I see what you're saying, but I do think it becomes something of a lifestyle. I mean, you literally style your life around the addiction.
No "style" involved, your brain screams for it. Yes you do center your life trying to get the next high, yes, but I wouldn't call that a "style" merely an addiction that drives you to it.
