Addiction

Addiction Definition | GradesUp.gg

A physical or psychological dependence on a substance, like drugs

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to break the habit of hitting the snooze button every morning. Much like this struggle, addiction is a cycle of dependence where breaking free feels nearly impossible, similar to how you might feel chained to the comfort of your bed. Just as the repeated push of the snooze button keeps you in a cycle of delayed waking, addiction traps the brain in a cycle of seeking the temporary comfort or high of a substance, making it difficult to escape its grasp.
