I felt compelled to vote yes because I did have a severe addiction to EQ, 8 hours a day 7 days a week during the times I payed.

But since then I don't find myself addicted to anything, I was able to easily stop drinking soda, video games. I could go months without drinking, I don't shop so I'm not addicted to that, don't watch TV or porn too much. I can't think of anything i'm addicted to currently, only thing I could say was EQ but that was a while ago.

I'm so glad you posted just now. I was just reading the WoW forums, and the stupid there was so strong and bad I thought I was going to die. I really needed to read one of your posts that is stupid, but lacks the potency of the WoW forums as a gateway back to logic and reason.
Oh, my God; I care so little, I almost passed out.

Apparently, WoW has sunk its hooks into me. I haven't even visited the Empornium in DAYS.

I'm addicted to sex and anything sexually related. It's really my only vice in life, but it's a big one that has landed me in al sorts of trouble. It's cost me many relationships in the past, and even put my job in jeapordy on several occasions.

I would say yes for me but it's just something you have to be consecience of and it's easy to over come... you just have to decide what is more meaningful to you, X, Y or Z.

Believe it or not I chose no. True I do love my porn but I really don't feel the pains when I don't have it over a certain time. EQ was close as I got to an addiction and I know this mainly because it was so hard to keep from going back.

Actually I take it back. I do have an addiction and that would have to be Computers. I feel kind of on edge when I can't login to a computer and check email or check other sites. I get up in the morning and I am in front of my computer for 40 minutes before I go to work where I sit for 9+ hours in front of the computer. I get home and after a few hours away to spend with the family I am in front of my computer again for another 2-3 hours. Next day, rinse and repeat. There that is my addiction.

Yeah I'd have to agree on that standpoint, I need to have computer access to forums, my music, AIM, my email, all that I check on a daily basis. It's what connects me to the world, and I need that connection otherwise I would be very very upset.

You're asking this on an EQ board?

Not everyone plays EQ 12 hours a day. I can happily go days without playing. That's not exactly what I would call an addiction.

Eh, I was headed for this road anyway, and it was to Jamaica haha. Anyway, we broke that off a while back, or at least I did. I really was and still am in love with her but I'm not about to try to hold her back during high school when we live 1000 miles apart. We still talk but she has a new boyfriend now and I am talking with this girl I met about a week ago. After that whole long distance relationship ordeal I think I am going to go more geared toward sex than a meaningful relationship for the next few years, at least during college.

Live Addictions:
-Smoking
-Halo 2
-Guitar
-Music (good music; Tool, APC, NIN, Radiohead)
-Caffeine
-Sleep (this one's actually a new hobby)

I have an extremely addictive personality...

I find something that strikes an interest in me and I dive in head first and read, research, and buy, buy, buy... I

At one time I had 14 handguns...

At one time I hunted every critter with a pulse... Rifle, handgun, bow, black powder etc

At one time I had 3 EQ accounts that I bought new, no eBay here...

At one time I modified my '94 Trans Am GT with about $16k in SLP and other aftermarket parts (177 MPH in Montana)

The list is long, and I have blown well over 100k in the last 20 years just satisfying my desires...

Yup, I have an addicted personality... and I wish I could stop.

the addictive personality wouldn't be so bad if i didn't also have an impulsive buying habit... i'd have a lot more money laying around.

was up electronics boutique and i'm lucky they didn't have any nintendo DS in stock, because even though i never considered buying one until i walked in there, i wanted to. when the fuck am i going to play a nintendo ds, when i'm so damn busy i can't even play eq2 more than an hour a day.
