I accept that I'm obsessive compulsive, probably beyond just 'addict' levels. (Interestingly enough, addiction itself is classified as a kind of obsessive compulsive disorder...)
I try to find distractions, or 'saner' ways of managing. Playing a game that requires organizing shapes and colors (I'm a big fan of puzzle games) or doing laundry or dishes (I set timers to keep me from doing the same dish, or folding the same piece of clothing over and over). If those don't help I try to write about what I'm feeling, or go for a walk or a run. These are just some things that help me when I feel out of control.
