Addiction is a relatively new E2 statistic invented by kthejoker which is calculated by dividing a user's devotion by the number of days since they they joined Everything2. Because devotion is merit multiplied by the number of writeups a user has written, addiction measures both the quality of a users writeups, and how fast they node. It's a pretty fun metric because it is constantly dropping, and you have to node like a maniac to make it go up!
