My 3 Addictions is the third official CD release from antifolk music group Elastic No-No Band and their first studio album.

It is a concept album inspired partially by the 2-part structure of Willie Nelson's Phases and Stages album. My 3 Addictions has a 3-part structure, based on the three addictions listed in the title song: food, movies, and women.

An interactive album

On September 3, 2007, Elastic No-No Band's lead singer and songwriter, Justin Remer, started posting a blog called "My 3 Addictions: An interactive album". The first entry contained an mp3 download of the title song, in addition to various anecdotes about the making of the song and additional mp3 downloads of alternate versions of the song. Each successive entry included streaming audio of one of the album's songs, anecdotes related to that song, and mp3 downloads of alternate versions of that song. Now, the entire album can be heard, mostly as streaming audio, from the blog.
