An addiction???? YES. Especially when you first start.
Step back, take a deep breath, don't Abscess...or is that obsess, about all this. It's going to be alright. You just have to get a grip on yourself . Before making a purchase ask yourself three Questions:
1) Do I really need more ( whatever you are thinking of buying) ?
2) Can I afford it now or should I pay the rent ?
3) Can I conceal this new purchase from the wife ?
Remember when mamma ain't happy ...nobody is happy , and that means you. Even though reloading is fun...sleeping with a contented wife is more fun. ( the sofa gets old fast )
