I remember a t-shirt when I ran saying "there's no problem too big or complicated you can't run away from"
I would disagree with that definition of "addiction". Addiction to me is when you become so obsessed with something that you allow it to cause illogical harm in other areas of your life. Its very possible to be really into something, even alcohol, without it damaging other areas of your life. I do agree that it is very possible for anyone to be addicted to pretty much anything most would consider harmless or even beneficial. Addiction is just going too far.
