WHAT IS ADDICTION?

Addiction is the habitual, physiological,

psychological
dependence on a substance or practice which is
beyond
voluntary control. A person who is habituated to a
substance
or a practice, especially a harmful one, is called an
addict.
Addiction is a chronic, progressive and sometimes
fatal
 disorder with both genetic and environmental
roots. It
manifests as a compulsion that derives an
individual to
continue to behave in a way that is harmful to self
and loved
ones, despite an intense desire to halt that behavior.
It is a
disease of “more”- an active addict needs an
increasing
amount of substance to get high and is unable to
cease usage
without painful withdrawal symptoms. This is true
whether
the addictive substance is a drug or tobacco or
alcohol or a
behavior. Medically, addiction is of three types:
Tobacco
Addiction, Alcohol Addiction, Drug Addiction
