It's not the activity or object itself that defines addiction but our relationship to whatever is the external focus of our attention or behavior.
Just as it's possible to drink alcohol without being addicted to it, so one can engage in any activity without addiction.
On the other hand, no matter how valuable or worthy and activity may be, one can relate to it in an addicted way.
. . . Our definition of addiction: any repeated behavior, substance-related or not, in which a person feels compelled to persist, regardless of its negative impact on his life and the lives of others.
The distinguishing features of any addiction are compulsion, preoccupation, impaired control, persistence, relapse, and craving.

A typical Kansas pumpjack. Kirsten, Hayley, and I took the new car on a drive out of town looking for things to photograph and just wanting to be together. It was a nice time.
It can shatter relationships, tear families apart, ruin children, turn parents into shells, and can cause death in some cases...
Be careful what you let yourself fall into... the things you do matter to more than just you.
The wifes addictions. She loves her iPhone. I bought a D90 and gave her my D40. Now she won't put the camera down. Can't blame her. I was the same way about the D40 when i first got it and i'm still the same way about my D90. I'm pretty hooked on my iPhone too. So i guess i should have labeled this one Our Addiction.
Which developed into an addiction. Apparently only 1 in 3 people can curl their tongue like that, but who knows how common it is among cats?

"Hi, my name is Karla and I am a nutellaholic."
;)
Ok, you got me: Living in a world made of nutella would be my personal paradise. Unlike many others I don't like to empty glasses of it with a spoon, but still I wouldn't want to imagine my life without this tasty hazelnut-creme. Saturday morning without it - unthinkable!

(You guys, I don't have much time this weekend so I won't be able to comment as much as I'd like to. But I'm gonna catch up with you. Have a great weekend.)
MMORPG addiction causes people to become anitsocial because they lock themselves in a room and just stare at screen getting no face-to-face interaction.

Entrance nearest Ansel Road on the northwest facade of the Hitchcock Center for Women, an addiction treatment facility located at 1227 Ansel Road in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
This is the former Our Lady of the Lake Seminary, known informally as St. Mary's Seminary. The building sits on an 11-acre site adjacent to the Cleveland Cultural Gardens and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Ground was broken in 1924 and a portion of the seminary opened for students and staff on November 7, 1924. The remainder of the seminary was completed on September 14, 1925. The chapel was finished on October 1, 1925.
The 95,000 square foot facility was designed by local architects Franz C. Warner and W.R. McCornack, and built by the Schirmer-O'Hara Co. (It is unclear who did the exterior artwork.) It is in the Mission Revival architectural style and the exterior is buff colored tapestry brick.
The seminary had more than 200 rooms, which included 150 single-occupancy bedrooms for instructors and students, classrooms, two refectories (dining rooms), a kitchen, several lounges, library, gymnasium, and chapel.
The building faces southwest, and is in the form of a rectangle bisected by a central wing. This central wing contains the chapel, which features walls lined with travertine marble, an open-timbered ceiling, bronze Stations of the Cross cast in Germany, 24 stained glass windows by Zettler of Munich, and an apse decorated with a mosaic of hand-laid colored glass.
The library on the second floor above the former main entrance. It is domed and features shelves for 40,000 volumes. It is decorated in the Mission Revival style with stained glass, marble, wrought-iron grill work, carved oak moldings, and frescoes.
The rear wing houses two refectories, one for students and a smaller one for faculty. Both are in the Mission Revival style, with unfinished plaster walls and open-beam ceilings. Numerous paintings hang the walls. In the basement below this wing is the kitchen, with dumbwaiters connecting the kitchen to the refectories above.
The two interior courtyards framed by the building were originally landscaped in the style of a Spanish garden.
The seminary provided both undergraduate and graduate programs until 1954, when an undergraduate program was established at Borromeo College Seminary in Wickliffe, Ohio (the site of the former Marycrest School). Our Lady of the Lake Seminary closed in September 1990. The graduate program moved to Borromeo College, while the undergraduate program was moved to John Carroll University in University Heights, Ohio.
Hitchcock Center for Women is an addiction treatment center for women founded in 1971. It purchased the former seminary in 1992.
The latest addition to my collection: Invicta R8 (Russian Diver + Sea Spider hybrid). Carbon fiber dial. Certainly the most pedestrian of all my timepieces thus far, but it fills a need. Nothing fancy, very utility. Polyurethane bracelet. Gunmetal Stainless Steel Case displays a fixed coin-edge bezel. Numbered, limited edition. 52mm case.
This was my first attempt at depicting addiction. Halfway through going through a few shots of this nature, I got up and moved onto something else. See next photo.

Prince George, B.C. – Do you know someone making a difference in the health of your community?
If the answer is yes then Northern Health would like to hear from you.
The Community Health Star Program asks members of the public to nominate northerners making a difference to the health of their community and the people living in it.
15 year old Prince George resident Myles Mattila was introduced as the first Community Health Star this afternoon at the University Hospital of Northern BC.
He was recognized for partnering with mindcheck.ca to promote mental health in youth through school presentations.
Mattila was inspired to learn more about mental health because of the struggles an ex-hockey teammate was having and after learning the story of how ex-Canuck Rick Rypien had lost his battle with the illness.
“It’s estimated that one in five Canadians will develop a mental illness at some time in their lives,” said Matilla.
“I’m advocating for people who have issues to know they can get help.”
Prince George-Mackenzie Liberal MLA Mike Morris also spoke this afternoon and said after a 32 year career with the RCMP he knows the issue well.
“The majority of the files I worked on or police officers today are dealing with are people who have addictions issues or mental health issues. And they contribute significantly to the workload that our police officers have,” said Morris.
“And I admire him (Matilla) for doing that at 15 years of age. He showed great leadership by doing what he’s done and I think he’s worthy of being recognized as the first recipient of this award.”
If you’d like to nominate a Community Health Star go to northernhealth.ca. One winner will be announced on a monthly basis.
