    Has anyone here ever had an addiction?
    As the title says really, just curious if any of the good users of TSR have ever suffered from any addiction be it from something like heroin to pain killers to cigarettes or maybe even something more fun like sex :rolleyes:
    Personally i've had some issues with Diazepam, Codeine and cigarettes and with hindsight would never have touched them with a bargepole ...

    Hardcore porn, started when I was 11 got worse and worse until I just wasn't satisfied with real girls. I'd just masturbate to the most far fetched porn you could imagine: tranny, bdsm, violence etc many times a day. I was so saturated to extreme sex that I found it difficult to even get with girls. I viewed them simply as objects of desire rather than real people.

    Decided to quit last year. Haven't viewed any porn at all since then and I've severely cut down my masturbation. I actually feel a lot healthier and have much more pleasurable orgasms.

    If I could go back in time I'd never watch porn, it corrupted my mind and ruined my view of sex.

    Sure there isn't anything wrong with using pornography but at 11 years old it screws with your head. Maybe if I actually had a decent sex education things would be different.

    I first heard about that game when I was 11, all the 'kool kids' were playing it, so I decided to try it out at the end of the year, then the next academic year started, I was 12, and everybody was laughing at me for playing that game, and these were the same people who were playing it the year before.

    I was introduced when I was 8, and was the only person who still played it in my high school and I'm a girl so meh.. Can't say it ever has or will bother me though

    Exercise and calorie counting.
    Approx. 17 months ago I strained both of my calf muscles because of compulsive/excessive exercising and I still continued to exercise because I'd become incredibly anxious if I stopped for even one day. I somehow seemed to convince myself that I would put on a load of weight if I skipped a day. At the time I started consuming 700 calories and went down to 500, after which I had to force myself back to 700. 15 months ago I realised that I had developed an eating disorder and I told my sisters who wouldn't believe me, then I told my best friends who were sceptical but didn't wanna say anything so I continued spiralling down - when you have absolutely no support from those who are closest to you, what do you do? I ended up losing 3 dress sizes (went from a 14/16 to a 10ish) and still, my sisters and best friends are sceptical. My sisters did actually confront me about it several months ago, and when I say confront I mean shout, scream and scold.

    In the last 11 months I made four/five attempts at getting back to normal but I failed due to relapsing after each attempt. I'm hoping to make my final attempt at getting better this Ramadan.

    Self harm. 5 years. It's been a good year or two since I was in the whole "cut multiple times on a daily basis" mode, but the last time I actually cut at all was maybe two or three weeks ago. It's a long struggle, but I'm getting there
