"That could mean biological needs like food or sleep, social needs like work or seeing friends and family, or self-improvement like exercise or pursuing hobbies......"
Work has done all of this to me on repeated occasions, but I wouldn't say I'm addicted to work.
Though..... I suppose I am addicted to the resulting paycheck.
For work, the compulsion comes from outside, not from you. It's not an addiction, it's company profit intruding on your life.
