Description

Addiction can be very difficult to define as the term is highly over-used in everyday conversation. It is a very complex illness and could be described as a dependence on a substance or behaviour that affects physical psychological and emotional well-being.

An addiction usually carries cravings and symptoms of withdrawal if the habit is made inaccessible, and the seriousness of this extends to friends, family, colleagues and employers of the addict.


But recovery IS possible

I wasn't addicted to anything normally considered wrong, but I experienced severe withdrawal symptoms to the point of becoming suicidal so I'd say it was pretty serious. Recovery is possible and I'm so happy to be alive.
