What makes an addiction is about how we interact with it and our feelings towards it.
The 6 defining characteristics have been laid out by Daria J. Kuss:
‘mental preoccupation, escapism, mood modifying experiences, neglect of personal life, tolerance, and concealing the addictive behaviour’.
There is no expectation that people in Paisley will need to overcome all their character flaws in other to beat their addiction.
