I never said I was addicted. The sheer ease with which I parted company with the drug is itself evidence to that.
There was just a much bigger element to chemical dependence on marijuana that affected my sleep cycle. I really didn't get much restorative sleep when I smoked habitually...I've only started dreaming again this last week and a half or so.
I'm not objecting to taking the occasional toke at a concert or something, it's just a habit of mine that needed breaking.
In contrast, I've had HUGE problems in the past when I drank heavily -- being cognizant of those harsh physical withdrawal symptoms now affords me an element of control when I'm around alcohol.
