Understanding Addictive Behaviors
In 'The Addictive Behaviors,' author W.R. Miller tells us that people can become dependent on, addicted to or compulsively obsessed with any substance, object, an activity or habit that gives them pleasure. We have substance addictions and behavior addiction. According to Wikipedia and I quote, "Addictive behavior is any activity, substance, object, or behavior that becomes the major focus of a person's life resulting in a physical, mental, and/or social withdrawal from their normal day to day obligations."
