Turning is only addictive if you start.
I've seen much evidence over the years about the addiction. Turning for fun certainly fits in the lifestyle of many busy people. I can always go to the shop and start and finish something simple in an hour or two or make good progress on something that may take a day or so. Compare that with making a cabinet, table, or chair!
I'd be hard pressed to give up my table saw even though I use it rarely. (PM66 with Robland sliding table)
But most of the time it supports my other addiction, that of taking photos of turnings!

Now turning for a job or for the purpose of making money may be another issue. I've know a several people who seem to spend all their time turning things just for sale, craft fairs, consignments, web sales. One guy in particular appears to be moderately successful but does not always come across as excessively cheerful. I personally am not the least interested a job! :)
