Sugar was my addiction. I used to love chocolate, choclatey snacks, sugary soft drinks (Irn Bru is the greatest drink in the universe!), ice lollies, the occasional chocolate cake, etc. Then my body decided to develop diabetes
And I don't understand why supermarkets (at least in England, where I am from) has special sections for Gluton-free or lactose-free products, but never (in my experience) for sugar free stuff, even though apparently diabetes is getting more and more common.
At the same time who doesn't know several alcoholics who ruined their lives over the course of time? The addiction can be extreme, it's toxic as hell for the body and feeling drunk is also pretty terrible compared to other kinds of intoxications/highs in my personal opinion, at the very least the hang over is.
I find alcohol (like all drugs) to have different effects on each person differently. In a small percentage it can bring out violent tendencies (from my family and friends circles I only know of 2 people who it had this effect), in others it just makes them more mellow and anxiety free (me) though it can also make them more cocky, and in some others it can make them more emotional.
Weed wise - Not seen many bad effects there, beyond making people sleepy, hungry and aggression free.
Acid, coke and the rest - Seen more negatives there. Very high aggression in some, wanting to be continuously active, and a really bad effect after it's high has worn off. Tend to have very negative effects on the friends and family of those people. Seems to attract people of more negative walks of life to those people who choose to do those drugs in addition.That's all just life observations.
JDoranI'm sorry to hear about your diabetes situation, it genuinely saddens me. Is there any message you want to get out to the world? I'd be glad to include it in some form in my game.Same goes for anyone. This game is a chance for me to scream into the void and have it not be completely in vain.
Sugar free or low sugar alternatives are everywhere next to any given product across the entire store. Open your eyes? Sure, not everything has this option, but most do. Just flip that shit over and look for "sugars 0g" on every single item. That said, you shouldn't have to...this shit preys on children and the uninformed. As always. This world is so fucking predatory, and in such an underhanded and sly way.
Icemann, I'm really sorry to hear that your wife has it. I often wonder how much scientific and medical research we have lost due to Covid 19. When Covid 19 came about, no doubt a large part of the then current research into other diseases and conditions was put on hold in the race to develop a cure for Covid.
That's very kind of you, mate
