****Guess what - if you think you're getting addicted chances are BIGGGGGGGGG that you DO have a problem.
Guess what #2 - why not test it out? Decide DEFINITELY not to do coke for a month. How does that feel? Can you commit to not doing coke for a month? I'd say you can get an idea of your problem by your answer to that question.
I don't know anything personally about it, but I know that I can't commit to not drinking tea for a week!!! Does that mean I'm addicted to it? I think it does. I might not have withdrawal symptoms, etc. but I know that I can't commit to not drinking it!!
Coke is nothing to mess around with. If you have doubts, test yourself. Fellow users might well have a vested interest in you NOT thinking you have a problem. They might not want to look at the possibility of addiction in themselves, so might encourage you to NOT think you have an addiction problem.
Best of luck. If you're at the point where you're wondering, you're way ahead of lots of folks who KNOW.....and whether they admit it is another matter.
Good luck in taking good care of your health.

I'd say if you can stop for 5 years you will be ok.
