LOOK UP what it takes to have an addicition. You will not find anorexia, bulemia, and homosexualtiy next to alcohol, nicotine, and heroin. They are no more than an addiction than ADD is an illness. If you could explain how they were an addiction using scientific terms, which you can't, then you already would have written that, which you haven't.

And as far as YOUR definition for addiction. Little Susie didn't make the basketball team, she feels low self-esteem, rejection by her peers, and feels like she needs to be on the team so she will try out next year and work hard in the off season. I guess she is addicted to playing basketball or not playing. I don't know, its your theory. Also, eating is and addictive behavioral disorder too, huh. An addiction must cause a chemical imbalance which is what causes withdrawl. When a man stops screwing guys or an anorexic stops working out or a bulemic stops puking, they don't have withdrawl, go into shock, or anything of the sort.

Go back, read some real medical journals with actual SCIENTIFIC evidence and come back to me.

The only differences between bulemia, anorexia, and homosexuality is the expressed symptoms of the disorder.

BTW: Suzie is vulnerable to the coach if she's a dyke, and promises to let her on the team for a quicky. (This also happens quite often, thank you very much.)
