My own comment was a knee-jerk reactive comment in reply to what I felt in your post, which may or may not have been a real thing.
Idk. My hunch is that we are all addicted to something, and if you don't see what it is yet, then either you or society (or both) must not have much of a problem with that particular addiction, and that can always change.
Wrong.
The definition of addiction is "physically and mentally dependent on a particular substance." (Oxford Dictionary)
I am addicted to coffee. I get mild physical withdrawal symptoms if I quit. In no way is it an impediment to living my normal life.
> Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to engage in certain behaviors, one of which is the usage of a drug, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences.
In fact, the article goes on to specifically refute the argument you are making:
> The term addiction is frequently misused when referring to other compulsive behaviors or disorders, particularly dependence, in news media. An important distinction between drug addiction and dependence is that drug dependence is a disorder in which cessation of drug use results in an unpleasant state of withdrawal, which can lead to further drug use. Addiction is the compulsive use of a substance or performance of a behavior that is independent of withdrawal. Addiction can occur in the absence of dependence, and dependence can occur in the absence of addiction, although the two can occur together.
