	==Behavioural Addiction==		==Behavioural Addiction==

	An addictive behaviour is any activity or behaviour that becomes the major focus of a person's life, resulting in a physical, mental, and/or social withdrawal from their normal day to day obligations. There are different types of addiction and virtually any activity or substance has the potential to become addictive. Drugs, alcohol, and nicotine are examples of substance addictions, whereas behavioural addictions may include gambling, sexual activity, Internet, food related behaviours, shopping, work, or exercise. Compulsions and addictions are intertwined. Addiction involves the compulsion to take an addictive substance (such as alcohol or heroin) or to carry out an addictive behaviour. Compulsive behaviours are repetitious and are performed in an effort to reduce or control tension resulting from inner feelings often generated by anxiety, stress,or insecurity. Compulsive behaviours are often ritualistic but typically do not escalate and the compulsions are not carried out in a secretive and deceitful manner.

	Addiction is the continued problematic repetition of a behaviour, physiologically and/or psychologically. Classic hallmarks of addiction include impaired control over substance use or behavior, preoccupation with an activity, using despite consequences, and denying there is a problem. Physical dependence occurs when your body has to adjust to the substance by incorporating the substance into its 'normal' functioning. This can lead to tolerance and withdrawal.
