What is an addiction? What kind of personalities are more prone to addictive behavior? I often ponder on these questions and have never been sure of the answer. The two traits a person needs to have to become addicted is weakness and boldness. Normally, addiction is a negative thing, however, it often comes with passion and adventurism, both of which can be considered good.After watching the season three episode of Grey's Anatomy - Love/Addiction, I couldn't agree more with the few ending quotes by Meredith Grey.
“The thing about addiction – it never ends well because eventually whatever it was that was getting us high stops feeling good and starts to hurt.”
“Still, they say you don’t kick the habit until you hit rock bottom. But how do you know you’re there?”
“Sometimes, letting it go hurts even worse.”
I normally don't allow myself to get to addicted to anything, fearing that will it hurt me the deeper I let myself go. But of course, there are certain things I cannot resist and have been a victim of this process. I just hope in the end, after the addiction is long over, it can only make us stronger.

A medical definition of addiction is hard to pin down. But most of us feel like we know what it means doing something you cant stop, even though it interferes with daily living and good relationships. Its something that controls you, despite good intentions to stop it. Many opinions surround exactly what causes addiction. The National Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse calls addiction a primary, chronic disease with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. The disease is often progressive and fatal. Often, It seems that people whose parents abused substances tend to become addicts themselves. Some experts say it might be genetics, while others say it could be a learned behavior.
