» Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen - Create An Addiction

In response to Create An Addiction posted by pink101:
It must depend on the addiction, as some are physiological (drugs, alcohol, nictotine) while others aren't (internet addiction, workaholic, chocolate?).

I thought addictions create new pathways in the brain, regardless of the type of addiction - but the physiological ones must be much harder to kick.

Creating an addiction is a gazillion times easier than breaking one!

I'm addicted to coffee, mochas, and writing. Maybe running and reading, too. I kicked smoking.
