Glasses.
Now I'm addicted.
As in lenses for your face, or drinkware?
Either way, yes.
Just any kind of glass.
Microscope slides, dildos, windows, bongs, pyrex
Addicted is a good way to put it. I suffer withdrawal symptoms like dizziness and nausea when I go more than a few waking minutes without my glasses.
Just say no to glasses kids, or you'll end up like this guy.
I put on glasses once as a kid, now i'm glasses for life!
I got hooked in my mid 20s, and it's like I can't imagine how lived without them
I went through a glasses addiction myself as well lol. I found an eye-care clinic where they would cut the lenses and have them ready within 3 hours.
I would go to garage sales, thrift stores, and swap meets to find glasses to put lenses on. They were like $60 for the lenses and I never spent more than $10 on frames.
I ended up with 3 seeing glasses and 4 sun glasses before I realized it was going to be unsustainable to get new lenses for my new prescription every year.
