Define Addiction

by

There are many definitions for the word addictions which range from the compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance (as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal, to being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically harmful or habit-forming. Addictions to some form of illegal substance, tobacco, or alcohol are the most commonly referred to, but there are many other things that one could be addicted to. Things such as food, pornography, and the internet are just a few. Is there anything in your life which has become an abnormally strong craving you think you can’t live without or can’t get rid of? Let us know. We’re here to help. Comment here.
