What is addiction?

Addiction, also known as dependence, is when someone finds it hard to stop doing something that makes them feel good. You can have a physical or psychological addiction, or both. Physical dependence means that withdrawal symptoms appear if you stop the addictive substance or behaviour. Psychological addiction occurs when you believe you need the addictive substance or behaviour to function. You might think you need the substance at certain times. For instance, to be social at a party or to unwind after work. Or you might think you need it all the time.

What is withdrawal from addiction?

Withdrawal is the process of cutting out, or cutting back on addictive substances. Addictive substances can include some medicines, like opioids or benzodiazepines, or drugs or alcohol. Some behaviours, such as gambling, are also addictive. When your body is getting used to working without the substance or behaviour you might have symptoms. The symptoms can be mild or they may be serious. Knowing what these symptoms are can make quitting easier for you. It can also make it easier for people who are supporting you.
