I code during the day only to avoid the social stigma of drinking coffee without working  also it gives me the means to pay for my coffee and a ready availability of it.
Most of the time I don't even know what I'm doing, but the higher ups are happy and who am I to contradict them?

I think as many of us here, I can spend whole days in front of a computer but this doesn't mean that I'm coding for the whole time.
In fact, that's the problem with computers. From the outside we're just sited there in front of a computer doing, apparently, the same thing but in reality we're not.
My daily computer related activities include:
- coding
- analysis
- solutions shaping
- prepare meetings/presentations
- attending those meetings and presentations 
- reading stuff to apply on the previous points
- online trainings
- give my contribute to communities (especially Experts-Exchange)
- ...
This is what makes me addicted to computers, it's this constant learning and swapping from this to that.
If it was purely coding it wouldn't be as fun, at least not for me.

After whole day of coding till late night I went to the toilet. I was looking at the stream and some questions appeared in my head:
- What if breakpoint would be hit now?
- Would the stream stay "frozen" in the air?
- Would I notice the break?
- How the stepping would affect the stream flow?
Hell yes, codding is addictive and state of my mind then is a good example of "adverse consequences".

Coding should be a passion instead of addiction, I think.

I agreed, but perhaps its just me. Coding is fun at times--or rather the fruit of labors, but the need to code every day to satisfy a thirst, no.

I can quit anytime that I want.
I just haven't found a time that I want to quit.

They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no...
I don't think people can actually develop a physical dependency on coding (because we're really doing Dependency Injection and we've abstracted coding to an IAddictive)

Exactly what I was going to post. I will never be convinced that coding is more fun than flirting with women.

Funnier it is... but it is quite dangerous as well if Mrs. Wife finds it out

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Well, lot of coders don't have girlfriends and often have restraining orders too, so...

Yes, like learning new programming languages and technologies, testing and bug fixing, etc...

Are you asking me if I believe that a person could actually become addicted to coding, or are you basically just asking asking me if I really really like coding?
You know, like when people say "I love cheese on toast, I think I'm actually addicted to it"

It's like working in a real darkroom used to be.

.. that it is addictive. Sometimes it is the only thing I do, most of the times, all the times.
