Choice is by definition not subject to compulsion. If you want to be a pedantic asshole at least have the intellectual integrity to be right first.

Compulsion is overridden choice!
I’m not suggesting addiction is done flippant thing, it’s a serious disease.
Quit throwing around insults then claiming I’m the one leaving integrity.

I’m certainly not concerned, just making clear your ad hominem devalues your position.
Consider this paper regarding the very overlapping and complicated relationship between addiction, choice, and compulsion.
