This is me.

I don't get addicted to things. But I have a revolving door of escapes I use to avoid everyday reality. Video games, TV/movies, the internet, porn, even reading. None of them, individually, are anything I can't give up, but collectively they've kept me from moving forward in a variety of ways for years. A lot of the time, I just feel...wrong if I'm not escaping somewhere.

For me, it's sort of a melange of laziness, resistance to change, anxiety and fear. I've made some progress this year, but I have a long way to go and I have to be careful not to backstep.
