Perhaps you could try directing the addictive/obsessive tendancies into something productive, I know someone who is "addicted" or "obsessive" about buying and renovating houses and getting respect through their work, starting from nothing, they're now rich. Achieving a lot helping others may be more your style.
It seems like there's a remote chance you have a hint of Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder rather than addiction, this involves proccupation with orderliness, perfectionism and control (everyone has at least a hint of some personality disorder, it's not strange).
A little of this is a good thing, especially in this world where there is so much mess.
