What other addictions did you discover?

touching my face and playing with my hair and ears

 

Does watching yourself on the mirror obsessively and making your hair counts as addiction ?

 

the answer is replacement, don't stop those because they're bad,you won't be able to,get something else that's worthwhile and they'll stop by themselves because that other stuff is more important

 

Pmo is by far my biggest addiction I'd say and that's really the only thing I use the word addicted for, but I guess you could say I'm addicted to constantly working on something or improving myself(toxic productivity) in the sense that I have a hard time allowing myself to just relax. For a while I was also hooked on video games, but I managed to take a break and come back to them in a much healthier capacity though. I don't think you gotta take away everything at once if you feel its gonna be too much, some people see tackling their biggest issue as the foundation to tackle the others. But i think you'll also find that as you introduce healthier habits into your life, your need for all of these compulsions in general will decrease.
