Everybody has heard about the word addiction. But what exactly is addiction? Well, allow me to give you a minor definition:
Addiction is a habitual repetition of excessive behavior that a person is unable or unwilling to stop, despite its harmful consequences. People can be physically addicted to a drug, meaning they may suffer ill physical effects if they stop taking the drug. They also can be psychologically addicted to drugs, gambling, or other behaviors, meaning they feel overwhelmingly deprived if they attempt to stop.
People who are addicted to something constantly feel the need to "feed" that addiction. Most often than not, this condition sneaks up on them thereby blinding them to the reality that they have a problem and deceiving them into believing that the "problem" is with others.
