Look at your leak rate graph and see if there are long periods of time where the leak rate is high and stays high. If so, air could be leaking out of your mouth. If so, try a chin strap or a full face mask. Contact your doctor and equipment provider and keep them informed as to what's going on.
Do not fear being addicted to the CPAP machine. The fact that you're concerned indicates you haven't yet made up your mind that you will need it in your life for the foreseeable future. Without it you not only get a lower quality of sleep you also raise the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
