It sounds to me like you have more control issues rather than addictions. Wanting things to stay the same/routines, etc. I don't see them as addictions.

For me, being controlling is something that comes from "me" and my life rather than an addiction that comes from the outside. That's why I don't particularly feel computer solitaire, internet use, online sites, etc. are "addicting" as there's no "substance" there to addict one like there is with drugs, smoking, drinking, etc. Things that are "inside-out"-oriented aren't addictions to me but habits and defenses that I used therapy to work on.
