When people hear the word addiction they automatically think drugs or alcohol, right? But let's dig a little deeper into addiction.
Working away from the homestead for the past 4 years I have seen so many different addictions.
1) the shopping addict, buying household items.
2) the food addict, buying carts of food everyday.
3) the clothing addict, daily clothes shopping.
4) the doctor addict, yes this is real, people going to the doctor, sick? Maybe, but I believe it's for attention.
5) sex - porn addict, can't work a shift without watching porn.
6) the phone addict, always on the phone.
The list goes on and on, and these people with the above addictions aren't on drugs or drinking.
Sometimes when I look at a person I ask myself, what's their addiction?

When I think of addictions I tend to think of gambling because that is so prevalent in today's society.
It can be done in person, bought to take home or done online.
I am thankful that I am too tight to have that addiction, but I do have an addiction to coffee. I love it.

Pretty is addicted to diet sodas. She's always buying more and drinks several cans of it at a time.

My husband was a food hoarder/addict. The pantry, fridge and freezer were always packed with food.

Addiction is life. It's hard to be totally balanced in any part of life. Not saying that as an excuse. I'm a sugar addict so I don't drink booze.
