What Are You Addicted To?

We all know the classic stereotype junkie. You know, the guy on the movie screen aching for a fix. He looks real desperate and urgent. Sweaty and in a hurry. While I wouldn't say I get all that bad (not like that sweaty mean dude in the B movie,) there are some things I'm addicted to. Yes, in my life there are a couple things I feel I just cannot live without, or I will die. Here is a couple on my list.
I'm addicted to....

* Relations with my spouse (to state it politically correctly!)
* The internet
* Perhaps coffee, or soda (If I try real hard I can break for up to uh 2 months max!)
* Red Rooster hot sauce! (I cannot eat a meal without it!..What do they put in that stuff, I'll have to look into to that.)
* Blogs and Radio Newscasts
* Ebay
* My inbox
* Chewing gum (they probably joke about it quite a bit when I'm not looking-but no has ever said anything-this one really relieves stress for me.)

I can probably think of more if I really analyzed it with more focus but that's a good start. What about you? Do you have any die hard must haves in your everday life?

Aside from Blog catalog, Oreo cookies.

After I fall off the cookie wagon you can find me twitching form the sugar buzz, my fingers pruned from the constant dunking, my clothing stained with cookie crumbs drenched in milk. Yes, the face of addiction is ugly.

caffeine is a vitamin, not an addiction.

  Well doing everything you said, every day, does not really mean it is an addiction.
  But if not doing one of them on a given day makes you sick, this is addiction.
  Like not brushing your hairs for example...

Ok Princess Quello, I can relate to a few of your "addictions". And so can a few others I think... But heroes? No...

They're only addictions if you can't stop when you want. ..and we all have a crutch. I smoke and can't stop. I get weird just by thinking about quitting. ..and the more someone tells me I should quit, the more I want to smoke. Now THAT'S an addiction. Maybe I should try "The Secret" approach? I'll tell the Universe that I'm a NON-smoker. I'll let you know if it works
