5. Beyond a habit it may also be a compulsion, often driven by the substance and it’s effects, as well as external influences suggesting one cannot deal with life, without continuing to explore the addiction.
6. It can be thought of as a subjective word, and have variables. IE: I seem to be addicted to shoes, though it’s never truly affected me adversely.
7. Some are more deeply rooted, even if not enjoyed. CURE is probably as subjective a word as Addiction. IE: I know people who quit smoking for as long as 20 years and went back to it.
8. How is often situational, circumstantial, and again influenced.
9. All
10. That ties into good or bad, and the list could be volumes here. Obvious ones are any substances. Any suggestions of sexual addictions, or mine a shoe "addictions" don’t really fall into the the classification in a strict sense.
11. Another I can’t personally attest to. I love shoes.
12. No
13. I suspect in my view, my addiction is an OK one.
