Addiction: alcohol, drugs, gambling, exercise, sex, internet and other addictions

Addiction is a compulsive and uncontrollable impulse that can often begin harmlessly and then spiral out of control. There are many types of addiction including:

Alcohol addiction
Drug addiction
Gambling addiction
Exercise addiction
Sex addiction
Additions to the internet

It is not fully know why some people will develop an addiction while others wont and it is believed that a number of factors may combine to result in addictive behaviours.

Recognising you have an addiction and seeking help is vital to regaining control of your behaviour.
