[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 552627"] I feel I have a food addiction and I also tend to be compulsive about certain things so there is that element of addictive behavior in me... however I don't drink much and never have.... if I get a bit tipsy then that is both unusual and enough for me. I have a very natural stopping point which I don't really have with food. And I broke my back years ago and took vicodin for pain. I really didnt have any feeling of euphoria... it helped the pain but didnt do much else for me. As soon as I didnt need them anymore I was done with them. I did experiement with drugs as a teen (eons ago) but again never really got into it, it was totally a social thing for me. So I really have no fear about my ever getting addicted to alcohol or drugs. However I can be compulsive about computer games.... and I could see myself getting addicted to gambling except that I am too practical to risk too much money. LOL... whenever I have been in a gambling situation I have an amount I am willing to lose and then I quit. The food issues however have been life long and continue to be a struggle. And I would love a CD get together!!! That would be fun. I have gotten to know one member, who isnt on much, because it turned out we live near each other.... and we have become good friends. I consider you all friends and it would be great to meet you in RL. TL [/QUOTE]
