Yes, absolutely. Here's some easy examples:

Exercising can be a hobby or an addiction.
Gambling can be a hobby or an addiction.
Shopping can be a hobby or an addiction.
Gaming can be a hobby or an addiction.
Sex and masturbation can be addictions. (Not sure if they count as a hobby. 🤔)
Bonus: Cooking & knitting can be a hobby or an addiction.

It's all about how far you go with it. Once you're putting more time or money into your hobby than you should (you start ignoring responsibilities or spend more than you can afford), it's an addiction.

I do know it can be a tool for pain management____ surgery  & chemo  infusions and the  temp  nerropthy   that comes with certain   chemo infusions  ,,,, instead of using the pain relief drugs   reading  engaging in sl or building  takes your mind off the pain ,,,,   i do not think that would be considered an addiction
