Thanks for the support, ebbomega. I was almost starting to think that maybe Crazy Dave was right and this was all some weird self-delusion. :)

I wouldn't consider that an addiction really.
if it's only every 6 months, I'd call it more of an occasional indulgence.

If you get drunk once a month does that make you an alcoholic?

If addiction means semi-annual use, then I'm addicted to a lot of things. Most of which are not detrimental to my life. So does it really matter at that point?

I thought weird self-delusion was the whole point of this drug stuff.
