So, you take a medication (a very safe one), it improves your life, you're not abusing it, and you're worried about addiction?
I'd say you're lucky. If you decide to stop taking it, then you'll have to do so gradually, but this is true for many other meds, including the most commonly prescribed antidepressants. Some people have taken Klonopin for decades with no negative effects.
Constant stress causes all sorts of mental and physical problems, so if this alleviates the anxiety, I'd stick with it. You'll probably be healthier as a result, and at least you'll be able to enjoy your life.
