An addiction is something you want, but don't like or approve of. The good stuff is what you like and approve of.

I don't want to save humanity and don't like it, but I approve of it. I want to play games and like it, but I don't approve of it. I can't really think of any activity that meets all criteria, +wanting/+liking/+approving. What should I do?

Really? That seems... odd. Are there no healthy enjoyable activities that you want to do? Not even sex?

When I would explain wanting vs liking vs approving Sex was my go to example for an activity that fits all three.

Perhaps experimenting with ways to change your disposition about either wanting or liking about a particular activity you approve of?

Or, you know, approving.
