Addictions

What is an Addiction? Addictions can be viewed as a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it. Pleasure and enjoyment would have originally been sought, however over a period of time involvement with the substance or activity is needed to feel normal. Some psychology professionals and many laymen now mean 'addiction' to include abnormal psychological dependency on such things as gambling, food, computers, internet, work, exercise, idolizing, watching TV and shopping.

With that said, I wonder if drinking "Dr. Pepper" could be associated as an addiction....? Hmmm... Food for thought.
