Is it really addiction??

Maybe you know this about me, maybe you don't but I have an addictive personality. Now when I say this I don't mean that I do drugs or anything, because I don't. Addictive personality refers to a particular set of personality traits that make an individual predisposed to addictions. I can't explain why this is, but all my life my parents told me to becareful because addiction to variety of things runs in my family from drugs, gambling, food, shopping, ect.

Well I come into this equation because I notice that I have gone through a few phases in my life that were pretty crazy. I know that all kids go through shoe phases but to the point that you have over 60 pairs of shoes by one brand is what is considered obsesive.



I have seen this addictive personality peek its little head again, this time it was in the form of working. Now I was not allowed to have a job back in my highschool years. So my first job came my summer before my first year in college. Once I got that taste of freedom of making my own money I became addicted. This year alone I fouind myself working multiple jobs at once along with going to school, and I couldn't bring myself to cut back on the stress. My only excuse for putting myself through all of this was " I love money." Would find myself in situations where i could barely keep my eyes open at work and my boss would try to send me home and I would stay. Since being allowed to work I have always worked on my birthday and most holidays.

The newest occurrence that I see coming is my fascination with waatches. I just felt like addressing this before I let it get out of control. This not something that I have made up or that I have super control over. I can control the things I interact with, and I can control my spending. But once I get really into something it just becomes really hard maintain that control.

well this was just something I was thinking about so I figured i would tell you guys. Thanks for subscribing. Lets try to get me more subscribers. Im goin to leave you with this joke:

A man and a little boy entered a barbershop together. After the man received the full treatment - shave, shampoo, manicure, haircut, etc. - he placed the boy in the chair.

"I'm goin' to buy a green tie to wear for the parade," he said. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

When the boy's haircut was completed and the man still hadn't returned, the barber said, "Looks like your daddy's forgotten all about you." "That wasn't my daddy," said the boy. "He just walked up, took me by the hand and said, 'Come on, son, we're gonna get a free haircut!'"
