Answer by rosette
A habit for example could be a problem drinker. This means the person could stop if they wanted to or for certain times. An addiction is when a person cannot quit or has a very hard time doing so. In a drug addiction for example the body will react more to quitting although in both cases there will be health problems both in use and quitting.

There’s no difference. If you have a drug habit, you’re an addict.
A drug habit turns into an addiction.A habit comes from the person,an addiction affects the mind and body.
Drug habit is initial stage of addiction
They are basically the same thing on different levels of severity. Either way you are using drugs and that in no way can be positively affecting your life. You should seek treatment, or at least educate yourself on treatment options. Because a drug habit will turn into a drug addiction.
