Addiction is a debilitating condition that typically interferes with everyday function. In theory, anything pleasurable can be addictive. Examples include drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, sex, gambling, gaming, etc. Addiction takes place when you build tolerance to the effects of a pleasurable activity. In turn, you will have to increase the amount used to achieve the same effect, but then weaning off becomes increasingly difficult, and hence, you are said to be addicted.
