I'm addicted to a site called RedFlagDeals, which is the equivalent of Slick deals for the states. I find myself endlessly scrolling for deals on the forum and buying things I probably don't even need, but I do it anyway since the item is relatively cheap. For example a car charger that was like 10 bucks... and I don't even have a car.

I think it's out of boredom as well, and it's gone to the point where I could even tell you a specific product is a good deal or not just by looking at the current price of it as I probably subconsciously index all of the prices in my head some how from scrolling through it.

I need a new hobby.

Nicotine currently. I get addicted quite easily. At the moment it's difficult to stop weeding in the garden. Something satisfying about pulling out Dock Leaves. In the past, running, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, sugar, video games, phone apps, gambling, sex. Pretty much anything with a short term pay off, I'm helplessly drawn in. Eventually it stops being pleasurable and I unwind it. No point fighting it, better to let it play out.

Stay strong, buddy. Keep replacing those bad addictions with healthy ones. I have a bit of experience with unhealthy addictions myself. Been clean a long time now.

Appreciate your compassion brother. I'm on the mend now, not the sauce XD. Being present in the moment is my new gig.
