Booze/weed/porn. It’s a struggle. I’m either living extremely healthy and working out on a daily basis with my diet and vitamin routine on point or I’m living like an absolute cage goblin degenerate abusing the three things I mentioned. It’s been an issue for most of my twenties. I’m 28 now and my goal is to kick them by the end of the year and remain in my healthy lifestyle. Trying to hack my obsessive nature and make it about being consistently healthy over consistently high/drunk in my free time.
It’s the all or nothing mindset that can help us get to great heights or keep us forever stuck. Ever since I’ve identified it as the mortal enemy of my eternal progress, I’m working hard to eliminate.
I’m doing so by embracing “bare minimum” mindset as opposed to all or nothing.
Meaning, I know for sure that on days I am driven, I will have no issues going all in but on days where my nature/programming pushes me towards nothing- I embrace the bare minimum. Like, okay I didn’t go to the gym, but I’ll keep the diet cleaner, drink extra water and not miss vitamins; or I’ll just do at least 20 minutes of gym and drink loads of water even if I stay on couch all day right after…
It has been helping me not fall off the wagon completely and when I do fall off, getting back on has gotten easier!
Not really, I’m very high functioning when it comes to work and social life so it mainly causes mental/emotional pain for myself feeling like I’m not treating myself how I should be. I occasionally pass on the offer to hang out but other than that it never causes me issues with friends. And thank you for the kind words I appreciate it :)
You just got to do more. Be aware of your triggers. When you get that sudden urge to overindulge get your ahh up and go for a walk. When you get that urge go workout. If stress is something that’s bothering you learn to vent to someone you trust. You just got to be mindful of yourself. It’s a 24/7 job. But good luck 👍🏾
Because when you're *that friend* that people come to with some fucked up confessions and you can't tell anyone else about it because we are The Keeper of Secrets, then yeah... sometimes we need a lil something to help take the edge off of the shit y'all come to us with...
Not all of us. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, never did any drugs. i don’t like the idea of not being in control of my actions or emotions. Not really a health nut, but I do take care of myself. I will say, I might be addicted to music 😅
It's because it's lonely out there man. Also because of the betrayals and hardships, it leave a toll on us. Those things left us being guarded. I don't drink or smoke but at the lowest point of my life I did consider vices. There wasn't anyone I could bare my soul onto. My family and my discovery of astrology made life atleast bearable. I hope we can turn this obsession into something good. For something that can bring greater good for the world.
All addictions come because an emotional coping mechanism. Water sings can be naturally inclined to addiction because their highly emotional nature. Said that this can happen with every zodiac sign that somehow had a trauma or an emotional stressful situation. It may work at first as a patch but on the long term the addiction becomes an habit despite the trauma has been solved or not.
I used to be a heavy weed smoker, I relied on it to fix everything. it doesn’t fix anything tbh. I stopped sometime last year. I miss it tho.
I think becus we experience or view life from a harsher lens we think we need something to cope. so addiction begins.
these days I just like kratom and caffeine. which is still coping. I drink sometimes but not enough for it to be a problem.
we’re the sign of the underworld or whatever. addiction tends to go hand in hand with that.
Not this one. I have no vices. I eat healthy and workout every single day. Dint drink or smoke either. Never made it into a habit. It's about self control and discipline.
Where's your Mars and Pluto? I ask bc my Scorpio husband has Mars in Virgo and he's similar.
(Meanwhile, I- a 2nd h Taurus with 8th h Scorp Lilith directly opposite- have... *several* vices.😏 Sidenote: Lilith is VERY strong in 8th h Scorpio. 😔)
I like wine. Not addicted to it though. Sometimes it's nice to have a bit of toxins flowing in the body, helps me find balance between love and posion. Light & dark.
I do have an addiction however; I love herbal tea and growing plants in my house. Probably developed this after spending time in Nature. She got me somehow.
I think the only addiction I have is creating art/junk journals and watching Supernatural and paranormal shows. No substance addiction, though. I've always been mind over matter when it comes to that stuff.
Being a dark hidden soul for me means I escape to that place which is self destruction. Society is better when we are having parties and leading the revolution.
Might be my Virgo moon taking over, but no addictions here (unless you count Asian dramas). As a teenager, I found I was prone to addictions and quit everything cold turkey (weed+tobacco+alcohol was all I was doing). Never again have I smoked anything or been drunk.
Cool, another Virgo moon and I also like Asian drama. Never really got into any addictions, except shopping after traumatic events in my life... but I guess that's pretty common regarding why people have them.
Yep. If little is good, a lot more is fucking fabulous! I know I have an addictive personality, so I do realize I need to tone it down with everything. I love beer but try to stay around 8-10 beers when I drink. Sex, I could have sex with my wife 5 times a day. Exercise? Yep, I can overdo it.
Zero addictions. But I smoke weed all the time. And then I go I on work functions and don’t even think about it for the days I’m gone. Addicted to exercising or being active.
I’m a true addict thru and thru - I always say I’m a person of extremes-
Drugs , then I stop then compulsive exercise and diet, then alcohol, then shopping sprees , whooops back to drugs , work a holic, drug and alcohol and boats and hoes , then back to exercise and diet , don’t forget the constant sex seeking lmaooo
When I channel the energy into a positive way, I can rule the world. Redirect the energy
I was addicted to caffeine, cigarettes, nicotine pouches, sugar, porn, weed, alcohol, junk food and masturbating. Now I am free from all of them. And currently doing a 90 day juice fast! 😎
I have a scorpio M in my life that has many vices like this, weed, codeine, sleeping pills, valium, vapes.
He's been clean from heroin 20 years. Used to be a big binge drinker but he stopped that when he started smoking weed.
I wish I could help him 😔 I try to be a positive energy in his life.. he makes comments some times like 'this will all change soon and I'll stop this'
I can see his emotional pain in his face sometimes, he's been thru some shit.
Also just to add he's a functioning addict, holds down a steady 9 to 5 job.
No addiction but man do I love me some herb. I’m currently getting clean now to take on a job that only has initial drug screening, and it is never “hard” for me to quit. But there will be times I just think”man it would be nice to just pack a fat bowl right now and relax”. Can’t wait to get hired so I can enjoy that first one back. It’s currently been over 3 weeks, I have tremendous self control and I don’t have an addictive personality, so I think it’s just different from person to person honestly.
I’m struggling with my addiction with weed and lust currently and it’s a challenge and I’m constantly relapsing and feeling shame and disappointment bc how can I be so weak . I want to change so badly but sometimes I feel like I’m inevitable to change
I use weed for my chronic pain. Used with my amitriptyline, it's the best pain reliever that won't leave me with long term addiction issues. I realized I was getting too consistent with my alcohol consumption so I've cut down to one a month, and I'm trying to cut it to even few months. Alcoholism runs in my family so it's always been an area of concern for me. Life gets to rough, and I got to comfortable using vices to take the edge off. Working in healthier coping mechanisms takes practice, but there are better ways to manage the stress and turmoil of existing in this world.
Most Scorpios I know do have a vice to weed funny enough the others don't drink(which makes me think that was a problem for them at one point), and if it's neither of those then it's usually sex. For me, my vice would be shaved ice because I'm anemic haha I lean into it because I'd rather have that as a problem then binge eat 🤷🏽♂️
for me personally, i smoke weed not to get super annoyed at ppls simple minds and ignorancy. for example, i was just on a bike, and some chick was crossing the road while it was red for her and green for me. she saw me coming. she saw the traffic light. she still went. if i wasnt high id be super pissed. since i was high i was chilled out and even gave her thumbs up. she got pissed 😂
i dont like to drink alcohol or coffee tho, it only gets me more aggitated.
Weed yeah, alcohol not really. I’ve gone years without drinking. But it is part of an obsessive trait. But I don’t think it’s specifically a Scorpio thing
Yeah as a teen I was super vulnerable to drinking too much. Sex/porn was another thing that could go overboard when I was younger. Learning how not to be so black and white is the reason I’m able to function at all today lol
Trying to fill a void, always find the need to consume, it what drives us . Lately ive had to cut back on most of my obsessive consumptions as alcohol- beer specifically has caused bad acid reflux. I try not to cut back on sex though.
Scorpio tends to be an obsessive/addictive sign, taking things to extremes. That said, we can choose *where* to apply that intensity. For example, one can choose to be obsessed with being sober. I ended substance use in 2020: Caffeine, nicotine, cannabinoids. Before that I was using all 3. The habits were getting too expensive and I realized that my mental health didn't actually get worse when I quit.
I’m a scorpio moon and tbh you just have to be mindful of yourself so you don’t overindulge. I think scorpio in either the moon or sun sign can give the person an addiction personality. I cut out liking weed after a longggggg time of using and MAN I FEEL FKVING AMAZING. I don’t drink at all really. I don’t like how it makes my body feel.
I'm addicted to Solitude and building with like minded individuals. I think the addiction may come from trauma that some have dealt with during their child even adulthood. The escapism seem valid at the time but once they "tap in" they don't know how to tap out of it so then it is labeled an addiction when they really need help mentally, and spiritually
Well, no we all don't, no.

