I don't know. Addiction and SI are different for everyone. I think of it as a small addiction for me because I think about it even if i dont have the urge... When I pass by things in stores i could use i think about it. I sit at home and think of things I could use just in case I get the urge, what store is close by, whether i should buy something to keep around just in case. My urges are definitely lessened since i gave my last favorite tool to my dbt group leader, but i still think about it a lot and how it made me feel. I do the same thing with alcohol and cigarettes... Even though i dont consider myself addicted to them, they are a problem behavior.
