What is your definition of an addict?

Someone who can’t control their urges.

I’m a fan of the show Intervention and just heard one of the interventionists describe it as repeating a behavior despite negative consequences already experienced.

Also, addictions can be substance-based (drugs) or process-based (shopping, porn, video games, gambling, for example).

I don’t like the idea of being addictive to anything. I think It comes down to willpower. All being said, I am only human!

addict (ad*dict)- Fluther

Uncontrollable urges 24/7

Someone that has 1 lurve point for sign in 2 day in a row

someone who will not quit certain behaviors regardless of how bad it hurts them or those they love

The inability to control an impulse to do (partake in) something that causes one to take attention, time, feelings, etc. from that which is real in one’s world repeatedly or for a period of time which causes harm to oneself or those around him/her.

Addiction can be physical or psychological and sometimes both. It’s when you can’t control what you feel you need, be it a substance or type of action.

someone who checks fluther in excess of five times a day. That seems reasonable
