The People Who Have Strangest Addictions
Take a look at some of the strangest addictions in the list at the top of this article.
Urine drinker
Meet Carrie, a woman who is addicted to
drinking her own urine. She has consumed over 900 gallons of her own
urine over the four year period of her addiction.
Coffee enema
Meet Trina, a Florida woman who gives
herself at least four enemas each day. Trina uses coffee in her enemas,
and her husband has gotten into the habit as well.
Blood drinker
A real-life vampire from Turkey struggles
with a blood addiction described as at the point of being as necessary
as oxygen. And then there's the multiple personality disorder. In a case
study published by Live Science, the vampire says he developed these
things as a way to cope with a violent and tragic upbringing.
Pine cleaner sniffing
33-year-old Jillian has been addicted to
smelling pine cleaner for two years and can’t go more than 15 minutes
without a fix. Using up to six bottles a week, she keeps a bottle next
to her bed, in her car and even wears a surgical mask doused in pine
cleaner for a stronger scent. But her addiction is beginning to take a
toll on her asthma. Will warnings from a doctor be enough to convince
Jillian to put down the bottle?
The ear digger
For over 12 hours every day, Jamie scrapes
her ear canals with any sharp object she can get her hands on. Can a
much-needed intervention halt the 32-year-old's dangerous obsession
before it's too late? Jamie's friends and family fight to put an end to
the young woman's scissors-to-ear fixation and get her risky behavior
under control before she causes irrevocable damage.
In love with his car
28-year-old Nathaniel has found the love of
his life: his heart has belonged to his car, a bright red 1998 Monte
Carlo named Chase. Nathaniel goes on dates with his car, buys his car
birthday gifts and is even intimate with it. Every weekend he tenderly
bathes it and greets it with a good-morning kiss.
Doll love
Meet Joe and Pat Prosey, proud "parents" of
more than 5,000 Cabbage Patch Kids. My Strange Addiction, an eight-part
extension of the popular reality series My Collection Obsession, will
feature the couple and their expansive brood in their day-to-day life,
catering to their "babies" as one might their own flesh and blood.
Inflatable relationship

relationship with 15 of these plastic pool toys.

weird, just plain weird.
