In my crash course to new psych techs about addiction I list off all the common legal addictions which goes something like this:

  • Caffeine
  • Nicotine
  • Alcohol
  • Gambling
  • Pornography
  • Social Media
  • Binge Eating
  • Non-suicidal self-injury
  • And depending on the location, Marijuana

I tell them that mine is caffeine and my partner's is nicotine, then we talk about motivational interviewing and then I move on to dementia.

Is it fair to say that no one is without some sort of addiction?

Iirc correctly in one of the John Dies at the End books the mc speculates that the puritans are getting high off their feelings of superiority.
