What does addiction look like to you?

It's an interesting concept when for example the NHS says for alcohol
keep health risks from alcohol to a low level it is safest not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis. if you regularly drink as much as 14 units per week, it is best to spread your drinking evenly over 3 or more days.
Which is basically 14 units is equivalent to 6 pints of average-strength beer or 10 small glasses of lower-strength wine.

So using that as a guide how would you determine an addiction?

Anything which has an effect on your life in a negative way, something which is consuming your life and causing you to be depressed, angry and or inadequate.

Something which has a negative effect upon the way you treat yourself and others. Something which you require to exist/live and can't do without. Something which takes complete control of your life and creates a life of existence rather than one of living your life to the fullest.
