Addictions- other than food

I had a strange realization last night that I do have an addictive personality and now that I've gotten my food addiction under control to some degree my newest addiction has become books. Odd, huh? I've always loved to read and always needed to have one going but more recently it's been more addictive and find that I'm rushing through other obligations to get back to it. I read between 5 and 7 a week and must always have one on deck or I will go nuts. If I don't have a book I have to have something to read, a newspaper, a magazine, anything. I've recently noticed that I've even shushed my kids a lot lately while reading so now it's starting to interfere with more important things, just like any other type of addiction- which is what brought me to that realization. Prior to this it was exercise. I became ill about 2 mos ago and had to zero out all physical activity hence the books. Now I'm able to work some back in but trying to figure out how to get it to be a healthy balance between all things and not too much of a focus on just one.
I'd love to hear about some of your more off the wall addictions...
Anyone?
