Addicted To Us

Your PC's on, but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your keyboard rattles, your mouse shakes
Another post is what it takes

You can't read, can only write
There's no doubt, you're uptight
Your body's fixed, you can't leave
Another post is all you need

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to us

You see the signs, but you don't heed
You're postin' at, a different speed
Your heart beats, in double time
Another post, and you'll be fine a one track mind
You can't be saved
The Cellar is all you crave
If there's a clone left for you
You don't mind if you do

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough
You know you're gonna have to face it, you're addicted to us

Might as well face it, you're addicted to us
......Might as well face it, you're addicted to us
............Might as well face it, you're addicted to us ...

I have the opposite of an addictive personality. My instinct is to compulsively throw things out if I don't use it frequently, and deny myself indulgence items because I don't really need them. I saw an episode of Law & Order once that claimed this behavior is still a subset of OCD, same-coin-different-side to being a hoarder. Many times I've regretted getting rid of things that I later needed, nevermind how mad Mr. Clod gets when I throw out something that belonged to him, so I've worked pretty hard to temper the behavior.

So what you are saying is that you're addicted to not being addicted.

I'm a bit that way with clutter around the house. I'll chuck all sorts of stuff out, then wish I hadn't later.

I once read a book on fung shui that said getting rid of clutter is good for the mind, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it. That's not why I do it. It just gave me a good reason on how to explain why I do what I do. (no one around here is buying it though)

There is nothing about Reality I like. I prefer my altered sense of reality to anything I've experienced in my life straight. The only reason I don't do all I want of anything, is that it will kill me. I know that if I stop keeping myself in check, Ima die. And, besides, who's getting hurt? Me. Nobody else. I don't have, nor do I want, a wife and/or kids. If I check out doing what I do, nobody's gonna be boo-hooing, nobody's left w/out an income, nobody has to wonder who's going to take care of them after I'm gone, nobody has to pay for a funeral or a grave.

If you actively enjoy whatever it is you do, and you have no desire whatsoever to stop for any reason, are you an addict?

This rings a big bell with me. I've kept shirts that I thought were too scruffy for the charity (=goodwill) and worn them myself because they're not worn out yet. I did manage to throw out an old baking tray on which everything stuck and buy a new one that doesn't stick at all, but it took a lot of persuading. (Baking is a lot more fun, now!).

I do watch the pervasive mania for
New
NOW
Whether I can afford it or not!!!!
with some bemusement, but I am probably too far the other way ...

I get addicted to habits, but not to stuff. I'll watch a full season of a TV show in a day, but I don't drink or smoke or own many possessions.
So... kind of?

Maybe it's not personality

A recent study from Sweden found adopted children had roughly double the risk of drug abuse if their biological full- or half-sibling had similar issues.

I can't wait for my treatment to start tomorrow. I'm addicted to counselling.
