[LOTR] Is extreme addiction to the One Ring an intentional feature?

Doesn't lust for the ring result in stashing it away for long periods of time (Gollum and Bilbo style), preventing it from coming back to Sauron? How does other people's lust for the Ring benefit Sauron?

It wasn't intentional, because Sauron never intended for anyone to wear the ring except for him.  It's an accidental side effect of having that much of Sauron's power and personality contained within the ring.  The longer you have it, the more Sauron-y you become.
