I think of addiction in its literal terminology. That is, you are dependent upon something to make you feel normal. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing-I am, quite literally, addicted to caffeine. I suppose I feel addictions become a problem when they're also your obsession. That is, not only do you regularly partake of a thing out of habit, but even when you're not indulging in this thing you think about it, obsess over the idea of having it all the time.
