Don, I don't know what to tell you. If it seems to be hurting him, then try and help him get away from needing it. If not, I guess either accept it as part of him or move on. But I can't tell you what to do, and I barely know him, so I don't know what counts as addictive behavior for him. I just know 'follow what seems right'. So that's really all I can tell you.
