I have seen some forms of addiction up close, but I think the term is more general and we shouldnt taboo every with which some people have extremely bad emotional association with.
IMO I should be able to say I was forced to do some work even if I wasnt in a concentration camp myslef. Or that it bugs me that something is messy even if I dont have extreme OCD.
Internet addiction is a normalized term and I think withdrawal fron losing somebody you love or even a place can be more accute.
Also I'm sorry about whatever you had to experience related to addiction.
It sounds like you're mixing up the casual, colloquial use of addiction ("I'm addicted to key lime pie") with the medical term ("i suffer from addiction"). The latter is not just a failure of willpower and is qualitatively different from the former.
You can use either, but if people think you mean the latter and you start arguing points that only apply to the former, expect pushback.
