You can try and deny it, but addictive & compulsive behaviours are a part of everyone's life. They are not restricted to drugs and alcohol, and can be as heinous as anything you can imagine. Or as miniscule as doing nasty little things behind someone's back to try and get even.
From God's perspective, one act is no worse than the other, but rather is the motivation in someone's heart that is the deciding factor. By this perspective; spitting in someone's coffee is no worse than physically putting them in hospital. Anything you have in your heart to harm someone is an "Addictive & Compulsive" behaviour. That's what we'll be judged on; "not the physical act, but the intent to do wrong".
Psalm 81:12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.
The Bible says that the only way to stop this addictive & compulsive behaviour is to forgive and then you'll forget. Lets be addicted to forgiveness instead.
Simply put, the behaviour remains because you refuse to stop trying to get even with others.
