Where can I find a list of healthy addictions?
24 Aug / 09
Confusion asked:
I really don’t think this site is a healthy addiction. It spurs laziness and stupidity. Gets your brain either on a “I’m getting the fuck outta here” mindset or a “I’ll give quick and stupid answers to fit in” mindset. Neither say much for the value of the website.
I want a list of healthy addictions.
That, or a way to work toward making an addiction healthier. Say for example, using this site to be a better person instead of just being a short answer addict.

I’m addicted to oxygen and water, with a little food from time to time.
Hmmmm. There is no such thing as a healthy addiction. Because even if you are addicted to doing good things, it is possible that you get a mindset of doing good things, and forget about being a good person and ignore those around.
The nature of addiction indicates a loss of control and self-centeredness.
there are no “healthy” addictions, some just won’t kill you.
There is no such thing as a “healthy addiction.” Being addicted to anything is bad for you. You need to find balance in your life. Everything in moderation.
i wouldn’t be able to stand it myself if i gave a shorter answer than what i was thinking–i always have much to say, sometimes enough to get me into trouble for it. i can’t say i’d call this a long answer, but i really don’t have much on the subject–however, if you get the list, could you get back to me? thanks.
That’s a contradiction:the term “addiction” implies something that has control of you, not vice-versus, which, in and of itself, is not healthy.
Yes, that is something of a contradiction of terms. I.e. if you were addicted to running and lost a leg in an accident, it might have a more profound effect on you than if you had a more balanced workout routine that would still allow you to feel fit. Anything that is all-consuming in action and thought is a problem.
I use answers for fun sometimes to write humorous responses, seriously when people are looking for serious advice and sometimes I am just wasting time. With some thoughtful answers I receive good feedback and that makes this forum worthwhile.
go to a massage par lour and make up a list of healthy addictions. “don’t forget the specials they are well worth and healthy to get addicted to” good luck.
There are no healthy addictions. Habits limit you from make good new choices every day.

healthy condition would be eating healthy everyday and exercising everyday or at least 3 times a week.
Good weed, good sex and good music. Not necessarily in that order…
I am glad you suckered me into your gripe about this site. I must say why are you staying here if you think it is just an unhealthy thing to do?
I love this site. It is the best way to handle my depression about grief that I have ever tried. It lets me get my mind on helping someone and is never boring.
On this site, I can pick questions I am knowlegable about and answer them and no one interrupts, no one tells me to hush, no one does any of those things. I mean can you say that for the real world? doubt it.
It relaxes me and I can sleep better if I do not sit and think of bad things in my rest time. I can think of the answers I have given and then I feel better instantly. I hope you can see my point to this.
It is a way of helping others in a positive way. I have met many people from other countries and now I look at the wars and things there in a persona; way. I know someone who lives there. It is a way to bring me into a more personal relationship with something bigger than me and my depression.
