That's a very controversial topic in the field. Research has not shown to be that there is a specific addictive personality but the reality is there are some people that are looking for good feelings all the time. They kind of organize their life around good feelings. So, there's part of that addictive personality, part of the addictive personality is very impulsively do things without a lot of forethought, there's not thinking about consequences.

  • An "addictive personality" is one that is controlled by a protectrive "Addict subself" who attempts to reduce Inner Kids' pain (shame + guilt + anxity + frustration + confusion + overwhem) by using a mind-altering substance (including food), an activity (like gambling), a mood (like rage), and/or a relationship (codependence)." For more info, see sfhelp.org/fam/addiction.htm
