Addictions????...mmm....well, I don't know if I have any, maybe I'm a little bit obssesive with some things, but they are not addictions. I think that something that can be considered as an addiction is my gluttony...the food: I always have to eat something. Maybe some people would think that it's a need, or the result of my anxiety but the fact is that I eat even when I'm not hungry. But it's more serious that that, because I have a special weekness to sweets and candies, and cakes...to sugaaar!!!. I eat all kind of things, but I always need to eat something sweet in the day. When I drink tea, for example, it have to be sweet...
Actually, while I'm writing this I'm eating a candy...it's so embarrasing. I don't know if it affects my life in a bad way, but I know that it's not healthy, although I always (and I try to) eat healthy food. But it makes me feel bad, because I create a kind of dependence. I think my life wasn't so different before this, because I have always been a "sweet person" (in a figurative sense; like a person who likes sweets). Actually, my first word, the first thing I said, the first time I talk I said: "cookie" (galleta); maybe in my adolescence it became stronger specially when I got into college. I think all this have a relation with my anxiety, when I have a lot to study I have to eat something. But I think it's not difficult to beat, maybe I just have to foster my willpower, and every time that I had the "need" to eat something, I could try to not do it. And I'm going to start to make sport, so it's nots that bad.
Almost all the people have addictions to something, even when they don't noticed it, but I think that mine is not that bad...it's preferable to be an addict to sweets than to be an addict to alcohol, drinks, cigar or any kind of drugs; though I think that any addiction is bad, because you depend on something(someone), and maybe sweets can be considered as drugs, because your body changes and you feel good an different when you eat them. Maybe a lot of things can be potentially addictive. Sweets are nutrients, but obviously everything in excess is bad, specially when it's accompanied by a sedentary life. Regards,