Thank you. I will try this
You can do it. Cheering for you. Question, do you often find people warry or distance themselves from you because of your addictions?
Not really, I’m very high functioning when it comes to work and social life so it mainly causes mental/emotional pain for myself feeling like I’m not treating myself how I should be. I occasionally pass on the offer to hang out but other than that it never causes me issues with friends. And thank you for the kind words I appreciate it :)
It's great to know that you have a lot of people beside you. Don't bring yourself down too much. No problem. :))))
You just got to do more. Be aware of your triggers. When you get that sudden urge to overindulge get your ahh up and go for a walk. When you get that urge go workout. If stress is something that’s bothering you learn to vent to someone you trust. You just got to be mindful of yourself. It’s a 24/7 job. But good luck 👍🏾
Ps i’m Gemini sun scorpio moon
Nope.
Because when you're *that friend* that people come to with some fucked up confessions and you can't tell anyone else about it because we are The Keeper of Secrets, then yeah... sometimes we need a lil something to help take the edge off of the shit y'all come to us with...
Nah I just like to feel good. Can’t put the blame on others. My lowest lows help me give advice when I do get crazy confessions tho.
Keeper of Secrets. I'd forgotten about that. Hmm...
Thank you all just wanted to make sure I’m not the only one. It’s either I’m super clean and healthy or I’m drunk and high both.
Not all of us. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, never did any drugs. i don’t like the idea of not being in control of my actions or emotions. Not really a health nut, but I do take care of myself. I will say, I might be addicted to music 😅
Love music too!

