Addicted To Eating Chalk, Do Not Swallow It, Just Taste It. Could It Be An Indication Of Deficiency?

I am addicted to eating talk. I started the habit at a very young age. I am now 44 years old. I eat two pieces a day. I dont swallow the chalk. I just like the taste in my mouth then i spit it out. I know its strange but i cant seem to be able to stop. Please help. Friends say its an indication of a lack of something in my body.
