> You don't become addicted because of luxury.

The definition of a luxury is “Something that is not essential but provides pleasure and comfort.”

I’d actually argue that you can only get addicted to luxuries. You wouldn’t say you’re addicted to food, water, or shelter because you need to have them every day.



You can definitely get addicted to food. Eating far above caloric needs because of stress, or because of actual addiction are both common.
