Both alcohol and nicotine. Corona probably saved me with its lockdowns (though I did go back to hard drinking to some degree after). I still have the odd drink and odd cigarette, but neither are everyday things for me anymore and I can go weeks without either (though on days I do drink, it certainly makes me want to smoke).

Currently battling coke zero. I will dehydrate rather than just drinking plain water (carbonated makes little difference) as I just don't want to drink it and forget about it. As a kid, the place I lived had well water that didn't taste great, so that's probably something to do with it. I've managed to somewhat replace it with a zero-calorie sports drink powder that I put in water. Still, it lacks the mouthfeel and satisfaction.

The other current battle is gluten and thus wheat and everything containing it. This is more-or-less impossible here in Japan if eating out (most soy sauce has gluten). The background is that I likely have Celiac's (dad has it with very rough symptoms starting in his 60s, I'm in my 40s and a DNA test already told me I had inherited markers for it was likely to develop it). I was called "the bread kid" as a child because of how much I liked to eat (particularly homemade) bread. Until very recently, I baked bread and stuff a lot. It really sucks because I really miss the texture and taste of good bread. It's also difficult when thinking about what to eat. "Oh, I've got some pasta that will just take a few minutes to cook" is not a thing anymore. I have to make rice or potatoes ahead or have nothing but meat and veg.

It's not that I kicked it per se. I just ran out of fcks to give.

Coffee ice cream. Could eat litres at a time. Quit over and over, went shopping, came back with more litres.

Then I realised I was lactose intolerant.

How do you realize after quitting multiple times?

[–] josteinsn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Eat two litres. Toilet. Take two pills. Eat two litres. Not toilet.

@tilefan That's weird, it's not that I'm purposefully get rid of addictions, I just kinda... lose interest.

I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I also used to drink a lot. I don't mind a cigarette or a beer or a shot every now and then, if the mood is right and the company is fine, but doing it every single day? Nah.

Biting my nails. By cutting them short. If they grow long I eventually bite them off.

Smoking. First nicotine and then weed.

Currently working on my addiction to junkfood, sugar and general overeating.

Still highly addicted to caffeine and possibly in denial about a sex addiction. But I think I'll keep those two.

  • Xanax
  • Codeine
  • Tramadol
  • Marijuana
  • Cigarettes
  • Reddit
  • Going out to friends houses all the time

Still depressed and can’t face the fact I have another 30 years of work left and it’s killing me slowly everyday.
