I know we artist want to be special, but sorry to disappoint, being an addict (to whatever) is just part of human nature and really not because of creativity at all.

Part of my job is to observe people and people groups. Know what? Whether a person is creative or not, almost everyone is addicted to something.

I'll take my family as an example..... my son is not creative at all.... yet he's addicted to playing games and eating candy, if I'd let him, he won't be doing anything else all day.

My oldest daughter is very creative.... dance, drawing and more. But, she's not addicted to it at all, she likes doing it, but she isn't addicted to creating art in the more traditional way, but has this other thing.... doing nails, she's almost obsessed with that. Some of her nails are little pieces of art, amazing what you can do with them.

Then there's my other daughter, she's somewhere in between. A bit creative, but not over the top. When she feels like it she will do something with, when not, she won't. She's addicted to email, site mails and forums. If I let her, I will not see my computer all day, she always seems to find someone to email or chat with.

My wife is addicted to God, she really is..... at times it's like an obsession. I'm not like that, not that extreme as she is. She's not creative, doesn't have many hobbies, but religion is everything in her life.

Then there's me, I'm very creative and yes, I'm addicted to modeling & poser..... at the moment. I always need some way to express what's in me. I often need to force myself to do something else, to let creativity be and do other stuff.

I know very uncreative people who are addiction to food or sports or tv or work or whatever they may be into. It's part of human nature, we need something to fill our life with and when we find that thing we love, it's pretty easy to become and addiction. From what I've seen we all are addicted to something, that has nothing to do with being creative or not.
