FYI
The standard definition of addiction comes from the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization, which list nine criteria for determining addiction. The two groups, which prefer the term drug dependence, base their definition on research done since the 1960's, which has determined that multiple traits must be considered in determining whether a substance is addictive.
A diagnosis of mild dependence on a psychoactive drug is determined by meeting three of the nine criteria. Five items show moderate dependence and seven items indicate a strong dependence. (Not all nine items apply to each drug. For example, time and effort spent acquiring a drug are a significant feature of heroin addiction, but have no meaning in nicotine addiction.)
Criteria of Addiction
1. Taking the drug more often or in larger amounts than intended.
2. Unsuccessful attempts to quit; persistent desire, craving.
3. Excessive time spent in drug seeking.
4. Feeling intoxicated at inappropriate times, or feeling withdrawal symptoms from a drug at such times.
5. Giving up other things for it.
6. Continued use, despite knowledge of harm to oneself and others.
7. Marked tolerance in which the amount needed to satisfy increases at first before leveling off.
8. Characteristic withdrawal symptoms for particular drugs.
9. Taking the drug to relieve or avoid withdrawal.
Before applying a test of the nine criteria, the expert first determines if the symptoms have persisted for at least a month or have occurred repeatedly over a longer period of time.
(hey bunny, I'd be careful wif posts like urs...considerin how the papers etc seem to be luvvin quotin BL posts out of context at the moment....we really don't wanna seem like the no-hopers and druggies they think we are!!)

needing a drug is addiction for sure. that's when a drug changes ur brain chemestry and then changes ur behaviour...
but is WANTING a drug an addiction of any sort? cause fark, i'm sure most of us here would aggree that u'll always WANT ur drug of choice.
How fine is that line?
