“Addiction is a chronic disorder proposed to be precipitated by a combination of genetic, biological/pharmacological and social factors. Addiction is characterized by the repeated use of substances or behaviors despite clear evidence of morbidity secondary to such use.” (Wikipedia)
I think that addiction to anything is a need to replace something that’s missing in a person’s life. You do something because it makes you feel good, and if you can’t get that good feeling elsewhere, you’ll come back to what it is that gave you comfort.
