You can picture addiction as a rope that only pulls one way: something has hold of you, and stopping is not simply a matter of deciding to stop. The word names that pull. In its full weight it describes a body and mind that depend on a drug; the same word is also used lightly, for a TV series or a snack, borrowing the shape of the pull without the danger.
