give up/give in

[katerina.pata]

Dear teachers or native speakers

I am having difficulties with the following phrasal verbs...I can´t decide which one is correct..Please can you help????

1)My brother realised he wasn´t going to win the chess game, so he stopped trying.....GAVE UP
2)I am hooked- I can´t stop doing it.......GIVE UP
About nb. 2 I am quite sure- it is give UP, but shouldn´the first sentence be give IN???? If not, please, can you give me a typical example of a sentence with the phrasal verb give IN??
Thank you very much. KP

GIVE IN
To cease opposition; yield (the crossbar support gave in and the whole thing collapsed)

GIVE UP is usually used in relation to addiction, game. (Give up smoking, drinking)

To give up is ok for the first (to give in might be ok,too). I may have some suggestions for the second sentence;
I should give up right away.
I can't get myself out of it.
I see no way out of it.
I don't know how to be off the hook.
