Dyspraxic Adults

does anyone have experience of using alcohol, cigarettes, prescription/non prescription drugs as a crutch? this can be a trait when ppl suffer social isolation and low self esteem I think. i'd be grateful for any feedback on the subject. sali x

Absolutely not no. I have never ever smoked, I very rarely drink alcohol and I have never abused drugs of any kind.

But of course it's possible to me addicted to other things... Pizza is my fix.

My only vice is chocolate. Lovely stuff

Cheescake.... damn writing thats made me want one lol

Here you are Laura... just for you..

I don't really have any addictions but the closest is coffee (In fact I'm having one whilst I type this)

I'm with you there Laura - it was Gu chocolate and vanilla cheesecake for me last night (where's a drooling smiley when you need one). I used to live in Nottingham where they had the cheesecake shop.... it was like walking into heaven!

With Jim on never smoking, rarely drinking etc. It's just never appealed to me, food is definitely my vice.

See I have a very addictive personality. I smoke pretty much all day every day, I drink regularly, use drugs recreationally, even slightly addicted to coffee. However I would attribute that more to the environment I grew up around. Pretty much everyone I've ever known (aside from my family) partake in the above.

I have an addictive personality my outlet is shopping, I don't smoke and I don't like being disorientated so if I do go out and drink I have a limit.

cocaine's the big drug in my city but the idea of putting anything up my nose makes me gag, same with needles.

Apart from some food and shopping, no! I have never smoked, rarely drink and have never touched drugs! Just don't appeal to me at all!

gambling was mine especially when i was broke and bored at university. ived stopped now ive finished
