Searching ... Welcome! A lot of great advice and links to info from those before me. You've got to be "the decider" on this one. Funny, how when someone else says one might have an addiction to alcohol it has a sting. If your BF said you were addicted to, say, peanuts or chocolate would it inspire this type of soul searching? Seems like you have some good tools for honesty and self-awareness. I'd suggest you keep looking into it, asking yourself questions and listening to your honest answers. Browse this site and see what happens. Wish you the best!
