Closet Addictions - Free your soul

I love toobs & getting my hair wet
Howdy Folks,

Just thought I'd open up a small sanctuary where we can confess our weird and embarrassing addictions with repercussion-less anonymity. Feel free to share yours to make me feel better.

I recently downloaded a free mobile game (The Walking Dead: Road to survival) to fill in times where I'm bored waiting in a line, on the loo or want to not think about work or serious things.

Having served its purpose... I now find myself unable to put this game down and I check in on it at every opportunity. When I wake up in the middle of the night for a wee break, it is impossible for me to do so without quickly logging in to check progress and do some in-game bits and pieces.

Anyone else have something similar happening in their lives?

Sure, I'll share. I am seriously attached to DoubleU Casino on facebook at home and Slotomania at work. I can play casino games to my heart's content. I can put the games on auto and check in to click accordingly when I'm not actually doing work or things around the flat. I don't play games on my phone.
I'm sure I have other addictions but for now, this will do :)

Do you think you could go cold turkey? Does it affect your daily life? Do you sometimes decide to stay in and pull some slots as opposed to going for a walk or meeting a friend for coffee?

To be honest I just did them randomly. But if I was ranking them most to least it would be:

Yes and no to all of the above at varying times. It's not a dyed in the wool, I must do it, I'm a recluse type of thing. Shift work gives you scope to constantly move your boundaries.

I have a few weird addictive behaviours that I have never told ANYONE.

1. I am a neatness freak, and I can't bear mucking up my clean bin liner, so when home alone, I often take rubbish outside and put it in my wheelie bin to keep the bin inside "clean".

2. I can't eat a snack unless there is a tv show on that goes with it, and I have to wait until the actual show is on before I eat it Eg rice crackers, cottage cheese and carrots or a bowl of popcorn goes with Bold and the Beautiful.

3. I colour coordinate my pegs on the clothes line, clothes in my wardrobe and tea towels/towels. And everything must be folded with a certain order and precision or I feel anxiety.

4. Every night before I go to sleep I mentally walk through my childhood home where I lived till I was 8, the home I lived in before mum and dad divorced. I mentally walk through the front garden, up the stairs on to the veranda with no rail, I remember the lounge chairs mum and dad sat in, the tv in the corner the buffet, the kitchen to the left, our bedrooms to the right. Mine and my brothers bedroom - we had bunks, mum and dads bedroom, the side of the bed my dad slept in (I used to sneak in every morning very early and snuggle with my dad), the purple bathroom and the laundry, then out to the backyard where we had a mulberry tree, a broken down tractor, a chook pen and dads shed where my brother and I drew pictures on the walls in chalk.

5. When I cook I am always mindful of colour, sometimes I add vegetables not because I want to eat it, but because the plate needs green or red.

So there you go, I have freed myself!!!!

I am pleased that I am not the only one who likes peg coordination, but I am not diehard about it. Sometimes I do it purposely, sometimes in holding several pegs in my hand, the one that makes it's way to the front matches the one already on the line. That gives me more pleasure as it's unexpected.

Never owned a gaming console. Even as a youngster.
But I am an avid historian of ww1 and ww2. So I bought a ps4 and this game.
A first person shooter and I have never even used a controller.
But with age brings wisdom and cunning.
Having great fun sniping, anticipating and baiting these young whippersnappers with their twitch reactions.
Ol dogs are ol dogs cos they know a thing or two about strategy.:)
