Replace one addiction with another?

[Randy]

Some people replace one addictive behavior with another.

Can you think of an example?

Have you or someone you know done this?

Yes, most definitely. My dad quit smoking and he immediately replace cigarettes with food. He'd snack frequently, would eat a lot of things that aren't good for you, and he started piling on the pounds. It didn't matter to him, because he had to feed that new addiction. Didn't care how, just needed food.

Never been addicted to anything and don't plan to.

Some people replace bad addictions with healthy ones but take them too far. Like when people work out too much and turn into muscle weirdos!

I've been addicted to forums ever since I was in my teens, but sometimes I would phase them out a bit and become addicted to some other type of hobby. But, for the most part, I always seem to return to forums, even if I am gone for an extended period of time.

How some people find the stamina for that is beyond me. I can't stand porn or masturbation, but in the rare instances when I partook...once was plenty.

When I was a 13 year old boy and had just discovered how magical my right hand could be, I did it until I was sore. Damn....I didn't think there were any draw backs to it.
