I think on if the clear signs in your statement is the withdrawals. Your body and brain have become accustomed to having the chemical in your body and when they are gone you go through withdrawals because you are dependent on them. I am not a doctor but I would have to say that many of us have been in your situation before and would consider it an addiction.
