*straightens flatcap, mumbles something about all this being fields, and shuffles off hobbling on walking stick
Really?
Peer reviewed academic study please.
Or are we, as I suspect, like most other people in this thread just taking their own opinion and presenting it as fact?
Fucking hell this place has really gone downhill in some respects.

But, to be fair. Maybe addictive personalities do exist. But 99.99% of people who say "I have an addictive personality" don't. They just have a normal personality that likes to do the things it likes. I've never met someone who said "Oh, I don't want that Mars Bar. I have an addictive personality" then ate the Mars Bar and went fucking bonkers, straight down the shop with a credit card to buy all the Mars Bars that exist, never surfacing again until they's ate every Mars Bar they possibly could.
& when I say people I know like to sniff all the drugs, drink all the booze etc. That's when they're out, on a Saturday, and they go home on the Sunday. Some addictive personality, if you're back at work on Monday having put your "addiction" in a drawer for the next 5 days.
"When I enjoy something, I like to do it" would be a much more accurate statement than "I have an addictive personality".
Right wait the now and I'll go get my opinions peer reviewed so that they meet Owen's criteria. Fucking hell.
Is it safe to ask for a massage again now?
Exactly the point I'm making.
Peer-reviewed academic papers = of some value in discussing a scientific subject and trying to present something as being fact
Your opinion = of no more value than anyone elses, you're just making a stab in the dark until you back it up with some sort of evidence
No offence, but you, your narrow experience of other humans and your mars bar related theorising aint worth the bandwidth it's occupying. Not a personal attack on you here, same could be said for most people who have chipped in on the subject.
Ah, but the thing is, we live in a culture where doing almost anything for the enjoyment of it is frowned upon, yet it's legitimate to do certain things if you have something wrong with you. Therefore, we rationalise and legitimise our decisions by painting them as the consequences of illness. When actually, the only thing wrong with most people is that they think they have something wrong with themselves.

Why are we talking about it then? Why do we ever discuss anything beyond what we're having for tea and what the weather is like?
Let's just discuss Eastenders. None of us are experts. None of us have peer reviewed academic papers on the subject. Obviously can't talk about it then.
So, what's Phil Mitchell been up to?
Well, I doubt anyone will be presenting anything as definitive scientific fact whilst talking about Eastenders.
I can't be continuing as I'm doing - spending money on drink, clothes whatever, when I owe the bank. £4,000. And as long as I've those cards I won't stop. I've tried.
Besides it's embarrassing having to delete my posts each day.
I'll drink the rest tonight (as I've been brought up not to waste). And it's going to be hard watching you all get drunk / use each day but others have - and succeeded. I may pop to TDS more n help people again. Loved doing that before.
And reducing suboxone. This is going to be somewhat interesting - trying to stop three addictions ar once but I can do it.
Evey
Is it just this one subject we're not supposed to talk about unless we're experts, or are you going to cut about the site shutting down all non expert opinions on all topics?
What? That's why I was saying lets just talk about Eastenders then. We obviously aren't allowed to talk about anything beyond that without spending a few years becoming an expert in the field. So, Phil Mitchell then?
