I'm addicted terribly to opiates and benzos, can't go a day without them. Or maybe a few days without. I HAVE to have weed everyday or I have severe nausea and stomach pain and I hate life,essentially go insane. I have multiple unhealthy addictions. Porn,Ketamine,alcohol are secondary but still somehow unavoidable. I intend to change some of that hopefully

Same, was using klonopin and Ativan in high doses daily for a few years. Shit was HARD to kick. Scary even
Benzos to me have a true devilish addiction to them
I felt like i was hooked for life
Can I ask how long and much you used? Have read some of your past posts and you seem really much more sober the days. I'm at the moment tapered it down on 3mg of xanor debot per day. After 10 years of benzo abuse and amounts of 20mg+ day combinated to alcohol and different drugs. I used to think that it would be impossible to stop at some point but nah you get past the withdraws. anyway
 for you brother. I know it takes a lot self control to jump out of that train.

Weed. Its a passion of mine. Its a gift from god, medicine for mind/body/soul, responsible for me graduating college and being as intelligent as I am today. It opened my mind is all I can say.
Also addicted to orgasm, and video games, movies, music, etc. These aren't addictions they're what make me happy and what I live for, and what I work hard for.

I can't stop smoking the sweet ganja for the life of me 
Also the internet is pretty damn addicting as are computers and videogames/ movies.
I am also a bit of a cultured beverage addict, when I am without them I crave a delicious fizzy kombucha or ginger ale or anything sweet n bubbly 
I know, I need help

My drug of choice is cannabis, I wouldn't consider myself addicted I just highly enjoy it - I'm sure some people would see differently though

Yeah I smoked flower all day every day for a decade but I am not addicted. I know because I always quit cold turkey when I travel and its no problem at all, no withdrawal whatsoever, no problem.
Whereas i have been a daily kratom user for about 2 years and if I go cold turkey on kratom I really feel a harsh difference.
Kratom took a LONG time of heavy use to develop a real physical withdrawal but it did.
I still think it has made my life FAR better then it would be without it and also it has allowed me to quit and avoid all other addictions. Before kratom I might be drinking 6 beers a day or taking etizolam, now all I need is flower, leaf and bean and I feel healthy and totally in control and productive.
Kratom is an addiction but for me its a sustainable, balanced, even healthy addiction.
For example my doctor wants me to take pharmaceutical antidepressants but with kratom I absolutely don't need them. I would much rather be on the natural ancient leaf then the SSRI anyday, especially since SSRIs are addictive and cause far worse withdrawal then kratom.
I like coffee but I am not addicted to it at all and only drink it on work days for the most part, 1 cup in the morning usually is all.

Vape daily but that really isn't hard to stop at all so I wouldn't call that an addiction. Same with coffee I can take it or leave it. Cigarettes are a bit more difficult to give up but if I can smoke lots of herb for the first few days then it's not that hard to quite either, I've done it for extended periods a few times. I do what I like to do and steer clear of substances that would make me do what they wanted me to. My definition of being addicted to something has to do with whether you have cravings and uncontrollable urges to keep doing/taking it and not just the frequency with which it is done.

Get a better vape if necessary, vaping is scientifically proven to be much less detrimental to your health than tobacco smoking
We have a vast forum here on the Shroomery dedicated to vaping

It may sound silly to some of you but I feel like im addicted to pot to a certain extent. Like if i really have to quit I will but unless it's crucial then 95% im going to continue smoking. I've quit in the past but always end up coming back to it..

I am the same way, I will never quit or not use cannabis unless I am in another country.
But when I do go without, there is no withdrawal.
To me withdrawal is an essential component of addiction. You might use something every day, but if it doesn't cause you withdrawal when you don't have it, you are not really addicted.
Thats how I see it anyways. The components of addiction, in my opinion, are dependence, withdrawal and harm.
Even if you have dependence and withdrawal, but its not causing you any harm, you could argue its not a full addiction.
A full addiction means you need it every day (dependence), you withdraw if you dont get it (withdrawal) and its messing up your life but you still cant stop (harm).
Thats why Exercise isnt really an addiction, I may need it every day, I may even feel shitty if I don't get it, but working out every day isnt hurting me.

Weed aand GABAergics for me. I haven't taken benzos in 4 days after two months of everyday use and I feel like complete shit. I'm trying to get myself some time to recover and I"ll probably be back at it in another week or two

Yeah. I mean I have some self control which is good. So i can take pretty frequent breaks. Its just that when I decide to get some its hard for me to not use them everyday. I find them pretty awesome recreationally just for chilling which is definitely where the problem lies.
