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.
