Is there anything addicting that isn't self destructing?

I've found that my experiences with LSD and magic mushrooms have been nothing but helpful, especially in getting a third person outlook on my life, which aided me in looking at things to improve.
They're a psychedellic tool to unlocking the mind, not a fun/hobby drug, however. They're to be used very sparingly and must be respected, due to their immense power.

>>561lsd and shrooms are addictive?
don't know you told you that.

>>562Anything can be addictive. I think they're similar to jerking off. It's not a physical dependency, but it can become a habit.

>>562Anything that gives you pleasure can become addictive. Not heroin withdrawal addictive, but still a problem to some.

The whole point of addiction is that it is destructive. If it wasn't destructive it wouldn't be an addiction. It would just be something you really really like.

Anything to a degree can be destructive in some form. To much of anything can be bad, there needs to be a balance. You can like something but don't let it rule your life rule over it yourself.
I'd suggest taking up a hobby that can be used in society, I tinker and repair a variety of things myself. Radios, old TVs, even taken up fixing up old American cars. It's constructive, and at the same time though I balance it out with other things in life I have responsibilities to.

Water kills you in excess (drowning). Sungazing is said to have wonderful effects but doing it too much will damage your eyes. Oxygen slowly destroys a human being because of the body's primal addiction to staying alive.
So yeah, you know…
If you can't kick your harmful addictions outright, maybe it's best to at least switch over to a healthier addiction until you find a better way to live.
Balance is a hard thing for me. I've always been a black/white OCD type of person. But I've decided to explore the possibility of changing things in my life to accommodate it instead of insisting that it's impossible.

People get addicted to exercise and that's a good one. A good workout makes your body pump all kinds of feel-good chemicals about.
Addiction and dependency of any sort has negative effects on the brain, but I think a minor addiction to a positive thing would be a net positive.
