Are all addictions considered a sin, even something trivial?

jess♥

I happen to have a caffeine addiction. Mountain Dew and coffee are my big weaknesses. I get headaches and jittery when I don’t get enough caffeine in a day.
It doesn’t really bother me too much. I enjoy my caffeine and i have no desire to end this addiction.
I am a christian and I recently learned that addictions are sins. So I was wondering if anyone knows if that applies to all addictions, just things like drugs alcohol sex, etc,?

Thanks for your opinions.

Sin is defined as something a deity deems improper.

So not all addictions are sins. They only qualify if your god thinks them bad behavior. I doubt caffeine ‘addiction’ qualifies.

Addictions are not sin.

Sin is the transgression of the law of God (1 John 3:4).
