I'm totally addicted to sugar, and soda, and it totally sucks. I weigh 530 lbs. I'd like to be on biggest loser, and maybe finally lose the weight, but that might be scary too. But hey it's life, right? Maybe I'll make $100,000 this year with my blog, and be able to pay for gastric bypass surgery.
Well i think an addiction is an uncontrollable craving, or seeking for something. Sometimes is could be referred as compulsive drug use, psychological dependence, and continuing use despite harm.
Well I think my addiction is the whole computer and internet thing, I couldn't live without it. And I use it whenever I have the time to. Sometimes I procrastinate with work because I am addicted to it. 
yeah.... if you see if we think logically, everything that we do in excess is an addiction.
for example, sleeping for long hours, drinking tea or coffee more than 2-3 cups a day, always exercising etc etc. but, the key is if we can easily change or come out of that habit then i don't thing it is a addiction. it is just lack of motivation to come out of the habit. see, i have the habit of siting before the computer for a very long tme at a streach. but i can easily stop sitting before it if there is any other work to do. so i think it is not a addiction. it is just because i am not motivated enough to not sit before the computer for a long time. hope you get my point... QUOTE(velma @ Mar 31 2007, 04:30 AM)  Hello everyone, The other day I was talking to a couple of my friends and as I was nagging them to stop smoking one of them said that my nagging too is sort of an addiction like their smoking. I mean the fact that the habit of nagging is considered an addiction. That set me thinking that for all we know, Everything that we do might be an addiction, our computers,books, videogames, Junk food. I totally agree that Iam addicted to food,books, talking and games. Dont you think that posting too is an addiction in a way? Freaky but so cool. I'd love to hear about what you define as an addiction and I would love to hear yours Cheers Addiction to me is really defined by unhealthy behavior that affects you or others negatively, and is uncontrollable and often unobserved. In that, I'd say I am in no way an addict. However, I like to think that I am addicted to: -My girlfriend, gawd she's gorgeous -My computer, it's... a tool. Hahah. -My car, 72' red vw super beetle. HOW THE HELL NOT? -My family, I can't live without them -My studies, they give me purpose
Some of my addictions:
Computers (obvious) Mt Dew (not exactly caffeine bu Mt Dew itself, I do not do caffeine in other ways like I do dew) Videogames World of Warcraft Programming Reading Weird Crap Learning Sword Fighting/Medieval Reenactment (I actually get all antsy and weird and jumpy and stuff around Ren Faire season) Reading I like the fact that I am addicted to some of the stuff and actually have had odd symptoms when I have not done some of it for a while.
Well my addiction is definately chatting online and basically anything to do with computers. When I get home from school on the computer, on the computer, most of my holidays on the computer. I dont really achieve much I just hang on chat sites, make graphics and write stuff. Not too interesting. But this addiction is almost over, atleast I want it to be almost over. Im trying so hard to not be so addictive, but so fars its failing, mind you Im not on all the time- just most

Addiction? Well, let's see what a dictionary has to say;
QUOTE("Dictionary.com") the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. However, my view on the word "Addiction" is this; Basically, if you start doing something, you find it pleasuring, entertaining, or good to do, you do more of it. Soon, you'll realize you're doing it almost all the time. That's what I think an Addiction is.
my brother is addicted to all sorts of games. its not even funny..
Okay i completly agree with you and your friends... everything is an addiction, it doesnt matter what it is now adays but if you do it to much, it meens your addicted!!!
So here are some things of the top of my head that could be considered an addiction. - Smoking - Drinking - Doing drugs - Reading - Watching t.v/movies - Shopping - Going on the computer - Eating - Msn/facebook/myspace - Lieing - Listening to music - Sex - Swearing - Laughing - Bullying - Gossip - Blogging Well this is all i can think of at the moment but im sure i'll think of more and post them later, hope you enjoy
