Answer by rosette
A habit for example could be a problem drinker. This means the person could stop if they wanted to or for certain times. An addiction is when a person cannot quit or has a very hard time doing so. In a drug addiction for example the body will react more to quitting although in both cases there will be health problems both in use and quitting.

Question by Mary From Wyoming: I am looking for help with my drug abusing drunk husband!?
I asked a question the other day and I got many responses, I was surprised! now I have decided to put my husband into an alcohol treatment center in iowa. can anyone recommend one? It must not be a co-ed facility, I do not want him around other women who are drunks, that will just encourage him, so, what is a good all male alcoholism treatment center?
