As passionate as say Einstein was about his work he probably still took holidays. The fentanyl addict is a slave to that shit I saw all sorts of them on christmas eve, and new years eve, I see live downtown I see them everyday its 365 days a year of using all day and night, no breaks at all.

I am strongly opposed to using the word addiction for bad habits like "porn addiction" or shopping addiction. If i take away your porn/video games/junk food you are not going to get sick and puke for weeks, you'll be just fine. I bet all sorts of "video game addicts" just spent a week of forced family socializing and none of them required replacement medicine to not puke.

I just don't like that word addiction for anything that doesn't cause withdrawal. I am sure people have obsessions and bad habits that ruin their lives (to internet/porn/video game/shopping/gambling/work etc), I'm not denying that. I just think its wrong to call it an addiction, it minimizes what substance addicts are gong thru. There should be another word or term, "mental addiction" is kinda lame IMO

If i look at the ease with which i ended dissoiative abuse episodes, to call that addiction does no justice to what alcoholics and junkies go through. Its more "obsession", if you quit your body says GOOD RIDDANCE instead of torture you.

I believe that "compulsion" and "compulsive disorder" already cover that quite well. I also think they apply to a lot of substances that aren't physically addictive.

Tobacco often gets overlooked because people don't get "fucked up" when they use it. But the way that it takes over your brain and body is right up there with a lot of the harder stuff. Of course I have all sorts of fucked up stories about opiates, but the number of people in my life who just sort of matter-of-factly passed away as a result of chronic alcohol and tobacco use is truly horrifying to think about as well.

Beware of advice- even this.
