The thing is, a drug addict doesn't really WANT to switch off his addiction. He is in a state of conflict, because due to life problems, probation orders or the best intentions of family members, he is acting against his own will-- he is trying to use his will against itself, essentially. So while what you said sounds funny, there's a degree of truth to it.
