I have the same fear regarding xanax as you do. I've only been prescribed Ativan once, during a particularly anxious period. My understanding is that it has the same potential for addiction as Xanax does.
fyi - I started to take Trazodone as a sleep aid (less than 25mg/night) and it has a beneficial effect in lowering my anxiety too, at least through the following morning. It is a non-addictive medication.
