Is there anything like "positive addiction" or non harmful addictions?

There are some positive things that people do and everyone is cool that they are doing those things. Some things like reading, praying are all good things.

If someone is addicted to one of those good things, say reading for instance. Can that be seen to be a positive addiction? Should we be worried when one gets addicted to things that are seemingly "positive"?
