Are an addict?

If they can not go a day with out doing that which they seem addicted to, if they cannot go a day with out talking about that vice, if they say they can stop but never seem to try, if they steal or cheat or lie.... If they have to do way more then they once use to just to feel it...

a person is an addict if he/she can't control himself/herself. i believe that the solution of an addict is to manage his/her own self. manage time and effort. everything that is done without moderation would trigger her/him to be an addict

I think that there are many people addict smoking. They even don't know about that (or they don't want to know that). They think that smoking is very normally. They smoke and smoke everyday. Almost of them fall ill when they would old a bit.

An addict is when you can't live without that something you are addicted to. It destroys lives and it becomes a daily habit. Maybe, Addiction is a complex word to describe these circumstances. Addiction is merely physical while dependency is psychological. Addiction is a habit and enslavement of something and is often injurious. Dependency is a reliance to secure or meet your needs. It becomes an Addiction if you are already neglecting neglecting your health. Spending 12 or more hours on that something,and craving for more, feeling depressed only not being with that something, causes problems in school or your work; these are some of the psychological symptoms. These psychological symptoms lead to physical symptoms like headache, it depends on that something.

In my own words, being addicted is akin to "cant get enough of it". Self-control is diminished.

If the person is doing it too much that it affects on his/her life and others. Then its called addiction.
