What Addiction People Don’t Realize They Have?

[@colonelrobertsjr.7882]

Some of us have an addiction to salt and really have no awareness of it. I'm doing much better now than when I was a teenager. High blood pressure is not a joking matter. If you can avoid using too much salt, find some alternatives that will help with seasoning your favorite foods.

I'm surprised Caffeine didn't come up in this. I know so many people who can't function without their daily coffee, or energy drinks or get headaches without it. No one bats an eye when someone says I can't go a day without coffee but if they were to replace coffee with alcohol they would get a completely different reaction. Caffeine consumption is so normalized in society that not a lot of people realize they likely have an addition to it. I used to drink between four and six shots of espresso daily and when I cut that amount down to two to three maximum, I dealt with headaches, irritability, and general fatigue that lasted a few weeks.

CAFFEINE! My niece/nephew's mother didn't want her son to take narcotics when my nephew broke his collar bone cause his dad is an addict... However, she's been giving my niece, a FIVE year old, two tablespoons of ESPRESSO in the AM. 🤦‍♀️

[@SleepyBookworms]

What was her reasoning on giving a five year old spoonfuls of expresso??? That's super young on any caffeinated substance to be given 😮

@@SleepyBookworms it's a mommy and daughter morning ritual to make and drink coffee together. 🙄 Maybe she Meant teaspoon but even still, that's a lot no matter what. She's all "I'm too exhausted to argue and I'm just surviving." Because she's a single mother of three kids, two of which aren't biologically hers, all three being my drug addict brothers but like ... Her mom and me and my mom watch them 4-5 days a week whenever she works, with both the 5 yo and the 11 yo and she pays me $20 each time to watch them from 6ish AM to 7 PM. So like, that 20 is basically just a return on what food we buy them and snacks.

I love watching mean girls malfunction like a robot after getting rejected. You can tell it’s some sort of fatal error in their code and they DO NOT know how to handle it

Doom scrolling is a massive one for me.

[@myrezz8833]

I can never understand if I doom scroll. Like what does it actually mean?

[@adamb89]

Only thing I'm addicted to anymore is alcohol, and I'm slowly winning that battle too. Alcohol use has declined by about 50% in the past year alone.

Cake. I feel sad if I can’t have cake once a week. 🍰 😅

So: betting, touching self, altering self, entertaining yourself, and buying too much. 😮

Sugar is the most addictive substance known and has also caused more deaths than any other substance.
