Addictions. We all have them. Some “compulsive engagement in rewarding stimulants despite adverse consequences.” “Habit forming substances or behaviors.”
It has been said, “An overindulgence of anything, even something as pure as water, can intoxicate.”
Pete Rose’s was an addiction to playing baseball. For some it is drugs. Many; alcohol.
Poker. Video games. Checking their emails and Facebook accounts.
The difference between a wholesome activity and an unhealthy addiction is the “adverse effects.”
