CONTINUED USE, DESPITE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES
That goes way beyond cocaine. That could mean continued use of anything.
Addiction isn’t just the use of chemicals such as nicotine, alcohol and heroin. It’s bigger than that.
Examples of addictions: Internet, Porn, Binge Eating/Watching, Smoking, Alcohol, Drugs, etc.
Again, the true and simple definition of addiction is - continued use, despite adverse consequences.

The true definition of the nature of addiction, lies phonetically within the word itself - A Dick in Action!
The thinking behind this is similar to the etymology of Assume - an ASS out of U and ME. Although addiction was probably not created this way - we cannot be sure - it sure made me laugh at least.

The thing we all have towards the Net - you know, not being able to get your bum off the couch in front of the laptop?
"Addiction is harmful"
Thief *pointing his gun at the baby*: Quick, hand over the laptop!
Mother: Take my baby!! Please leave me and my laptop alone!

I’m in trouble tonight because I haven’t gambled since Saturday, but my fingers and addiction aren’t allowing me to not bet the Brewers tonight

A lie that tons of people believe. Addiction is just something people use to escape the fact that they are weak and that they just don't WANT to take control over themselves.
Guy1:Oh my God, I'm so in love with my games. It's obvious that I am addicted.
Guy2: Shut up you pussy, get some self control or I'm kicking you in the nuts and I'll be "addicted" with that cause it's so fun. You're using addiction just so you can go "Oh, I have no control, so I'm just gonna keep doing it, lalala."