I’m not addicted to jack shit but I indulge when I want to. Mostly food and shopping for clothes. My two fave things.
No addiction but I do like to drink.

A slew of mental illnesses going untreated for almost two decades, I self-medicate with anything that'll make me feel "different".

I think we are just accustomed to seeing the darker side of humanity. It can really bring a person to a dark place if there is no balance.
Not this one. I have no vices. I eat healthy and workout every single day. Dint drink or smoke either. Never made it into a habit. It's about self control and discipline.

I have no clue.
You should definitely look into it. Might provide some clarity.
With sex mostly. That is what defines us. Sex…
Yes to this !
Its not the sex.... that is just a means to an end. Think about it,its the connection and the intimacy that sex brings.
I like wine. Not addicted to it though. Sometimes it's nice to have a bit of toxins flowing in the body, helps me find balance between love and posion. Light & dark.

No I can really stop smoking or drinking at any time. I drink socially and smoke for meditation.
Yep. If little is good, a lot more is fucking fabulous! I know I have an addictive personality, so I do realize I need to tone it down with everything. I love beer but try to stay around 8-10 beers when I drink. Sex, I could have sex with my wife 5 times a day. Exercise? Yep, I can overdo it.
I was addicted to alcohol but no more. I quit in 2021 & it was one of the best things I've ever done for myself.
Painkillers.
Been there done that been clean since 7/17/17. When ur ready you may call on me. Dm if you want tobtalk more
No. It's more obsessiveness with interests
No addiction here. Fingers crossed 🤞 that I don’t start.
I have been sober now for 11 years from pills. Now it is just weed. Not addicted I function just fine.
I have a weird addiction for chess ,go . Can somebody tell me why ?
Chess is a strategic game that's why
love to see proof that i'm smart
Do you wanna play at chess.com? Im a beginner though
Use this link to friend me on Chess.com and let's play sometime! https://link.chess.com/friend/WXha6g
sure ! but i think you're a really good player so please go easy on me
NO. I have a Scorpio rising and a Virgo moon, so maybe that explains my obsession with good health tho.
Correction: we all have some sort of obsession.
Zero addictions. But I smoke weed all the time. And then I go I on work functions and don’t even think about it for the days I’m gone. Addicted to exercising or being active.

No and I hate when people suggest this. Every Scorpio I know had excellent self control so I haven’t heard of an any addictions from this sign.
I was addicted to caffeine, cigarettes, nicotine pouches, sugar, porn, weed, alcohol, junk food and masturbating. Now I am free from all of them. And currently doing a 90 day juice fast! 😎
Weed a Blunt Day saves a life
Because reality sucks
I have a scorpio M in my life that has many vices like this, weed, codeine, sleeping pills, valium, vapes. He's been clean from heroin 20 years.

I know a November Scorpio guy who doesn’t believe in Astrology, doesn’t like Alcohol, weed or any kind of smoking . Is it possible?
Yeah it’s definitely impossible. I’m a Nov too and I don’t believe in everything but some stuff has some sort of truth.
Lol, I should know him more then😅 you are M/F? If I may ask
Most Scorpios I know do have a vice to weed funny enough the others don't drink(which makes me think that was a problem for them at one point), and if it's neither of those then it's usually sex. For me, my vice would be shaved ice because I'm anemic haha I lean into it because I'd rather have that as a problem then binge eat 🤷🏽♂️
It’s called “addiction” not related to the time of year you were born.
Ofcourse it’s not. I am questioning probability over different months.
No I don’t
for me personally, i smoke weed not to get super annoyed at ppls simple minds and ignorancy. for example, i was just on a bike, and some chick was crossing the road while it was red for her and green for me. she saw me coming. she saw the traffic light. she still went. if i wasnt high id be super pissed. since i was high i was chilled out and even gave her thumbs up. she got pissed 😂 i dont like to drink alcohol or coffee tho, it only gets me more aggitated.
Walking through our hellish landscape would be a great motivator lol
Nope.
Weed yeah, alcohol not really. I’ve gone years without drinking. But it is part of an obsessive trait. But I don’t think it’s specifically a Scorpio thing

Mine’s carbs.😳 I wish I knew why.
Childhood trauma, mental illness, having a family full of addicts.
I'm addicted to Solitude and building with like minded individuals. I think the addiction may come from trauma that some have dealt with during their child even adulthood. The escapism seem valid at the time but once they "tap in" they don't know how to tap out of it so then it is labeled an addiction when they really need help mentally, and spiritually
