Question: Is it possible to have an addiction you do not enjoy!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The whole notion of addiction is to keep doing it even when you want to stop; even as the substance or activity rips your body apart, and you want to stop really badly, you can't, you are completely and utterly powerless!.

Again the word "addiction" is defined by being an unwilling slave to a habit!.

So, don't call gamers addicts ;-)!. We WANT to play; in case you didn't catch that we WANT to keep playing, and no, we don't care if it harms our eyes making them bloodshot, that is why Visine was invented!

Do you see the difference!? Addiction is not something you like years after you started, after doing it for years, it just isn't fun anymore as another poster said!.

The majority of gamers I have met, even though they played for years, all enjoyed video games!. also, many old folks I met enjoyed playing chess, they play it every day for years, but, funny how older adults don't call chess players "addicts," and yet gamers, because they are "losers" get all sorts of labels tagged on them but then you learn quickly that once has been tagged on you nothing you ever do is right!. Not even attempts at self improvement; because the people of this society are worthless pathetic pot-bellied out of shape swine like that, especially white people of the mainstream, all the "cool" people!.

Bastards ride trends like damned cattle; I don't see how that is "cool!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

Of course it is!.!.!. many dont actually enjoy drugs!. Many know that drugs screw up people's lives in so many ways!.

Many are addicted to other things, gamling, smoking, unrequited love, looking at yourself in the mirror all the time, picking your skin and pores, having sex, washing their hands all the time and Yahoo answers!.!.!. When the addiction is affecting you primary goals in life, or have taken over your goals in life then that is not enjoyable!.

I'm addicted to the following that I now no longer enjoy! They are interfering with my primary goals!.

1!. Danish pastries, pizza, burgers, curry, and other delights!
2!. Eating out ALL the time!
3!. Money!.!.!. and spending it
4!. Shoes (yes shoes!)
5!. Yahoo Answers

Lot of things are fun at first but it's when you can't stop and they interfere with your relationships, work or school or you get you into trouble with the law and they almost always end of making you miserable because you become a slave to them!. For example!.!.!.when you first start drinking you think, man I'm enjoying this!. It's a far different story if, down the line, you do want to stop and find it very difficult!. The nature of addiction is!.!.!.!.it never gets better!.!.!.it always gets worse!. You may enjoy something the first few times but if you get hooked it ceases to be enjoyable!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
