Is your SMS Habit a Symptom?

Following up on the "compulsive text messaging on the rise" report from the The Priory clinic in south-west London, a casino news site waves a red flag on research drawing links between addictions such as gambling and drinking and other behavioral addictions, such as text messaging and Internet surfing.

"Although the research is still far from completion, there is a suggestion that people that are technology addicts exhibit the same characteristics as compulsive gamblers. Therefore people who suspect that they have technical addiction are advised to refrain from participating in gambling, online and off as they may be in a higher risk category for gambling addiction.
