Strange Addictions

[troubleinohio]

i was just replying to a different thread awhile ago and it made me think back about something..another addiction i used to have which is a weird one, lol.  So dont laugh (too hard) at me, okay? Back before I was ever addicted to anything I was very dedicated to having a baby (this was like 20 years ago when i started a long journey through infertility, and then several miscarriages before I finally had my two beautiful kids)..anyways, i was sooooo obsessed with the whole fertility issue and wanted to get pregnant SO bad that I was constantly taking pregancy tests. And I mean like a whole boatload every month!! Its crazy when i look back at it now, how much money i spent on those tests! THere were times when I was SURE the test was wrong ( a negative result) and I would pee on another one like 2 hours later and expect it to say positive!  Does anyone else have any other strrange addiction stories they want to share now too (please, make me feel better, lol) . Isnt it weird how when you have a strong addictive personality type, you can literally get addicted to nearly ANYTHING?!

Trouble........I did the exact same thing when I was trying to get pregnant ( which was years). I had boxes of tests and ovulation ones when they came out. I actually think it's pretty common for women suffering with infertility. Or maybe we are just two nut-jobs. lol

yep...an addict is an addict.  That's why I am so conscious now of "where my addiction lives??"  Because it can take over your life even if it isn't pills.  That's why we all have be dedicated to pointing it to something positive...and it can be a VERY good thing.

Nothing strange on my end...but I certainly could get obsessive about anything that brings me pleasure.
