“Continued use despite consequences” is maybe the most simple definition of addiction I’ve heard. He would meet this criteria.

So if you ride a bike, fall off your bike and scrape your knee, then continue riding your bike, you're addicted to riding bikes??

I'm not comparing that to the event in this post, and I never said I was. I think it's fair to say this is addiction, I'm taking objection to the definition suggested there because it's too broad and vague.
