Addiction is chemical.


Not always,

For many it is a habit, a behavior. behaviors are complex

Many drunks/druggies are not chemically addicted.

That’s habit. Different, though related, animal.

Habit won’t cause you to go through detox. If you don’t take your stuff for a couple of days and wind up in detox, that’s an addiction.
