I agree, but at what point does a "hobby" or interest become a problem? I have a friend of mine who is into Mustangs. Has five of them. His "hobby" plays such an important part of his life that it dictates the house he bought - He had to buy a house with extra garage space. He spends his free time working working on his various cars, weekends at car shows, and doesn't have time for a girlfriend.

You can say his hobby is interfering with his life. But no one calls it an addiction.
