"I'm an Addict! I need help!" competition

[riptideslave]

Unless you’re wearing a steamer in summer, chances are you probably don’t sweat while you’re bodyboarding. Once you’re back on dry land however, a healthy man-stench is always gonna help when you’re attempting to spade the ladies, and the cats at Junkie reckon their new deodorant is some of the best out there. They’ve given us a tidy package of Christmas goodies to share with y’all, and to win it all you have to do is tell us below what you’re addicted to. Maybe it’s collecting stamps, or accruing old-school Nikes? Whatever it is, just post your answer in this forum and we may just send you some Christmas flow!

Hi my name is Boogs and i'm... addicted to Barrels.
It all started at the age of 15 when I hooked into my first slab, since then it hasn't got any different. You know when you have a whole day pulling into barrel after barrel and all you can see when you close your eyes are barrels? Well thats what I see every time I blink, 24 hours a day 7 days a week! Its insane, I walk under a low hanging tree and its a barrel, I walk under a small bridge, a barrel! I used to lie on rugs and pull the corner over my head just to get a little fix. I'm now 25 and nothing has changed, I'm still a heavy abuser of liquid cylinders, and I'm never quiting!
Thank-you for listening.

[Mike Bain]

Hey my names Mike and.... i seriously am addicted to waves and bodyboarding. I literally think about it all day every day, school, home, bed, anywhere even when im out, dreams everything haha. I just run pictures through my head continuously of me dropping in on huge waves and getting a pit, re runing boosts over and over. Its like having movie premires in my head. And if im not doing that i run images or parts from movies of mitch rawlins, ryan hardy, ben player, everyone. Or i will just draw pictures of waves and spots im plannig to go to. I just draw pictures of them, tons of them! If there are no waves at the beach, i go set my trampoline up to my porch and jump off it and do big inverts and reverses to imagine bodyboarding big waves, i can do it forever. I cant stop thinking about it ever really. I usally sit in school for whole classes and just see perfect waves rolling through, no one riding them, usally pipe and places like that, just perfection. Well i guess you could say that i really am addicted to bodyboarding and waves!

My addiction isn't one that's rare or bad. However, it is all-consuming and impossible to shake. I'm addicted to new experiences and doing different things in my life. It permeates every aspect of my life, even comparatively mundane parts that might seem repetitive unless you look carefully. I love trying new food, travelling to new places, meeting new people, trying new tricks, surfing new spots, riding new boards, mucking around with new effects on photos I've taken, listening to new music, reading new books, trying new strategies in video games and learning new facts about the world - and that just scratches the surface. It's said that variety is the spice of life; if you could package it, I'd buy as much as I could get and it would never be enough. When it comes to new things, I'm a hopelessly addicted, proud Junkie.

I was an addict…
Addicted to the cute little creatures that came from within the magical outside layer of delicious whipped milk chocolate that is the... Yowie.
My addiction started as a grommet some 10 years ago. Snack after snack, toy after toy, my fingers were cursed with the ability of combining 4-5 pieces of plastic into a solid figurine.
Little did I know that my relatively harmless hobby, stole my innocence of a young fun-loving coastal boy to that of a little devil, indulging in the seven deadly sins.
Cheating, lying, deceiving, stealing, anything to support my habit to get my hands on the rare, the unusual, and the new items inside my Cadbury hit.
Dollar after dollar, collection after collection, nothing could suppress my gluttonous ways, that was until my savour came.
The introduction to my first bodyboard. A 42" manta typhoon picked up at an action. From there the story goes…. Sins turned to virtues, with a mind state of harmony, one with mother earth. A new addiction formed.

Hi my name is Jon, and I’m an adrenaline addict...... That’s right you herd me I'm an adrenaline junkie. But hey you know what they say? The first step is to admit my crazed addiction has made me powerless and takes over my life. No more denial!! So that’s why I'm here today, confessing, depressing the values of my addiction.
At first I didn’t think there was anything wrong with me, charging big waves, dropping down the biggest faces, jumping out of plains with nothing but a parachute. I thought it was my friends that had something wrong with them, always scared backing off and never going as deep or not going at all as myself. Until one day it hit me square in the face. I love this shit. This is what I live for. Chasing the thrill and rush of the intense blood rush through my body. YEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Nothing better then living life to the fullest.
So please. Help me. You’re all I've got, I need help.I'm affraid of whats next.
Keep it real

Hi, my name is conjob, and I’m an addict.

I am addicted to music. All types of music, there is no music genre I am not addicted to.

I am addicted to the power chords of the 70's punk movement, from the clash to iggy and the stooges, the buzzcocks introducing me to another form of addict through 'orgasm addict', addicted to the 2nd punk movement of hardcore rock thrashed through at a million beats per minute from black punks the bad brains to henry rollins lyrical genius through black flag. I am addicted to the humor of NOFX front man Fat Mike through to all punk bands of the same era including pennywise, bad religion and lagwagon to name a few. How ever my addiction doesn’t stop there, it extends into all other areas of music ranging throughout the years.

I am addicted to the hip hop beats of Public enemy and N.W.A drilling into my head 'F_ _ _ tha police', and that '911 is a joke in yo town' all the way through to the lyrical masterminds of Lupe Fiasco, Talib Kweli and Kanye West to name a few. I’m also addicted to these beats in Aussie form, introduced through Hilltop Hoods in the nosebleed section I later went on to discover great artists to get my fix including two lovely released this year from Katalyst and Urthboy.

Yet my addiction just gets deeper from here. From the twisted rock of the butthole surfers, to hard rock specialists fronted by Manyard James Keenan's vocals, Tool. From Indie rockers Bloc Party to the electronic beats of datarock and klaxons. This addiction even stretches to the depths of electronica and beyond, what starts at daft punk, certainly does not end there. The electronica, electro, jiggy jiggy booty rock depths of my addiction go through numerous aussie deejays ranging from bang gang to bag raiders and through international funky beat setters boys noize to justice helping me stick to the Bee-Eee-Eight-y.

Once again, i must admit, this addiction goes deeper, to little time to explore in this one session, however there is my addiction to the pop of the cops, the horror of misfits, the Sri Lankan/pommy beats of Mathangi Arulpragasam Aka M.I.A, the grooves of rockers black lips, the soulful songs from gnarls barkley, the germs and their punk revolutionary rock, the pogues alternative brilliance.

Needless to say this addiction is a good one. One that cannot be summed up in paragraphs after paragraphs, but can be in one sentence: Music enhances my life like no other addiction could.

hey, my name is joe, and for about the last year i have had a serious addiction on WAX! can you believe it? wax for gods sake. it comes in different smells and sizes, and for different water temperatures. everytime i walk into a surf shop, i atleast buy wax. I've got every kind of wax you can think of, from nomad to five daughters. recently i broke my rheopaipo floater 43, and before i found my wax addiction that was a rubbish board, before it broke it was the best board you could ever buy. my wax addiction has got me a nice box of wax and alot less cashed up. Help me! I'm addicted to WAX!!!
