i also think, every ritual, especially with friends, can make you seek it more and more. not necessarily physically addictive, but also socially somehow. sometimes you need to vent and then just do it because thats what comes to your mind first - instead of processing through sport or other activities. addiction comes in various forms, is what I want to say

totally agree, it is not necessarily a physical addiction in the same way people are addicted to social media, junk food, or even exercise. You can form a habit around Anything that brings you pleasure, this is not a bad thing necessarily until it starts negatively impacting your life. Discipline is the most important thing, everyone has their vices it's just a matter of what we use and how.
