Addiction is when somebody is enjoying something and finds it pleasurable, causing them to continue this action of a period of time. Some additions are drugs, phone usage, alcohol, and smoking. A few symptoms are that you loose time doing it, you can't stop doing it, and without it you are angry, depressed, restless, or irritable. Some coping strategies are to try and do less of the activity, filling your love/belonging need, or even talking to a trusted person about it. Addiction is treated by going to rehab, and recovering gradually by slowly stopping the activity.
