Addiction is a brain disorder and has no respect for a person, regardless of sex, race, class or age. The word "addiction" is derived from a Latin term for "enslaved by" or "bound to." If you’ve ever had an addiction, or know anyone that has, you’ll understand this. It is defined as a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a drug, chemical or substance or refrain from an activity even though it is causing psychological and physical damage.
If the addiction is a chemical or drug, this is referred to as Substance Addiction. If it’s an activity, for example gambling, this is referred to as a Process Addiction.
Addictions and Habits are completely different. Habit is a behaviour pattern developed by frequent repetition of the act over and over to the point the brain does it automatically. An addiction is a compulsive need of a certain thing or substance to the body, which when deprived causes horrible effects. A habit can be controlled or modified, while addiction cannot be controlled and requires professional help for modification. Some addictions can also be habits, such as smoking cigarettes.
