1. Chess
2. Ping-Pong
I just googled it... does nobody call table tennis ping-pong anymore??
3. Badminton
4. The gym
I'm kind of hoping I get more and more addicted to it to maximize my chances of sticking to it. I recently realized I forgot my shorts when I was in the locker room, and I was legitimately frustrated.
5. Addictive drugs
Considering I can get "addicted" to harmless things, I assume I'd be prone to be addicted to drugs if I were to try them. My understanding is that there's a difference between physical and psychological dependence/addiction.
6. Muay Thai
I tried it a few times in Barcelona and didn't develop a habit, but I might when I move back.
7. Phone use
Let's face it, this is already the case and I need to work on it.
8. Cigarettes
I've had a few puffs in my life and only once did I smoke several cigarettes in one evening (and another time I think I may have smoked several cigarillos). I could imagine a dependence developing. Thankfully I'm not drawn to it enough for it to likely happen, partly because the harmful effects are a huge deterrent.
9. Vaping
My ex vaped for a while. I remember trying it a few times and finding it extremely tempting to keep trying it. More so than cigarettes.
