Rethinking Addiction

[robvalue]

It seems to me some people are more naturally inclined to becomes obsessed with things. I supposed it's what is called an addictive personality. I would guess it's more of a sliding scale that everyone is part of, it just doesn't present a problem at the lower end. Once it gets past a certain point, the obsession turns into dependence.

I can certainly identify as someone who gets quite easily obsessed with things if I'm not careful, but I wouldn't say I get addicted. I'm able to stop, but I do still feel withdrawal symptoms if I've allowed myself to get too deep into something.

Of course I'm not talking about physical addiction such as drugs here, that's a different matter.
