Masturbation

I don't think that counts.

When it's over 5 times a day it sure does. Alchohol is a choice; masturbation is a compulsion and addiction.

You can knock one out in the toilet in under 5 minutes and it has no lasting effect, I'm not denying that you can be addicted to it, but it's not in the same category as substance abuse imo.

try edging, im addicted to edging and sometimes i jerk off for hours at a time. quick orgasms doesnt give the same effect. there have been sessions that have lasted 8+ hours. longest ever was nearly 48 hours with few breaks and 24 orgasms.

Alchohol consumption is a choice. There's no biological need to drink it in the first place. Also, we don't fully know the effects of constant masturbation. And I'm not talking only once or twice a day.

I get your point, while in college I was addicted to masturbation and it definitely affected my life.
The whole point of addiction is that its not really a choice, even alcohol or drugs.
Masturbation is still a choice, but you feel the need to do it.

I was until having a schizophrenic break that landed me in the psych ward... From their I decided it was time to stop and went to a 3 month rehab.

I used ketamine, PCP, nitrous, and alcohol. Balancing it with work was pretty easy as I had a job I could do from home most days and work any hours. Days I did go to the office I just took it easy, bump or two of k every hour or so in the bathroom... Drink on lunch break, smoke some dust in a joint.

True, but with alchohol there's way more substitutes and alternatives. Energy drinks are a good example of a substitute. There's also alternatives to drugs. But there's no substitute for ejaculating.
