Coffee. Ketamine if I'm not careful. Also, the psychedelic experience. The only thing keeping me from tripping more often is the knowledge that my trips will be better if I don't do it often.

I said no, but I should have picked yes because I am addicted to caffeine hardcore.

Caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol and sugar all count by the way.
I have to say yes because I am actually addicted to kratom, but thankfully that is my only addiction.
I am also a daily cannabis user but I don't consider myself addicted to that.

Yeah, I'm addicted to coffee & kratom for sure. Tobacco as well but that's more of a psychological addiction for me (oddly enough).

Right now, just kratom. But even kratom I can stop with really no w/d symptoms, so I don't know if it's just a habit because I have a bunch around so I take it everyday.
I managed to get off alcohol and gabapentin now for 6 days with very minimal withdrawals so I wouldn't say I'm addicted to that anymore. Just that I'm impulsive and will go through periods where I drink a lot.
I'm trying not to for my own health. So far going pretty good.

Toss and wash. We cant discuss vendors or sources for kratom but the sponsors sell it.
We have a whole forum about kratom for all your questions.

Yes, I'm an Addict.
336, Kratom tastes like ass. I've been taking it for a long time, but still can't do the toss 'n' wash. I make capsules.

It's bitter and has a really unpleasant texture due to its fine ground. It's mostly just hard to consume because it doesn't dissolve in anything and tends to get stuck in your throat if you try swallowing the pure powder. The easiest ways to take it are capping it, making a tea with it, and toss and wash, in which you basically throw a spoonful of kratom onto some water in your mouth and swish it around before chasing it with more water and swallowing. It's not pleasant, but it's worth it for the effects. I would say it's worse than shrooms, which I don't even find unpleasant in the slightest, but I'm a fan of culinary mushrooms.
Red vein strains of kratom are usually more sedating, whites are usually more stimulating, and greens are somewhere in between. It depends on what kind of effects you're looking for.
Kratom isn't for everyone, tons of people get zero effects from it or just nausea. I would recommend giving it a shot though as it's pretty cheap and has tons of benefits.

Nobody gets zero effect from kratom unless they get horrible stuff or don't take enough. I don't think anyone is immune to its effects.
The taste is terrible but with mastery of toss and wash its fine, use apple juice or something for the toss and wash instead of water if the taste bothers you.
I like all strains but generally red veins are the place to start.
Greens are probably the second favorite.

Dont use the extracts, especially if you are new to kratom. Kratom is for experienced users if anyone, almost everyone agrees its best to stick to plain leaf.

Yes Its the best lifestyle I have ever known- I call it flower, leaf and bean- cannabis, kratom and coffee... but although I use all three every day, I am only truly addicted to kratom, but I love them all and use them all each day for life enhancement.
In the past I have flirted with alcohol and etizolam addiction but never went to deep with those and now that I have kratom I will never be addicted to anything else again I dont think because it meets my deep seated needs.

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

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

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.

I get horrible rebound anxiety from benzos. I'm so glad after all the times I've used opiates and benzos I never got addicted to them. Fucking alcohol got me though

Try etizloam. It mimic benzo and alc effects, keeps withdrawls off, and much safer for you. I think its harder to overdose and also easier to quit

That's what i'm withdrawing from actually and the rebound anxiety is fucking terrible. I have tense ass muscles in my face and neck and I have this weird spacey feeling like I'm tripping on a low dose of acid. This is after 1-2 mg a day for 2 months. So i really wasn't going overboard or anything. I don't see how people take 10+ mg a day and live to talk about their experiences

A lot of people say etiz is actually worse than other benzos
I don't do benzos though all they do is knock me out and give me amnesia

I can see a lot of ridiculous shenanigans going down in that state of mind
Some people keep them around in case of bad trips but I'd say that's for pansies

i have low dose dependency on clonazepam, but it's prescribed and i don't abuse it. it helps me. i know someday i'll need to get it out of my life though. just not right now. too much going on and i'm barely holding it together as is.
