Hi ~ I can't say if you're an addict or not -- only YOU can decide that. But you DO seem to have an addictive personality. That CAN run in families. Both my parents were alcoholics, and I ended up as one too. After years of heavy drinking, I went to AA and got sober -- and now have 18 years clean/sober.
I'd be very careful with what you're doing. Some OTC drugs don't mix well with prescription drugs.
If you're having "inner pain" it sounds more like you're depressed. A good antidepressant will help you with this. Talk to your doctor about your feelings -- he CAN help!!! But trying to search for that "high" or trying to numb the pain isn't the way to go. At least with an antidepressant, you still feel your emotions -- it's just that they aren't stuck on depressed all the time. 
Best of luck & God bless! Hugs, Lee
