Depends on the addiction.  In the case of overeating, "not eating" is a
behavior that you might call voluntary but is no longer an option when
hungry.

Note that "eating" is far more complex than simply "move hand bearing food
to mouth".  It also involves obtaining food, possibly cooking food, and so
on.  So, trying to think of it as a simplistic single action that is
performed without conscious intent, will confuse and mislead you because it
isn't that.
