I would say you're addicted because it's so difficult for you to stop. That doesn't mean you can't recover though. If you want to stop, you can. Seeking some kind of help would be a step in the right direction.
One thing that I found helped me decide to stop was thinking about the situation objectively. Imagine that somebody else is in your situation (maybe a friend), and think about what you would tell them. This is one of the things that really made me realize I had a problem and needed help.
Also, don't feel sorry for posting, or feel that you deserve this. This board is here to help you, and you have done absolutely nothing wrong. You have actually done something positive by talking about your feelings c: And nobody deserves to go through this. I know that's a bit of a cliche, but it's true.
