Worst addiction?

What in your opinion is the worst addiction you "could" have? You can pick two.
-------------------- Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.

Opiates or Benzos. Benzo withdrawal is more dangerous but they're both bad.

I picked opiates and alcohol. Opiates because withdrawal is so bad for opiate users, and alcohol because it destroys people.

The computer has been my addiction for about 16 years now, it's the one that I truly cannot quit.. drugs are easy to quit, yet the computer is almost impossible. My social life and eyes are not very healthy..

I chose benzos and stimulants, I would have also chosen alcohol if I had 3 choices. Benzos (and alcohol) can kill you if you withdrawal improperly, so I mean, that should beat any other type of withdrawal already
Stimulants can REALLY fuck your head up if you get addicted.

Can only comment on the ones I have experience with and of all the ones I have experience with, tobacco and alcohol are the worst.
I have experience with benzo (among other pills) addiction, and they weren't that bad for me. Once your tolerance starts to climb, it starts to lose it's appeal. I love the hell out of benzos (and other pills) and will gladly eat them like candy up until the euphoria from them stops. My love for benzos is even greater than alcohol and may even surpass weed.
This just never happens with alcohol or tobacco. No matter how often I smoke/drink or how high my tolerance climbs, I can always obtain what I get from them at baseline, it just may take a bit more. So neither really ever loses it's appeal, which means it's a hell of a struggle to quit.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

It depends on an individual's disposition. They can all pretty much be horrific. I can only speak for myself in regards to mdpv and alcohol addiction, and when i think about it i'm not even sure which one i can say to be worse.
With mdpv, recovery was relatively quick and cognition returned in good order. The only lasting damage physically was to my nose. It was rough mentally at first, but i came out ov that quite unscathed. However.... i got pretty much nothing out ov mdpv but depraved memories, and it troubles me to know that a substance i found nearly useless had such a grip.
Alcohol on the other hand has been very inspirational and beneficial towards my growth as an individual. I've learned and applied more insight from booze than i have from psychedelics these last few years. Plus i still found it fun before i had to stop. It has, however, come at great detriment as one familiar with heavy daily drinking can attest. Once at the point where day drinking is necessary to assuage the anxiety for a bit, things can get out ov hand.
It does take much longer to develop a physical alcohol addiction than benzos, but once at that point one has to worry about the same shit physically. And it does'nt last too long... and it can wreck the body... and people you do'nt want to smell it on you can most likely smell it on you.
But alcohol is a relatively cheap addiction to maintain and it's legal in the country i'm in. With illicits like heroin, one has to face the consequences ov prohibition such as fear ov arrest and unknown product quality. Besides the withdrawal terrors, the baggage ov maintenance and even societal stigma has to be taken into account. The worst addiction is'nt about the substance solitarily, but an individual's failure to cope with its consequential maladies.

Not the worst, but the most widespread addiction I've witnessed is co-dependence. The idea that you need to maintain having a significant other is heavily reinforced by society.

Easy toss up between benzos and alcohol. I'm trying to take a break from drinking. I'm not even an alcoholic I just drink beer with friends when we go out to eat and shit or have get togethers. I was at this bar last night and ordered water. It was so hard to not just be like yeah man beer me... Benzos suck the worst. They are awesome but then again you get the same problem with deadly withdrawal. I like some opiates(syrup, vicodin, kratom). Those are cake to kick tho. Feeling physically sick is way better then being mentally electrocuted.

All the addictions mentioned in OPs poll are the worst depending on the person.
I will never be addicted to opiate or stimulants because I REFUSE to try them and I'm at a point where I will never sway from this belief. I would have to be forced into the habit without my consent. I had a pulmonary embolism (extremely painful) and the docs at the hospital were insisting that I take morphine because they knew the pain I would be in through the night. I refused everytime they asked. I'm scared to death of opiates.
Then again, I'm hooked on booze so.... yeah...

I think it depends a lot on the indidual. Have seen meth, MDMA, coke, heroin, benzos, alcohol, ketamine, and MXE completely wreck people mentally. Some really sad things from weed, too. Most of those people had at least tried some/all of the other classes, if not made a habit at some point.
And though not exactly an addiction to the drugs themselves but the excitement, psychedelics can really get into some people's heads and do some serious damage to one's life.

I see it happen everyday with my grandma who buys tickets and reaps the winnings from other people's losses , although she's like everybody and looses more than she wins.. Lottery ahould be illegal with consideration meth is illegal because imo they are Equivlent addictions. I never understand spending/wasting 20 dollars on a single ticket that you get no satisfaction from because I'd feel like I'm getting fucked.

Lotteries are illegal in my state. Any form of gambling, really. But they sell these little "refillable phone cards" at every gas station that are just scratch offs with pictures of phones on them 
I never win more than a free ticket, but I saw my buddy win $300 once.

Chose benzos and tobacco.
I only have experience with stimulants and tobacco, but from what i have heard benzos are worse then opiates, and tobacco is more addictive than heroin.
Since i have never been addicted to opiates, im assuming thats true. Even with my experience with severe stimulant addiction, i dont think it compares to my nicotine addiction (since i was able to quit stimulants but not tobacco).

I've been addicted to Opiates and Benzos, and I agree about benzos being worse.
The withdrawals of opiates are harder to deal with in the short term.
The PAWS that benzos leave your with has you fighting intense anxieties for years. Also Benzos impair your cognitive function incredibly more than opiates.
But for every individual your mileage may vary.

Alcohol. You can buy it and the cheapest ones under 2$ are the strongest you can buy on every corner store. Heroin you have to at least know somebody. Not a store that isnt going to be inconsistent and not there.
Alcohol wds are way worse than heroin. Been deep in both. I'd rather go back to heroin but i cant afford it.
