> RodA craving is a fleeting and satisfiable need. An addiction is a persistent and an unsatisfiable need. (e.g., I am "craving" chocolate, so I eat a piece of chocolate, and don't want or need chocolate for days or weeks. On the other hand, I am "addicted" to chocolate, so I eat a piece of chocolate, then another, then another and can't stop.)
