Not really a substance, but I think I have a COTH/internet problem.
when this site was down last night, I was at a loss with how to wind down when I got home.

Chocolate ice cream. Must be Hoods.

[JGHIRETIRE]

I gave up cigarettes - now it's SunChips. Go figure.

[Jo]

Obviously not food related... But I have a serious nail polish addiction - over 89 bottles.

[catknsn]

Coke Zero, McDonald's Caramel Iced Coffee and Diet Rockstar. No, I don't care if they are good for me.

Non food addictions: iphone Scrabble, Bejeweled Butterflies.

[mroades]

Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale

[Donkerbruin]

Burt's Bees is my drug of choice. I have at least one tube on me at all times!

[alabama]

Water, multiple tumblers a day. I can't stand to be trapped in my car or sitting at my desk at work without water.

And chap stick - MUST have the lip stuff.

[PonyPeep]

Soda (it's been a very hard wean off of it because of the braces) and Monster, although I'm not allowed to have Monster so it's a very rare treat, but God it's SO good.

[MyGiantPony]

Milk - the 2 of us go through 2-3 gallons a week, and most of that is me.

Gotta have my coffee every morning.

Cigs. I've tried to quit so often, but it is my stress crutch and I can't seem to give them up quite yet.

It's the caffiene. If you try to give it up again, go into the process armed with some excedrine. That also has caffiene but will help with the transition.

Good advice. I may try that. I too am a Coca-Holic. Used to give it up every year for Lent--never made it through.

But I don't actually think it's just the caffeine with Coke. I think it's the caffeine and the sugar and whatever that secret ingredient that in the early days had people asking soda jerks for Coke in this way, "Give me a dope." After all, Dr Pepper also has caffeine but much as I like it I've never "needed" it, whereas that first sip of Coca-Cola every day always gives me the big deep "ahh" sigh of a smoker's first-morning drag.

caffeine pills and Diet Coke..... yes, I have a problem.. I don't drink coffee cause I hate the taste but I take a half a caffeine pill first thing every morn I need to get to work. Then by the end of the day, I've probably had about three diet cokes.

At horse shows, I buy the little mini diet coke cans and do them shotgun between classes. Then they don't sit around and get warm and it's not so much that I have to pee in the lineup.
