Your Thoughts: Addiction or Habit?
I am going to list a few scenarios and would love to hear your thoughts on if the scenario is an addiction, habit, or something totally different.
1). You drive the same way to work/store/friends/family/etc. never wavering off your track. When you do have to take a different route you become irritated or uncomfortable.
2). Every morning you have to have coffee before you start your day. When you don’t have it you are irritable and extremely crabby to those around you until you have had your coffee.
3). After meal cigarette is a must have regardless of where you are at. If dinning out at a restaurant, you will step out to have a cigarette regardless if you have other guest with you.
4). Avoid movie theaters because you cannot smoke while watching the movie. You use excuses like “I will wait for it to come out in the stores.”
5). Always chew your food on the same side of your mouth and a certain amount of times before swallowing.
6). When faced with having to attend a non-drinking gathering, regardless if it work related or not, you will have a few drinks before heading out and possibly even bring a bottle with to keep in your vehicle or you will avoid the gathering completely, or attend for just a brief moment to make an appearance and then immediately afterwords drink – using it as an excuse to “award” for even attending at all!
7). Must always sleep on the same side of the bed when sharing a bed however, when you have the bed to yourself side doesn’t matter.
8). Cannot go to sleep at night unless everything is in its place. Will check more than once to make sure nothing was overlooked before retiring for the night no matter what time it is.
9). Must use something (drug or alcohol or even natural remedy) to help you fall asleep every night no matter how tired you are.
10). Check your email, Facebook, or other social outlets numerous times a day when it is not work related. When you are unable to you become anxious or irritated.

I am a creature of habit. I don't like to travel alternate routes, but it doesn't bother me if I have to. I'm not a drinker, so I couldn't relate to those at all. I'm a reformed smoker, and that's worse than a non-smoker! I think most of these are just habit, although some border on the obsessive compulsive side.
ReplyDelete#2 is me in a nutshell. I even have a nightshirt that says 'Don't even think about talking to me until I've had coffee." I have a sweatshirt that says, "Give me coffee and nobody gets hurt". Are you trying to tell me that I have a problem?
ReplyDeleteNumber 7 is something else. Call it habit if you want. I sleep on my right side and I like to throw my arm over my girl while we sleep. If she's not there I sleep diagonally across the bed. I do not consider this a problem of any kind. I don't think I would get bent out of shape if she asked to sleep on 'my' side of the bed either.
