Why is it impossible for me to get addicted to anything?!


Question: I smoked cigarettes for three years, just because I got them for free and I didn't really understand that it was such a bad thing. Maybe there was a social aspect of it also. Then all the sudden I was like, fcuk this is dumb, and just stopped, right then and there, and haven't had another one since (it's been about 2 years since).

My mother has had a terrible caffeine addiction ever since she was around twenty. if she goes without caffeine even for half a a day, she is prone to fainting and blackouts. I drink caffeinated beverages, but can go a very long time without them.

While taking prescription pills, I have never become dependent.

I have done cocaine (multiple times), also never got addicted.

Once I was told that I just "lack the addiction gene", but I have read from multiple sources that addiction can't be traced to any specific genes.

Why don't I ever get addicted to things?

I'm the same,I've watched people all around me get addicted to everything and anything.I just don't have that nature,I reckon I have everyone elses share of will power.If I don't want to do something then I bloody well don't do it,It's as simple as that for me....it's called being stubborn lol.

you only get addicted to things when you really enjoy or rely on things.

maybe your just different :}

ask a psychologist,dont try to become addicted to anything! your lucky!

You have to really like doing something to get addicted.

Perhaps you should consider getting a new hobby.

no idea...
but its pretty stupid to show this to the entire world.

but i guess im more afraid of the police getting in contact with me, than you are.
