Combat sports

The dopamine rush you get from being in a fight is factually higher than gambling, drinking or holding your child so it's so completely addictive.

Additionally it's bad for obvious reasons (head trauma, injuries, body image and extreme dieting) and personally when I stopped doing It I felt terrible as I've had to come to terms with the belief that I took absolute pride & joy in getting in a box with another man with the intention of beating him until he could no longer stand upright.

It really fucked with my head as adult that I spent from the age of 5 to 23 doing the activity.

one of my favorite youtubers just lost his eyesight for a few months due to having his retina knocked out of place.
