May you have only positive addictions. The worst addiction I ever had was the second year I was day-trading. I could have quit up $150,000 but I just had to keep buying. I ended up giving it all back and more like most gambling addicts. That's all it it, gambling, and when you feel compelled to keep trading no matter what you are headed for trouble. and you think you have some kind of formula, which you never really have. Now wouldn't I like to have that $200,000 now? What a fool I was, though along the way I made quite a few very smart calls and trades. But like in Vegas, if you keep playing eventually the house always wins. Got to quit winners. Which habitual gamblers can never seem to do.
