Answer:
Prefacing this by saying I have no idea if this remotely answers your question and my apologies if it doesn't.
You could relate it to a toxic relationship, in the sense that it's similar as most people with an addiction will do anything to get what they're addicted to/don't know how to stop; and most people in toxic relationships don't know how to get out.
or you could draw a line from addiction to the way that wrestlers tend to develop eating disorders, both being unhealthy behaviors, because people with an addiction just keep going back and once you start a disordered eating habit it's really difficult to stop.
