I think anyone who has suffered from an addiction has a somewhat obsessiveness about them. Kinda have felt your same feeling with Xanax years ago. Took it to relive anxiety before I went to bed and OH HOW I LOOKED FORWARD TO IT. Never got per say addicted - most times I forgot to take it. But I ran for it when things got bad.

I think sometimes that part of the reason AA works for some alcoholics is because it replaces our obsession of drinking with an obsession of going to "meetings". I think "habit" and "addiction" can go hand in hand for sure. A "habit" that gets off balance can EASILY become addiction - I know - It's how I became an alcoholic! LOL

Hard to say. I think it is good that you are obviously aware that it may be a problem - a good thing. Maybe replace looking forward to that with looking forward to reading something you really like before bed, taking a hot shower before bed, a bath, whatever floats your boat

Just a thought and humble offering of suggestion.

Hope everything works out for you!
