Runescape *sigh* I wasted my childhood.. That curse is the main reason why I stay away from stuff like wow...I have no idea whether I'll like it or not I'm just too scared of getting hooked as a wow zombie and destroying my social life.

apart from the occasional crave...it's getting harder by the minute... somebody kill me please and end it all!!!!

Re: Has anyone here ever had an addiction?
Farmville.
In first year at uni I got into it, and very quickly I got very addicted. I would even wake up early to harvest crops, plan socialising around harvesting my trees. I even bought farm cash with real money.
Thankfully one day I just realised it was a joke. They make it very difficult to play without pumping your own real money in. There was quest upon quest, and they were extremely demanding and time consuming.
So I quit, and haven't looked back. Thank heavens. -
Try drinking a lot of water, about 2 litres a day(Original post by Anonymous)
I became addicted to painkillers after having to take 1600mg of ibuprofen and 600mg paracetamol for a few month by prescription. After I was done taking those, I just couldn't handle the slightest headache unless I took at least 600mg of ibuprofen to it. This went on for a year until I realised the whole deal and quit immediately. First week was hard, the pain was just unbearable. Nowadays I tend to sleep the headache off rather than taking a pill - I'll only take one if I can't sleep without it.
It works wonders on headaches! you'll see the results after a few days

Runescape. I wouldn't rest until Elvarg was dead and I was passing my days fishing lobsters :P
Crash Bandicoot. Who wouldn't be?
Fantastically contrived and surreal plot and character development.
Information.
Naan bread.
Porridge.
The Cha Cha Slide (yes, really)
I could think of more but I need to go procrastinate now :PLast edited by Riku; 16-06-2012 at 10:06. -
