MJ is my longest lasting friendship outside of my own sister
Inside this person’s sister it’s too wet to smoke
“But it’s impossible to be addicted to weed.”
- People who don’t realize you can be addicted to literally anything.
I knew a guy who was addicted to ibuprofen. He wasn’t even taking it for pain.
16 year old me was addicted to one part of my own body. Escapism is a helluva drug.
Painkiller addictions are common
Not with over the counter NSAIDs
Half the girls in my high school were addicted to Tylenol
Are you sure it wasn’t Tylenol with codeine?
If half the girls in my school were addicted to codeine, that would have been a major scandal, lives would have been ruined. This was treated more like a minor inconvenience, they all had low grade migraines they treated by popping tylenols all day long. To be honest I’d be surprised if some of them didn’t fuck up their livers a bit.
Huh. Maybe there was some kind of environmental hazard in the school like mold
Coffee
More espresso, less depresso.
Dopamine
Understandable. Can be a good thing though, as long as you don’t take the easy route!

I use an app called Lock Me Out to ensure that I don’t get into bad habits of scrolling too long.
I recommend getting into some other hobbies that require your attention.
Do what I did and get perma-banned from Reddit. Then you’ll just be addicted to Lemmy. 😤
Then you’ll just be lurking all the time lol
(I don’t have an account but still lurk on reddit with adblockers)
I dunno if might help - but I had a problem with reddit (before switching to Lemmy). I ended up putting an app timer on it for an hour every weekday and 2 on weekends. Honestly, it helped a lot for me.
Yeah, I used the LeechBlock browser addon for that. Worked ok, though I was often tempted to override it. 😅
My smartphone. Unfortunately.
Going out to eat. I try to limit myself to 3 times a week.
What about when you hang out outside on a weekend, then that is easily two meals outside.
Do you not hang out outside that long or do you go home for lunch and go back out?
Nah, we tend to either stay home or when we go out to do things on the weekends they’re quick errands and we’re right back home.
What’s your favorite to go to?
On Saturdays for lunch we let the kids pick. Me and my wife work from home, on Tuesdays she gets to pick where we go for our lunch date and Thursdays I get to pick.
The wife likes to pick sushi, panera, taco bell, and a good local burger joint.
I like to pick Qdoba, Firehouse, Burger King, local Indian place, chick-fil-a, and random new places around town.
I knew people who eat out 3 times a day.
They always complained about how broke they were and how expensive life is…
True. One thing that helps is I hate delivery apps. I only use them when work gives out gift cards. The food is always cold and garbage when I finally get it. And not using those helps save money a lot too.
computer/internet
Thinking.
I’m not good at it, but I do it often.
Caffeine. It’s perhaps a boring answer but I have a physical dependence on caffeine.

Benadryl. I have always struggled to sleep.
Oof, I’ve been there. Cutting back of it suuucks
Staying up long in the evening. Might sound a bit weird but there’s a thing called bedtime procrastination, and I’m very bad with it. I’ll try so hard to fix my sleeping schedule but the next evening I’ll again be like “nah we can do half an hour more” which turns into multiple hours, which turns into another day with no energy. However in the evening I’ll feel awake again and the cycle just continues. I’m going to talk to a doctor about it next.
Nicotine.
