No addiction may be good or bad...Since you wanted my definition of addiction, here it is "Addiction is when you find it hard to leave things" . I really don't like leaving my computer..Stuff like that. My dad used to smoke a lot but one day he said " I don't want to smoke" and he had quit. When I asked him on how difficult it was to quit, he said it was the easiest thing in his life! Give me something to do like hang out with friends or play some sports and I will leave the computer there. That doesn't work with all people though...

An addiction is a problem that people have within their minds. Say there is a man, who smokes cigarettes. He smokes 10 cigarettes per day. He is used to smoking 10 cigarettes a day. If he suddenly stopped, he would panic. He would feel he would 'need' the cigarettes, that is when you are addicted to something, such as cigarettes.

Now say there is a kid, who loves going online, and his mom smokes. He makes a bet with his mom. "Mom, I'll stop going on the internet all day if you stop smoking!". Then five days in, the mom decides to have a cigarette, losing the deal. The boy was not really addicted to the internet as his mom thought.

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 biggrin.gif


Addiction is something where you want to do something and you do the opposite.
You are not in control of what you do. This is applicable in your case.

The more you try to become something else you become the opposite... smile.gif

But still its possible to come out of addiction with some effort... smile.gif

    I AM VERY MUCH ADDICTED TO NET and my freinds used to call me net-eria(means a net being) i
    couldn't concentrate on my studies at that time but i worked over it to overcome that addiction
    now i only spend 10 hours a week on the net only. i think it is not addiction anymore relative to
    50+ hours a week which i earlier used to spend on the net and that too on cheap sites. i think

  2. Addiction To Games - (34)
    So I was watching the News the other day, which is slightly unusual to me when a Report came up on
    Video Game Addictions. I thought this was sort of weird, because Video games don't contain
    nicotine, or an addictive substance, at least I hope, but further on the Report started to make more
    sense. It explained Video Games cause a psychological addiction ,and the addiction occurs because of
    the experience, and the good feeling you get from playing them. I am a gamer myself and never
    realized the addiction, so this Report sort of scarred me a bit. Now that I look back o...
  3. Addiction To The Computer - (26)
    Once I ever got to know how to use a computer and found out many things that a computer can do I was
    surprised. It all started when I got on a computer for my first time playing a game that my cousin
    had let me play. This was 5 years ago and now I am very addicted to the computer and if I stop using
    the computer for about a day or week I feel like i'm gonna die or something. The only time I
    don't feel like using the computer is when my cousins and families visit from other places. Or
    when I play a video game that is not on the computer....
  4. Caffeine Addiction - Is Caffeine Really A Drug? (31)
    As many of you may have heard, caffeine can be considered a drug to some. What are your opinions on
    this subject? Obviously, like any drug, caffeine can affect some, while others can be unaffected.
    For example, I drink soda, usually two cans a day. Now, I have gone sometimes a week or two without
    soda though, clearly stating it has no control over me, but I have heard it can affect others in
    strange ways. For some caffeine consumers, if they go too long with it, they will get headaches,
    nausea, etc. But I rarely see this is people. This is most people's defens...
  5. Coca-cola Addiction - Sorts of addiction (16)
    When people talk about some kind of addiction they usually connect it with the drug abuse or drug
    habit (cocaine, marihuana, ecstasy etc.) but I think that every thing that is consumed in high
    quantity can be considered as injurious to health and it's after someone need it for ceaseless
    use so we can say it's addiction. I'll give you an example with one of my friends that has
    addiction to Coca-Cola. He always come to work with at least 1 bottle of 500ml, but often he can be
    seen with 2 litres bottle. He drinks Cola all the day, in work, in the café or just ...

    very long time, and while I was there they gave me Dilaudid, which is stronger than morphine, which
    is stronger than any heroin you'd find on the street. I was very worried because in my job I
    meet people who got addicted to these medicines and ended up buying them on the street, losing their
    jobs, etc. People I worked with lost their jobs because of it. Until this year, I...
