QOTD: The word addiction is usually reserved for physical addiction. The research hasn't been definitive on that, it has to be replicated many times.

That being said, Mental addiction? I think it can be. Probably obsession would be a better word. Funny I never ate gum pre-WLS except on a plane. I don't always chew it, but almost always have some with me.

Coffee- I don't know what it is, not that I didn't drink coffee before, but not in a 'have to have multiple cups a day' kind of way. Transfer obsession? Yup. Plus it dulls hunger.

That being said our thoughts can change our brain chemistry and pathways sooo... not a simple answer.

Yes my background is in mental health.

Yes, obsession would work to describe it too!
