The terms dependency and addiction seem to conjure feelings and thoughts of negativity.  But I realize more and more we have dependencies and addictions which are hugely positive for us and our wellbeing.  I speak with others frequently about this.  Going to the gym, playing an instrument, drinking a favourite beverage can be great examples of 'healthy addictions/dependencies' lets say.  Such things can improve our wellbeing and health.  Equally if taken to excess they could impact in detrimental ways.    I suspect the key with anything we need or need to do, or to consume is 'are we doing it in a balanced way?'  Hard to know at times isn't it.  I also suspect, discussing it not only with chat GPT or a health professional could help to put our minds at rest.
