Oh, I know precisely in which "stage" you are currently, Eönwë
I have gone through it too...
Now, there's one thing which I consider a rather scary sign of addiction, which I should as well post to the BD Dreams thread, but... I had a dream today which I don't remember, almost at all, but what I remember is that I posted on this thread about some sign of addiction... I don't actually recall what it was, but I remember it was quite serious. The most serious thing however was, that the dream was so vivid that I was not sure whether I really haven't posted that sign here...
