An addiction has nothing to do with the degree to which something is done. In your example of the lottery winner the person wants to live asst the bunny ranch and has no desire to change. When a person is unable to change a behavior thay they wish to its an addiction

I mean addictions are abnormal dependency on something.
Addiction and dependency are two different things.

When you have sex you are literally doing drugs, you just happen to make the drugs yourself. The same thing happens with certain types of food. There have been studies where rats chose sugar over cocaine.

An astonishing 94 percent of rats who were allowed to choose mutually-exclusively between sugar water and cocaine, chose sugar. Even rats who were addicted to cocaine quickly switched their preference to sugar, once it was offered as a choice. The rats were also more willing to work for sugar than for cocaine.
The researchers speculate that the sweet receptors (two protein receptors located on the tongue), which evolved in ancestral times when the diet was very low in sugar, have not adapted to modern times’ high-sugar consumption.
Therefore, the abnormally high stimulation of these receptors by our sugar-rich diets generates excessive reward signals in the brain, which have the potential to override normal self-control mechanisms, and thus lead to addiction.

I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. My mind used to create imaginary problems and letting go of the constant thoughts was hellish.
Being on Paxil for 17 years has helped me with sexual rumination and feeling bad about myself . The medicine can only do so much though. Withdrawal will be a problem at some point.
Addictions have not been a problem for me other than feeling worthless. I don't gamble , do drugs, drink alcohol, or have sex with countless women. I take rejection very hard and it bothers me a great deal with I can't close a deal with a lady that I want to date. I over analyze the causes and reasons but never come to any firm answers or solutions. Life has become depression. I feel like everyone is having sex except me. I feel worthless despite being successful academically and professionally . Life is difficult. I wish God would place me in Heaven and help me lose this frustration behind.

So why is sex the topic of addiction?
I don't know if it is "just sex". I think it includes porn, masturbation, etc.
quote:
Food is another one. People make food addiction out to be a bad thing. However the real culprit is lack of exercise. Take Michael Phelps for example. The dude downs 10k plus calories per day during training. So food addiction is not accurate. It is really lazy arse syndrome.
Like sex, binge eating can be an addiction.
