Fatherly Advice agony auntThe best definition 0f an addiction that I have read was: When you know some thing is going to hurt you and those around you, and you still do it, then you are addicted. Addictions can be habits, as far as the meaning of the words. In general you can change a habit without outside help but an addiction needs help. I hope that helps.

ilovebowsandcherries agony auntaddiction is something you are addicted too can't get enough of like drugs you can't get enough of them you need more and more.

bad habit is something you do but don't realise you do like say picking your nose people do that without realising its a bad habbit but something they've always done.

tomosjames agony auntA bad habit, is something like biting your nails, picking your nose etc.

An addiction, is when you have a strong craving for something like nicotine, caffine, narcotics, something you believe you need when in truth you probably don't.
