Not even most mental health professionals and it steams me up thinking about it sometimes. If someone would have told me that in the very beginning, I'm 100% certain I would have at least intellectually accepted it, because science backs it up.
I have an addictive personality and that means I'm an addict. The brain initially doesn't give a damn whether it's a behavior or substance. I don't have a problem with that and didn't when I first learned that. I accept me and I accept that I have challenges.
I think it's a wonderful thing that this topic shows up every now and then.
