no its just an addiction when you feel you GOT to have it. its when a “want” becomes a “need” to you. a lot of people are indenile about their addictions.

Pleasure turns into addiction when you find that you can’t do without whatever it is. With drugs you will find that you have withdrawal effects without it and your body needs it to stop the withdrawal. Whenever something is disrupting your life in some way and causing body changes as in gaining weight and not being able to stop your eating pattern. Doing something a lot doesn’t mean that you are addicted. It is when you can’t stop your behavior that is causing problems.
