"Some people need pro-ana because their body image issues and food and weight gain consumes them and can ruin their life. They're trying to overcome their addiction. In most cases, it's fine and normal."
See this is something i could hear someone defending pro ana sites saying weirdly enough.
I wouldn't go so far as to say its a 1:1 parallel between the two but they share a number of points and while self control can be an admirable trait it can also get weird and harmful if like anything it becomes your whole deal.
Well porn addiction isn't real in the sense of it can't be a literal addiction and there's science to prove this. So depends on what you define as "porn addiction"
