    In my crash course to new psych techs about addiction I list off all the common legal addictions which goes something like this:

    • Caffeine
    • Nicotine
    • Alcohol
    • Gambling
    • Pornography
    • Social Media
    • Binge Eating
    • Non-suicidal self-injury
    • And depending on the location, Marijuana

    I tell them that mine is caffeine and my partner’s is nicotine, then we talk about motivational interviewing and then I move on to dementia.
