A. Being addicted has nothing to do with the quality of the individual who has become afflicted by the need to do something. It is otherwise damaging in significant areas of your life, but is not a statement about whether one is good or bad.

ADDICTIONS ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL, and all people are subject to some degree of becoming addicted at something. Some people have a higher propensity for certain types of addiction, though the recent thoughts suggest that this is not a character issue or one that "good" people can avoid at a higher rate than "bad" people.

What is important is to eventually recognize one’s addiction and make strides to gain control. Spiritual approaches, medication approaches, therapeutic approaches, and support groups can all be effective and appropriate interventions to address this issue.
