  • vague anecdote:

    I remember reading of psychologists who considered drug abuse not as addiction, but as an unhealthy relationship with a substance. They argue that addiction is a facile description of drug abuse.

    Apparently this is highly controversial, although in the extreme limit it resembles addiction in that users don't control their use, just like someone with OCD cant stop spending hours everyday flicking light switches an exact number of times.
