Short term pleasure, not realizing the long term damage. Examples: alcohol, chemical, sex, spending/buying, gambling, work, news, food, video games, etc...
Do you know what your addiction is? Mine has been that I'm a news junky. The news calls me all the time: Come here Daniel and we will have a good ole time. Negative addictions tell us lies. Tells us that we are better with the pleasure. What is or has been your negative addition?
How do you break an addiction? Acknowledging it, knowing that it is there, realizing that it is more than a bad habit, recognizing that it is evil, is perhaps the most challenging step. Knowing that your life will be better with out it.

This is why following your heart is a healthy way to live.
"the word intuition is defined as going beyond mental analysis to gain direct perception of events independent of any reasoning (brain) process. Matching the speed of emotions requires a high-powered special energetic organ that can intuit or 'sense' emotions, send and receive their energy at literally the speed of light.....It requires an organ capable of keeping up with the pace of events that challenge us....That special organ is....the lump of energy in our chest that works at the speed of life and love..." (Paul Pearsall, Ph.D., Partners in Pleasure)
It's obvious which from which side of the argument you are coming and as such have omitted the entire category of addictions centering on deprivation.
Not bad for a beginner, though, :)
