It could be anything. But if it’s causing you issues and you can’t stop it’s probably an addiction. For me takeaways have been a problem for many years. I just seem to get 1-3 takeaways a week without fail and recently they are about £20 a pop. I’m not in the best paid job and it does cost me a lot but I just can’t seem to shake the habit away.
I am also addicted to nicotine but I went from cigarettes to vaping and now to pouches so it’s progress I’d like to think. Still expensive but it could be worse.
I never drink these days and I don’t do drugs any more. You could probably say I’m addicted to my phone but who isn’t these days? Anyway it doesn’t get in the way of me living my life in any way. I also used to be a gambling addict when I was on a mental health drug and it was really really bad for a while but as soon as I switched meds it went away thankfully
