8. I don't usually go in for the "addiction" model as pertains to things like sex or gambling, etc.

And yes, I realize that some behaviors can become compulsive, strongly so- but I've seen too many instances of actual physical addiction as a physiological syndrome (with, for instance, alcohol) to be able to blithely throw the "a" word around with negative behaviors performed, again, compulsively.

That said, if you're roundly humiliated worldwide for, say, pooping on a striped ottoman on the internet, and then the first thing you do even before the scandal is done is go poop on another ottoman online... whatever one wants to call it, you've got a problem.
