How Do You Deal With Obsession/Addiction?

As many of you know by now, I have an obsession with murder.

While I don't consider it wrong to kill people, I'm aware that my obsession is a very unhealthy one. It's a path to self-destruction that may one day land me behind bars.

This obsession I have is similar to a drug addiction. Murder is all I can think about sometimes.

I discovered a long time ago that I have some impulse control issues, so unless I want to end up in prison, I have to avoid situations where I know there's a very high chance that I will act on impulse again.

While I don't have an issue with murder itself, I do wish I wasn't obsessed with it. The problem is, I don't know how not to be.

Do any of you have an addiction or an obsession with something/someone?

Have you tried to find alternative ways to deal with it? If yes, how did that work out for you?

If you don't have an obsession or addiction yourself, then how would you deal with someone who does?

lol, That makes sense.

I also have a drug addiction, but I don't use it to deal with my obsession.

Generally a creative outlet work, or generally I will physically work myself to the point that I don't want to attempt to think about it because my lack of energy.  So, basically anything that causes me to almost collapse after a while really works.  Because that is totally healthy.  e_e

Replace a harmful addiction with a harmless addiction.

That's a good idea, but what kind of harmless addiction could replace something that offers so much power and control?

Maybe a sport that has the same ideal as your previous addiction?

Extreme sports can be exciting, but the risks aren't as high (well, they are, but not in the same way) and it doesn't offer the same sexual stimulation and god-like power that murder does.

Part of my murder obsession involves a fantasy of being hunted by interpol and the FBI. That, to me, would be very exciting, but the downside is getting caught and I really don't want to get caught. Mind you, they have no reason to hunt me at the moment.

I'm only a cereal killer.

I usually just overindulge in said addiction/obsession until it loses it's thrill. Then I never think about it again.

I took a spell where I would do any drug put in front of me, or could get my hands on. It was fun, but I felt like I didn't get to try enough of them before I lost interest. This lasted a few years, by the way. The only drug I still use is alcohol, and that's pretty rare.
