that it is the hardest
addiction
to beat. This is not true. There are no physical withdrawal aches or pains. We are easily distracted from thinking about lighting up. The hardest part of quitting is a sense of emptiness.

It is weird
I would much prefer doing morning and evening every day. it is really like an
addiction
isn't it? The fresh air, the peace, being aware of your body, the wanting to get there, to prove yourself you can do it...... It is weird.

Great Progress
(It is important that you do not take these tablets without a prescription as they can cause
addiction
and need to be monitored through regular check-ups with your GP).

Former Anorexic Still Recovering after 25 years.
It was like an
addiction
on to it's self. Thinking the number and estimating how much it is going to be and how small can it go. I was 78 pounds at my worst and I am 5'5". But I mostly hovered In around 82 to 83 pounds at the time. It was 25 years ago.

Lots of people "Beat themselves up" for being greedy but could it be, that genetically you're more susceptible to
addiction
and are struggling against what are essentially primeval urges.

Reset to Zero Monky
Just like previous occasions where I relapsed, I was long past the nicotine
addiction
& I wasn't "craving" a cigarette. I only wanted something/anything that would calm the turbulence I was feeling.

New Pathways Part 3
now some will build those pathways on food or alcohol or perhaps other drugs, but those of you who have read my posts before would be aware that I have deliberately avoided substituting one
addiction
for another, which has left a gaping hole with nothing but that 6 lane expressway to fill it.

Is Vaping just you still smoking kind of?
I understand stopping the nicotine
addiction
is hard and opting to still have nicotine in your system by inhaling it threw vaper seems like a healthier option but nicotine is a poision and isn't ment to be in a humans system, so I say your still smoking and putting yourself at risk when your vaping,

If it were ALL about nicotine
addiction
, we would all have gotten by with no more need than 5-6 cigarettes a day to satisfy our dwindling nicotine reserves, so why 20+ per day. 3.

4 MONTHS/124 DAYS SMOKE FREE
I was brainwashed by
addiction
to believe smoking was the answer to stress but I have come to find out it was actually a MAJOR cause of it. After that first month, my stress and anxiety levels were at the lowest I could ever remember them being.

Liver cirrhosis
Rather than a
addiction
I think it was a lifestyle. Although I now have diabetes, nerve damage to my feet and short term memory loss due to oxygen deficiency.

Help comes in many forms.
This is, largely, nonsense, as the
addiction
portion of the drug is used up in the body to lessen the pain and assist in calming the mind. It is now a widely accepted fact that when the pain is controlled then the sources that caused the pain in the first place is able to be cured much faster.
