I can't think of a single addiction that is beneficial. The first person to come up with a 'good addiction' is going to be richer that Jeff Bezos. Opportunity?
If anyone does invent one, remember, this was my idea and I deserve a small cut! Just getting that in now.

I was going to say the same. In fact I googled the difference between Habit and Addiction and this is what I found:
Quote: The words “habit” and “addiction” are frequently interchanged, but there is one significant difference between the two. Habits can be negative or positive, while addictions are only negative. The trick to identifying, which is which often lies in the amount of time and effort it takes to break one.

Sometimes that might be an easy call, but all too often it's subjective.
And if an addiction give the addict pleasure as compensation, who's to say?
Check one or more:
[ ] Religious zealots?
[ ] Right wing political knowers of what's right?
[ ] Left wing political knowers of what's right?
[ ] People jealous of that in which someone else takes pleasure?
[ ] Fill in with those other impeccable judges of good and evil who got on your case

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

I am addicted to large lottery wins.
So far I seem to have resisted feeding my addiction.

Yes, in the same vein, I have been boycotting luxury cars and hotels since ever I was born to protest against wealth, and so far I have been able to stick to this commitment.

Watching or participation?

Actually participation because it is proven, but watching may probably also cause endorphin addiction. And if not coupled with beer and snacks, less dangerous than participation. (I have an interesting theory concerning "no sports lifestyle" which somehow goes minimal loss of life expectancy vs. shorter yet happier life without injuries).

N is a point on the compass
AIR is a song
E is a heading (similar to a point on the compass)
I can only figure these out when someone else provides the answer.

I didn't even get it when the answer was given.
I had to look up what "Air" [^] was in this context.
Quote: An air is a song-like vocal or instrumental composition. The term can also be applied to the interchangeable melodies of folk songs and ballads
It's a good day, I learnt something new.

Nope, turned on safe search filter and looked it up. I've never been into classical music.
