Is addiction a part of our mind, heart or soul?  What addiction means to one may not mean the same to another.  I don't have a drinking problem, I don't have a drug problem but I do have an addiction to cigarettes and hurting myself physically to let out the internal pain....do I belong here?

In Narcotics Anonymous the liturature says it is a disease of the mind, body and spirit. The mind part is the obsession, that thought that repeats over, & over & over... the body is the compulsion, that once I start I can't stop, and the spiritual is my total self centeredness, the belief I am in controll and a separation between me and my higher power. Only you can decide if you belong here. Just a hint.. normal people don't think they might belong here... they don't wonder if they are addicts.   The liturature also tells me that I sometimes need to look outside the rooms for help. If I need a doc, I go see one, a lawyer I go see one. I hope you will seek some professional help if you are hurting yourself. I was taught most of us are not doctors and we try not to give medical advise. Hoping you find peace and the self acceptance the program offers.

I think that even though this site is called "addiction" tribe, if you are seeking help in any way, this is a good place for you to be.  Whether you are abusing yourself with alcohol, drugs, or physically, it's almost all the same.  And to answer the first question, I believe addiction is part of the mind.  Personally, my mind likes to mess with me when it comes to alcohol.  One day I'm incredibly gung-ho on quitting alcohol, and the next day my mind is convincing myself that I really want a beer and all I have to do is go to the closest gas station.  But, like you said, it may mean something different to the next person.  Welcome to addictiontribe, I am also new.
