I watched a huge chunk of this huge chunk, until I couldn't stand his self-fascination any longer. Sorry if that sounds unkind, but he turned every mild question and situation into a mind-bending auto-drama. He feeds off so much energy from everyone he knows, but doesn't seem to put any back into anyone or anything. I've a feeling that that is par for the course with addicts of any persuasion - they constantly set up let-downs for both themselves and those who still care about them, which in turn set up the next act in a never-ending drama about themselves.
Apart from that, it's looking more and more likely that obsessive-compulsive disorders/addictions are neurologically linked, so it isn't a question of just snapping out of their behaviour patterns. The brain's wiring seems to have gone a bit wonky - although perhaps compulsion is more the norm than the abnormal, given the millions of people addicted to nicotine, alcohol, and other forms of self-ruin.
