Can addictions about cleaning or healthy things also be bad?

[Anonymous]

Typically the most common addictions are alcohol, drugs or sex. Those are the ones that can impact someone's life. How about addictions about other healthy things?

What if someone is an addict to cleaning or reading books too much, exercise, more water intake than usual, too much vegetables, etc.

Addiction is addiction.

The definition of addiction is that it negatively affects one's life and/or those around them.

That can take many forms.

Yes, as you still loose all control of other aspects of life. The Addiction is dictating your lifestyle.

Usually doctors determine the healthiness of something by asking you if it interferes with your daily life, such as your job.

[shades777]

healthy things that you do repeatedly are usually called good habits and are not classified as an addiction because addiction alludes to the fact that the activity is harmful
