What is addiction?

http://goo.gl/Ce2gX  An addiction is a damaging attachment to an activity, behaviour, or substance. It can become obsessive , even compulsive, and is thus deemed uncontrollable by the individual. It most often leads to damaging outcomes.

Addictions are very different from everyday habits in that the person suffering is compelled to follow a behaviour which is destructive. Addictions also differ very much from dependencies in that addictions are for the most part psychological not physiological therefore treatment by hypnosis is a very powerful remedy.
