addict's

Belonging to hooked

Addict's is the possessive form of addict—someone dependent on a substance or compulsively devoted to an activity.

The possessive marks what belongs to or characterizes the addict: an addict's craving, an addict's denial, an addict's brain chemistry.

It can also form the contraction "addict is": Once an addict's hooked, quitting becomes nearly impossible.
