Remember, 'addiction' implies a loss of control over actions or behavior.

Difficult Control

'Addiction' often suggests consequences that harm oneself or others.

Negative Impact

Addiction can be for substances or behaviors, affecting both mind and body.

Physical or Psychological

In casual contexts, 'addiction' can describe intense interests, less serious than true compulsions.

Less Severe

Use 'addiction' cautiously for hobbies to not trivialize serious addictions.

Avoid Overuse

Understand 'addiction' as a medical issue; it is not a choice or moral failing.

Medical Seriousness

Not only drugs or alcohol; behaviors like gambling can also be medical addictions.

Beyond Substances

In legal terms, 'addiction' can involve mandatory actions, like treatment attendance.

Legally Binding

'Addiction' may lead to legal issues, affecting personal freedom.
