That’s a part of the depression DLC, if you progress far enough. Not to worry though, the addiction buff can be removed with the “seeking help” & “sobriety” quest lines!

I found that DLC to be too sad. Have you tried the Exercises, Meditate and Eat Healthy DLC? People were saying it has a bit of a difficulty curve in the beginning, but once you get past the intro it’s the best DLC available. Highly recommend.

I mean you can always anomalously upload it. Throw away, VPN, you would be doing a favor to the preservation world.
