What is a addiction to chocolate called?

Chocolate is normally consumed as a snack, but yeah there are people who find chocolate a craving and are possibly addicted to it.

The reason of being addicted to chocolate could have been because of depression, or comfort eating. If you think you might be addicted to chocolate try and limit yourself to it and avoid buying it.

We don't necessarily need chocolate, but seeing it at the checkout is brain-trickery and is so tempting to buy it especially if you feel a craving for it.

When eating it, the brain releases endorphines which is a natural enhancer of pleasurable feelings.

The current healthist definition of "addictive" covers just about everything - and probably everything that anyone enjoys. "Real" chocolate lovers argue that chocolate itself is not "addictive" but the copious amounts of sugar, flavourings, etc. added to the popular products are.
totally! Study's show it might be true, but this is not guaranteed.

What if you swallowed chewing tobacco?

Gum is made of Flavor, corn syrup, and gum base. the gum base is what makes the gum chewy. All the ingredients of gum are digestible, except gum base. Gum base just simply passes through your system just like popcorn. It normally digests within a few days.

When people say it will sit in your stomach for seven years, it is incorrect. That is just an old wives-tail.
If you swallow chewing gum, it goes through your digestive tract whole until it is excreted as it cannot be digested.

Can video game addiction kill you?

Not directly. However, there have been numerous cases in which prolonged, intense sessions of gaming have resulted in a person's death. One reason is that gamers will often be sitting in the same position for many hours on end. After a very prolonged period of sitting in the same position (if I had to guess, around as little as 18 hours or as much as 36 hours) a blood clot can form in a major artery. The blood clot will likely remain dormant until the player takes a break, and as soon as they change positions and/or stand up the blood clot can become dislodged and shoot into the person's heart causing cardiac arrest. Other things unrelated to blood clots, usually related to extreme hypertension, can lead to a gamer's death.

So, no, not directly. The sedentary nature of gaming can definitely lead to issues that can lead to the death of those who game.

What is the nature of a gambling addiction?

A gambling addiction is no different than any other addiction. Sometimes people are too immature, narcissistic and selfish to deal with their problems. Or, sometimes people are just too psychologically damaged, and their psyches simply aren't strong enough to withstand it and cope with it, or they don't have enough support from friends and family. Or more than one (or all) of these things can be true.

Whatever the reason, the person feels bad. Addictive behaviors like drugs or gambling provide short-term pleasure. The long-term consequences are terrible, but sometimes when people feel really bad all the time, they will do anything to feel good for just a little while.

Be it gambling, drugs, or compulsive shopping, or compulsive exercise, or whatever else, it makes them feel great for a little while. Drugs get you high. Gamblers experience a high, too, when they're playing. Rather than chasing the dragon, they're chasing the next big win. They feel a rush of excitement and anticipation, each time they make a bet.

Compulsive shoppers experience the, "high of the buy." When they find something they like -- and especially if they can get a bargain on it -- they feel the same kind of excitement and anticipation that gamblers feel. They feel almost euphoric, like a person who is high on heroin or cocaine or speed would feel.

The only way to recover from an addiction is to learn to deny yourself the short-term pleasure, in favor of the long-term reward. Drugs may make you feel great right now, but in the long run, you're miserable. Denying yourself drugs may mean that you feel bad now, but that doesn't mean you won't feel much happier in the future.

Gambling addicts (and compulsive shoppers) throw away all their money and ruin both their careers and all their relationships with their friends, family and spouses, the same way that drug addicts do. Quitting and recovering from the addiction means that you have a steady job to make you feel worthwhile and useful, money to support yourself, and having your friends and family want to be around you again.

How do you know if someone has been abusing drugs?

You can't really tell on your own but your best bet is for you to ask them. If it is a boyfriend, girlfriend, family member, or friend then they should obviously be able to trust you. Just assure them that you are someone that they can trust and that you care about them and that you trust them to make the right decision and you trust them to tell you the truth. Just ask them, that's the only way that you are going to KNOW! Good Luck!

AnswerIf they are doing street drugs Crystal Meth, heroin, etc., you can tell by their glazed eyes and slurred speech. Things missing from where you live. Missed dates. Not calling you for long periods of time. They may have lost weight or you notice they don't have that much of an appetite. Looking withdrawn; mood changes (sometimes rage) asking you for money. These are but a few of the signs.
