Anything can be addictive if abused, porn is no exception. My understanding is that it's defined as an addiction when it starts to interfere with other aspects of your life. For example, if you ignore work or hanging out with friends in order to masturbate. If you've repeatedly tried to stop using porn and end up using it again, you may be addicted as well.
You may just have a very large sex drive. I know I do, and since I'm single pornography is used to fulfill that need for release. I think one estimation was that if you can go a month without porn (not a month without masturbation, just a month without porn) then you should be fine. I tried it and kinda cheated near the end by reading literotica.com, but it's dependent.
I worry about being addicted every now and then, but I usually look at it as a safe way of promoting sexual release. It's not a substitute for the real thing, but as long as it doesn't interfere with other aspects of your life I wouldn't worry.
