Behavioral addiction is real though. Mr. Galt didn't say it was over-diagnosed, he seemed to have denied it's existence. Which is of course ludicrous.

We are creatures of habit. Keep the habit up, and your brain wires itself a certain way. Can that wiring be undone? I think it can. We hear about going out of your comfort-zone all the time, for that purpose.
But, until then, familiarity can be so comfortable and/or so pleasurable that it overules other aspects of your life to the point of...you guessed it...addiction.
