Is something, by itself, addicting? Can a single item, substance, or activity be so provocative and gratifying that a mere passing participation in it is enough to hook you? Or is there something more at play? Too often the blame is placed solely on what a person is addicted to. It’s easy to say that the drugs give you energy, or calm you down- or that Warcraft puts you in another world, drinking numbs you to the pain, and that pornography takes the place of a relationship. In the end however, something has to be missing for that person- in order for addiction to fill it up.
