Trading one addiction for another can be explained by the Buddhist concept: The Realm of Hungry Ghosts. The Realm of Hungry Ghosts can be used to explain the underlying cause of addiction. This realm is between heaven and earth with ghosts that have an insatiable hunger. Thus, the realm of hungry ghosts can be used for people who are addicted because they are seeking something. This can be becoming someone or being someone. Similarly, the realm of hungry ghosts can be used to explain an "addictive personality" to fill holes.

In this video, the realm of hungry ghosts from Buddhist philosophy is used by Dr. K to explain addictive behaviors.
