Anything Can Become Addictive
We often associate addiction with smoking, alcohol, gambling and drugs but anything can potentially become addictive. Just a few examples of behaviour that can fall into this category include shopping, the Internet, social media and even work.
What they all have in common is the feelings of pleasure or “highs” that are produced after engaging in them.
Addictions can have a significant impact on all areas of day-to-day life, including relationships and work.
