Yes, it is a common deflection seen in any number of addictions. The difference, as I see it, is that the GGGP didn't want to quit permanently; he only intended to test himself, which he did. Addicts say "Never again" believing that they can achieve it and then go back again and again. That inability to stay away when the person really wants to do so is the very definition of addiction.
