How does it feel to be called the most addicted country in the world? Based on tobacco use, alcohol consumption, and screen time a new report from Go Smoke-Free finds the United States No.5 for the most addictive personalities. I can name my addictions right now.
1. Food (especially chocolate)
2. Television and other screen time.
3. White flour products like donuts, breads, biscuits, etc.
Yeah, shame on me.
But, we have less addictive personalities than Australia, France, Latvia, and Romania.
Thoughts?

I have a good addiction with emotions. Some addictions are learned from childhood but others peer pressure. When I was 11, I fell into the peer pressure I wasn't cool if I didn't smoke. So I did. Tried to quit over 7 years and finally did when I was pregnant with my first born. Only because I wound up in the hospital in tachycardia and the doctor said the smoking will cause it more and kill me and my baby. Finally was able to. Then picked up eating. Been a battle since.

Eating is so much better than smoking.

@celticeagle If eating fairly healthy it is for sure.

my addiction is my down fall gummy sweets & treats
I can eat them all day long but they're not good for me.

I eat all that and chocolate, white flour items, etc. I might die from eating it all but will enjoy every minute whether I become diabetic or something else. Life is just too short not to enjoy all it has to offer.

@2ndchances24 .......I wish I liked vegetables more. I am trying to incorporate more of them into our diet. Of course, I want to live longer, am too curious and want to stick around a while. I am slowly getting on the stick and both exercising a bit more and eating better. Or maybe less of the bad stuff.

@celticeagle Let me say this, you eat what you sow
in life & let me tell you this, it was NO FUN when I
crashed cause I DIDN'T eat right, & I wish what I
went through on NO BOBY, with getting poke & stabbed
& poked AGAIN with a port going in your arm.
& all the hard heavy meds stuffed in your body
nearly dying TWICE, & going from hosp to hosp.
I thank my heavenly father who stood beside me
every step of the way & he showed me things that
made me wake up & smell the coffee & gave me a
blessing for a 2nd chance in life, & I'm thankful he did.

I agree with your choices. Guilty on all counts. Have a good evening.
