Why the name?
Different people get pleasure out of different things - 'the good,the bad and the ugly'-(applying equally to people or whatever it is that they 'get off' on), be it 'Sex, Drugs Rock & Roll', dangerous sports, going to work even, and that's just the tip of an iceberg!
Dictionary definitions echo the following statement - to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively
From an optimistic approach an 'Addict' could be considered a fan; an enthusiast; a devotee maybe. If your'e a pessimist an addict is over-dependant; reliant-upon; weak-willed. This could go on and on. The point is it's ALL subjective, it's ALL about perception, perspective, opinion, belief and acceptibility, and that's a definitve truth! It's more about YOUR viewpoint, YOUR understanding of the language used, and YOUR beliefs.
