It was clear that the word "compulsive" would work perfectly.and that we have inflated "addictive" enough that is used in contexts that make me double take at the irony of the contrast between the usage and the actual meaning.
Addictive means "creates compulsion which increases with use", right? So it's addictive at first and then compulsive but not addictive and then neither.
