The brainz.org website has posted the ten most common addictions. Some of them you can guess easily, but there may be a surprise or two, and you may be an addict.
Not surprising, alcohol, smoking, and drug addiction are there. Technically a smoker is not addicted to cigarettes but to nicotine. Gambling when it becomes compulsive is an addiction.
Stand back from the screen, you may show up in the next ones. Food can be an addiction, when it is used as a way to deal with feelings or sadness, depression, or anxiety. Then, there’s video games. When video games intrude on your life, you have a problem. As, is the case with addiction to the internet. If you get upset when you are not able to be online, you need to reboot yourself.
Sex addiction may be more common than one would think. I mean, just watching TV can get you hooked, because that’s all that is on - no matter the program. Shopping for some people is an all too real problem. Like the others, this can lead to financial problems and relationships.
Finally, here’s one that I would hate to have. Work addiction. I know people that are compulsive workers. They never stop working, even when they are off. It is an obsession.
The interesting thing about the list is that everyone knows someone that possesses one or more of the addictions. Most of the time, there are one or more in every family.
I would add the "Nanny" addiction. They are obsessed with telling anyone and everyone what to do and how to do it. There seems to be an epidemic of this one.
Now you have it, a list of the most common addictions.
Check with your nanny to see which one(s) you can have.
