I don't think its so much an addiction as the norm in today's society. If you don't know any better, carbs are what you will reach for every time -- whether its from emotions, physiological urge, boredom, or convenience -- carbs are just easier.
Thank goodness we know better.

Totally. And the more you use them the more you want them.
I tend to graze on food when I'm lonely or tired. Now that I'm off refined carbs/starches I'm grazing on veggies and nuts, which isn't nearly as bad as the refined garbage I used to eat. And I'm more easily satisfied too, and I feel happy knowing that what I'm putting in at least is full of nutrients.
