Undoubtedly most GBS posters have been addicted to something, and most still probably are.

Ten years ago I was in an icu for a month on a morphine drip, little button I could press would dose me up but then I'd have to wait five minutes before I could press it again. The day the morphine doc came in and said I'd be taken off early I feebly swore at him and threatened to attack him if he took my morphine away. Several days later it was Christmas and I was writhing in my bed going through withdrawls. It was terrible but thankfully I was too sick/weak to do anything about it and in a controlled environment I was weened off of it.

How hosed up are you and what addictions have you kicked or are trying to kick? To what depths have you fallen to feed your addictions? Pictures if you have them please.

It is debatable but video games and Internet addiction disconnects you from real life and the older generations whose knowledge will die with them
