As someone who is addicted to caffeine, hell yes it is an addiction.
A long time ago, I cut out the addictions that were causing negative effects for me (mainly weed and tobacco). I kept caffeine around since I can get wired and still do my job, and it's not overtly unhealthy.
An addiction isn't something inherently bad. Everyone's addicted to something or another. But how many addictions synergize with one's performance at work?
I had to ditch coffee because of anxiety. So glad I did. But if you're sleeping well and don't feel like you have an issue with anxiety, then lucky you.
