I think a lot of the people who don't think they're addicts, would qualify as one according to official criteria, and those who do, in typical addict fashion, are in denial and don't want to do anything about it, and just make excuses as to why it's 'ok for them'. I commend the OP on his initiative, but it's like telling people to stop smoking. No one is going to do it until they're ready, regardless of how much they're hurting themselves and those around them by their behavior.
