100 pairs of shoes. 30+ high dollar purses. Stacks of baseball cards. What about that nightly 6-pack after work, a pot of coffee every morning before work or those 2-3 midday energy drinks daily just to stay focused and get by??

What is an addiction? Are all people guilty of at least one addiction, good or bad? And are all addictions actually BAD for you?
