So is it the same as an addiction? I know drinking soda is addictive. I would not say it is voluntary since the urges are not coming from me but rather my mind.

So is it the same as an addiction? I know drinking soda is addictive. I would not say it is voluntary since the urges are not coming from me but rather my mind. The first few times it was voluntary. Not anymore. I cannot just stop cold turkey or the cravings will be quite bad. Instead I'm weaning myself off of it.
