Why is my sister and I addicted to such things?

MY sister is addicted to ice. It gets on my nerves because I feel she is wasting a lot of water. Also, I want her to stop her addiction because when I'm having some soda with ice, i look in the ice tray and its empty. My family spends so much money on ice. Why is she addicted?

I'm addicted to sugar. When i eat sugar I feel it taste good. But i know its bad for my health, I can't help it. I also like eating rainbow sprinkles (which is sugar). Why am I addicted to sugar?

Is there a way to stop these addictions.

    Is there a way to stop sugar addiction? Yes, self control. Set aside a couple sugary things a day and just limit yourself to that. It's super bad for your teeth so maybe start a habit of brushing your teeth everytime you eat sugar and maybe you'll get annoyed with it and think twice before you eat something bad.

    As for your sister....I don't think that's an issue at all. Why are you spending money on ice? It's frozen water....you can get it out of your tap. Tell your sister to fill the ice cube tray when it's empty.
