Re: MOMMY!!! (here we go again)
*sigh*
1. I'm a very heavy smoker, which just may give one or two of my doctors a coronary just comtemplating. I've tried the gum - got mouth ulcers, and can't afford the patch yet. Soon, though. (Yes, yes, built in excuses, I know, I do this with smoking a lot.)
2. I've never tried any illegal drugs except pot and "back-in-the-day" speed. Circa mid '70's. Gave them all up decades ago. However, and this is kind of a big however, as I have the Trifecta of chronic pain conditions and am in pain every day of my life, my doctor has prescribed extra-strength Vicodin. (I want to have a life, which means I have to push myself as hard as I can, and that hurts even worse.) I'm definitely psychologically dependent on the Vicodin. I may be physically addicted. I watch the show "House" and cry because I identify with him so much.
3. I *do* have an addictive personality. I've been aware of that all my life. For the most part, I get addicted to stupid, harmless things. I was addicted to online chat rooms, until one day I wasn't. I was addicted to an online gaming site called Neopets, until I got busy doing something else. I am and always will be addicted to writing. If I don't write, I get horrific nightmares. I think I'm lucky that I hate computer games so much or I'd never get anything done. (I can relate, though, Dravyk, because I've watched my youngest sit bleary eyed for hours muttering "I'm almost on the last level!")
4. Bit of an intimacy overshare here, but I'm addicted to talking to my husband. I actually get physically ill if I don't babble at him about something. Luckily and happily, he has the same condition.
5. I'm addicted to buying books. Another silly harmless thing, until my husband snaps someday and takes the credit cards away.
