I have chronic constipation for a long time. Beside that I have hard stools, that led to emerging of hemorrhoids and anal fissures. This was all a big problem for me (constantly visiting a doctor, skipping work etc). I have started taking Metamucil, I drink it for a long period now and it does help. Does taking Metamucil for a long time causes body addiction?

Metamucil is a laxative that posses plant fibers that come from Psylium. Even though it is a laxative, it can be used for a long time and there is no possibility of getting addicted. If there is fear of addiction, I would advise you to add to your meals fibers from fruit, vegetables, and in this way slowly start eliminating Metamucil from your organism.
