Three addictions often not understood well are: caffeine, video games, and sex.
1. Caffeine
With search engine, searching for, "is mocha, latte.. an addiction?"
Google & Bings search results returned: "mocha, latte.., caffeine is a mild dependence.." and "not as bad as drugs" -- They kind of avoid the question.
However if you search for is caffeine an addiction, you should see a big Yes and... it's "most consumed world-wide" psychologically addictive drug.
If you try quitting, you may find you've return to it for want of interest /indifference.
On the other hand coffee is a semi-social activity (social healthy) though as such, that can addict other people.
Replacing coffee with real fruit juices and caffeine free Tea are mega healthy for your body and mind.
If you think alcohol isn't an addiction, visit AA (alcoholics anonymous). Wine is sometimes not classified with alcohol, appearing more refined. Beer was common with tv and video games.
2. Video games
Society is more comfortable with saying video games are an addiction. That many games are intentionally made to be addictive.
Video games can be fun, interactive, skill training, a social connection. Video games are often played for something to do. - see next item, sex.
— Here is topic re Alcohol consumption3. Sex
Sometimes humans catch sex addiction, it's as simply catching an unseen flu, and often not necessarily ones fault. Unlike humans, animals and critters don't have as much trouble with addiction as well as sex addiction. That likely means all animals are healthier than humans including moles, rodents, and bats! Addiction to sex are influences from advertising, magazines, books, print, internet, as well as mixed with habits of alcohol, gambling, video games, and drugs. It can also be as simple as puberty without a role model.
"Makes you go blind" is an old saying. Though in reality, sex addiction reduces inner vision: limits self control, lowers esteem, worth, confidence, including ones moral strength; our spirit inside is dimmer. We can lose much of our lives to addiction.
While addicted to sex, our decisions are not as clear, ability is underestimated, as well as one's purpose, and helpfulness to self and others. Our potential impact on society and humanity are reduced simply because (just like catching a flubug) we have caught addiction to something that is natural and part of life.
Most social and religious beliefs teach avoid materials and places were one is more vulnerable to acquire addiction. Those ideals are taught by Buddhist, Catholic, Christian, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism... Sport coaches commonly teach sex/masturbation looses ones strength. Medical and health org's also believe in self control.
Some people abstain from sex an entire lifetime including Monks, Nuns, Popes, Bishops, as well groups within Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, and Jainism.
Some couples practice chastity within marriage, only having sex for children. Image while being married and also single, abstaining from sex for a year. Did you know you can do that?

If one doesn't think caffeine, video games, pot, sex are bad /addictive, and perhaps won't feel fault, regret, neither discouragement. Though practicing developing those virtues brings deeper connections, relationships, and people being attracted to you, hidden insight, increased mental and physical health & strength.
Some live entire lives held back by addictions (like an unseen flu bug) our addiction are believed to be cause of our world virus epidemic. While addictions injure us, there are many websites, organizations, and groups that actually care about you and your happiness in life.
With getting rid of addiction; don't focus on what you don't have, you've lost, on what others have, neither dwell on guilt & failure. Rather focus toward discovering and testing things that build you, while avoiding, and discarding unhealthy stuff. If the old saying it true "Makes you go blind" then by breaking addiction, you will see your inner vision restored. Try this for 1 week you'll be glad you gave it a try.
