I smoked nicotine for about a decade from age 16 to 26, I felt shit for about a month while giving up.
Alcohol I used to drink a lot, as in drinking vodka mid week for no reason whatsoever, but my heart began skipping beats so that helped me give that up pretty quickly just out of fear, which also helped me give up smoking around the same time.
Caffeine I'm still addicted to. But l try and not have it to close to night time.
Gambling I just have a set amount I put on the lottery.
Painkillers I took some for a wisdom tooth problem and made up excuses to take them after the problem went but I didn't have to much of an issue with stopping those I just had maybe a weeks craving for them when I stopped.
I've tried lots of other drugs that felt really good or at least stimulating but never felt the urge to take them on a regular basis. Extacy, speed, weed, cocaine.
The best feeling was extacy but I wouldn't even know where to get it now, plus I have all kinds of paranoia about getting banned from driving if I for whatever reason got tested for drugged driving.
I tried cocaine a few times, I sometimes think the stuff I tried must have been weak because I didn't feel much from it at all and yet all these rock stars are making songs about it and demand for it is so high.
I probably have all kinds of mini addictions to short term stimulus despite long term consequences.
I don't think sex can be an addiction and if it is we pretty much all have it. I don't know of anyone who hasn't risked at least some kind of long term consequence for short term sexual stimulus.
Also I did have a friend who was heavily addicted to speed, I saw him in very paranoid states, last time I heard from him he was still taking it, hanging around with someone else also into it. They could stay awake for days but it definitely has some weird mental affect on people.
If anyone tells me they know someone who suffers from psychosis or something like that I usually always ask if they take speed or coke because it normally is related to that.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
