Although habits can quickly turn into addictions there is a distinct difference between the two. When someone has a habit they encounter it on a regular basis and typically receive a good feeling from the habit. For example someone may have a habit of taking a shower as soon as they wake up in the morning and although it may give them a feeling cleanliness and temporary fulfilment they’re not addicted to morning showers. An Addiction is something that provides a sense of pleasure and without it a person will crave it. For example someone who has been smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for the past thirty years would be addicted to cigarettes. If the person tried to give up the cigarettes on any given day they would quickly start to crave them. They don’t crave them because they want one, but because their bodies trick them into thinking that it’s essential to have. This person wouldn’t be able to relieve themselves from the urge of having the cigarette until they fulfil what they believe to be their need to have
