Hi guys - I am new on the site. Here's my story - well part of it!
I have self harmed for almost three years now so I know what it's like to struggle with
addiction
. I know how hard everyday life can be. The constant fear of parents finding out. Friends finding out. The reactions people have when they see your scars. I know.

Desperately Depressed and Need to Overcome Food Addiction
I'm 32, a size 28 female, and I have a partner who has just managed to turn his whole life around from a drug
addiction
to now losing weight. He loves me dearly, and hasn't put any pressure on me to change, but I want what he's got. We both work really hard and are good people.

You have nothing to lose except the risk of developing an
addiction
to expensive hi-tech clothing. And lots to gain - fitness, energy, better sleep, better mood, the ability to wear clothes you put aside because they were too small....

Addicted to codeine, anyone else?
I know there are people out there that take these tablets and probably take way more than me, there's also more serious addictions like heroin and other hard drugs, so whenever I tell people about my
addiction
they just laugh at me, like it's not serious, so I suppose I never took it seriously.

What makes you want to bang your head against a wall?
I know Nicotine
Addiction
is a real illness and it must be so difficult…but if you aren't even trying, then I just hope you realise how lucky you are to have the choice to throw your lungs away.

My introduction
Now my weight is piling on every day and no amount of diets or workouts have worked so far (I've tried rawtil4, the Kayla Itsines Programme, and I usually have a balanced vegan diet, with a sugar
addiction
, and do a lot of walking & yoga). I figured if the NHS plan can't help, I'm doomed!!

addiction
as well which is hell on its own.

3 months of freedom, 6 months back in a cell, but today I am ready to STOP
It is crazy what the mental side brings to this
addiction
. Filleting my decision on what day to quit (I decided last week) the chest pain is back, front right side of my chest, ribs, and back. Just like before. Severe anxiety. And I need to keep off Google!

Hooked on prescription painkillers
I am now concerned that he is trying to reduce my steroid intake for PMR - currently at 13mg after a bad flare at 7.5mg - at any cost but that this maybe actually leading to a long term
addiction
