Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by psychological and physical dependence on the abused substance and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the addictive substance is rapidly decreased or terminated. When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual controlling the usage. From the booklet Healing Addicted Lives from Narconon Arrowhead.

What is a definitional argument?
A definitional argument is (usually a English essay or something along those lines) a essay where you have to define something and then say that your topic fits with the criteria that needs to be met. For example, lets say if my topic was if NASCAR racing should be a sport. I'd have to define what a sport is, and see if NASCAR fits the criteria it is. Another example would be if love is a addiction to some people. I'd have to try and define what a addiction is, and how (or how not) love can end up as a addiction. Hope this helped!
