Although most would consider an addiction a negative, the great thing about an addiction is that it can be channeled into a more desired addiction with a small amount of mental alteration. Someone who is stuck on watching TV for 30 minutes every day at 10:00 AM can quite readily turn that into 30 minutes of exercise time every day by making a conscious decision to switch activities. This works quite well and so one might desire to look at their addictions and perform this channeling process on them. It is a way of using our built-in routine more to our advantage.

I see what you mean. I traded in the time I used to get high in, for time I spend blogging. In fact, I may have taken it a little to far, as I may have traded my heroin addiction for an Internet/blogging addiction. I guess we can get obsessed with just about anything.
