This is a question Addicted

Cigarettes, gambling, porn and booze. What's your addiction? How low have you sunk and how have you tried to beat it?

Thanks to big-girl's-blouse for the suggestion

Oxygen
Can't get enough of it.

If I don't get my fix, after 45 seconds I start to gasp and turn blue.

Heroin withdrawal symptoms? Pah!

I'm also quite partial to water and heat.

I can sympathise.
I tried to wean my siblings off heat, I really did. I saw the effects of excessive use (sweating, blistering, even turning into a small pile of ash). All of them have, unfortunately, died from being weaned off heat.

I tried everything- removing it slowly, removing it quickly. Nothing worked. The Withdrawl symptoms, for Parents worried that their children are addicted to heat, is that when they've been on a lower dose for while you'll see an increase in small shaking movements and a change in skin tone, followed by death.
In young children there may also be a stage where they'll declare themselves to be "smoking" while exhaling during the shaking phase. This is due to their tiny brains hallucinating about having a big dose of heat.

If your child tries go "cold turkey" they'll just stop moving altogether. Reapplication of heat may cause reanimation in some rare cases.

Anyway, Parents- be vigilant!
