Yeah, Cass, I'd say addictions is a bad thing, but then I'm looking at it with a jaundiced eye. The reason being that they can switch from one addiction to another. It tends to consume them - you won't be part of his addiction, no matter how much he may mean you to be at first. After a while, you'll feel that you're just not that important to him & you won't be. He won't mean that to happen but it does.
A suggestion - go to some of the Al-Anon meetings & talk with others who are married to or are good friends of alcoholics to see it from their perspective. Nobody forces you to decide what you need/want to do, but it's good to get some imput from others who've been there.
Here's their on-line site: http://www.al-anon.org/index.html and here's a directory of where you can find meetings in Canada & the States: http://www.al-anon.org/alalist_usa.html
I'm not trying to scare you but to warn you instead. You can always choose him after you've talked with others anyway.
