When habit becomes addiction
I'm creating this thread to answer this simple question many of us or not seem to wonder about.
When does a habit transform into an addiction ? What is the point that happens ?
What signs should we look for that indicate we are building an addiction and maybe some helpful advice on how to spot the symptoms and prebent them from ocuring.

These are great questions. I am not a professional or expert on addiction or psychology, but my understanding is that an addiction is when we continue a behavior that creates a positive short term feeling but is also associated with negative consequences or outcomes.
I think if you find yourself doing this "habit" even when you are trying not to do it, that is a red flag. I also think this is something to talk to your doctor about if you are concerned just to get a professional perspective.
All the best to you ❤️
