Better known today as: Addiction
Better known today as: Addiction
In the 1980's pop psychology, everything was "addiction". However good a description of human misbehavior this might be, our world is full of people who are distracted from ordinary work, ordinary play, and ordinary friendship by preoccupations that take the balance out of life. Some things (alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, opiates) actually enslave the brain, so that one cannot be happy without them.
There is no need to explain how addictions of all kinds hurt those around the addict. The usual cure for an addiction is another addiction. I suggest Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, good religion, exercise, skydiving, or whatever doesn't hurt others.
The good addictions are as much fun as the bad ones, and are much better for me and those around me.
