That's how I look at coffee, I know I'm addicted to it, but I could wean myself off it, but I chose not to, I enjoy it, and as such if I don't have a mug of coffee before I go to work, I get a fierce headache in the mornings. So it is kinda needed for me to function.
And some people do become addicted to food, and I remember reading before that sugar is one of the most difficult things to try and give up.

i can't explain how or why, but I know that if I could bottle how I did it I'd be a multi- millionaire!  |
Maybe it's that everyone could give up if they put their minds to it, but the majority chose not to, like it's a security blanket, and they defined themselves as an addict of such-and-such so to give that up, they would have to in a way rebuild their self identity.
Did you just quit one day?
