The Critical Signs Of An Addiction
3. Change Of Interests

Addiction to one thing means lack of interest in anything else. The main focus becomes the addiction and fulfilling the need for it at all costs. If a person loses interest in things that he or she once enjoyed doing, and has replaced them with one overpowering behavior, it is likely due to the development of an addiction. The addictive substance will take priority over anything else and other social engagements will likely be avoided, should the substance not be present.
