One last go.

   No, to say that an emotion can be addictive
does NOT mean therefore that an emotion is addictive.

   An emotion can be addictive depending on what's
going on with the person concerned.

   Others can have the same emotion without it being
or becoming addictive.

   The slide from one to the other that GUEST makes
is illegitimate, doesn't follow, isn't necessarily
the case. To elide the two is a straw man. I think
GUEST will know what that means, being an educated
person. That elision has nothing to do with what I
think (or said).

   Incidentally, that kind of insisting that another
poster is saying something different from what they
either said or meant, is one of many ways of diluting
and skewing and undermining much chance of progress
in our discussions.
