Binge or Addiction?

Addiction as defined by the OED is "the state or condition of being dedicated or devoted to a thing, especially an activity or occupation,"and I think that I am addicted to bingeing. After 3 days of bingeing for 8 hours per day on television, I felt ready to expand on my activity choices, but I also felt and continue to feel the constant need to do everything to an intense degree. I began my "free" day by watching more Battlestar Galactica; I just had to know what was going to happen next. Upon feeling guilt wash over me for choosing to spend my personal time watching more TV, I decided that I needed to do something, or anything, else. I took the dog for a long walk outside, I took the time to make multiple meals that I didn't have the chance or patience to make during the week, and I then proceeded to obsessively clean my entire house. My normal cleaning habits involve tidying up intermittently with other activities (i.e. homework, watching tv, seeing friends, spending time outside, music) however, on this occasion I could not stop until the entire kitchen and living room were spotless. By getting used to bingeing, my brain has seemingly been conditioned to want to do everything "to the max," but even then I was lacking a sense of fulfillment. Even though the kitchen (which I spent most of my focus on) ended up looking better than it has in months, it still didn't feel like enough. I came home later after eating dinner with some friends, and there appeared to have been some sort of food related explosion. It was as if my obsessive scrubbing of floors and disinfecting counters was for nothing, and I was reminded of why I do not usually spend hours on binge cleaning. But still, the need to binge stuck and I came to the conclusion that even if there was no longer proof of my thorough cleaning, spending that time was able to at least somewhat satisfy my personal need to binge.
