Re: Be Honest
Depression is not an addiction, it's an illness. One that requires medication to treat. Such medication should not be considered an addiction but rather a necessity.

Re: Be Honest
I agree with you randallw but for the purposes of this poll just humor me. I figured for the purposes of this pole that in order to be "your" addiction it had to preoccupy most of your day to day thoughts.

Re: Be Honest
OK then for the sake of the question I'll say Depression. Computers might be second I guess. I can't say the other stuff because I abhor addiction. I don't drink alcohol or caffeine, or smoke.

Re: Be Honest
I don't think I'm addicted to anything. I certainly like a drink, and if a doctor were to tell me I can't ever touch alcohol again I think I'd cry for a week, but I can happily go for arbitrary lengths of time without booze.
Food too. Obviously I can't go without food any more than anyone else, but i could survive quite happily without snacking. (Narf: Look away now, this next bit may be disturbing for you) I was once told I had to cut cheese out of my diet altogether. I'm a huge cheese lover, but I cut it out completely for about 6 months. Turns out it wasn't making such a huge dent in my cholesterol, and now I can eat as much as I like=-)
I could easily become addicted to computers. I often wonder what I'd have been like if I'd never got together with my missus. I think I would have descended into serious, hardcore geekdom and never seen the light of day from about 1998 to the present day.

Re: Be Honest
I'm mainly addicted to computering: gaming, programming and map designing (on many kind of games)
I'm too addicted to science-fiction and science-projection.
geeksworld is my first think every morning.
I next launch my self-iterative AI, but it still doesn't work. But one day, it will!

when Star Wars is science-fiction, "2001, space odisse" or "Foundation" are more Science-projection.
This is more a continuation of the actual science than a general delirium
