I don't give two cents for an addiction with no physical abstinences after you stop. It doesn't have much to do with self-control either because self-control is born out of the lust you have for something.
It's when you don't really want good grades you stop doing your homework, and it's when you don't really like your social situation you start prefering your online one. People who do either should really take their lives up to review because they're heading in a direction they don't want to take.
I knew a guy who dropped out of several majors and blamed it on world of warcraft, he talked about addiction and he honestly did nothing but play day and night for an entire year. Then he started a new major, Biology, and started playing less and less until he eventually stopped. Not because he wanted to stop playing but because his new major, and the likeminded people, were just more exciting.
