YES-
An addictive personality refers to a particular set of personality traits that make an individual predisposed to addictions. People who are substance dependent are characterized by a physical or psychological dependency that negatively impacts the quality of life of the person. They are frequently connected with substance abuse, but people with addictive personalities are also highly at risk of becoming addicted to gambling, food, exercise, work, and even relationships (codependency) (“Addiction/Addictive Personality”). People engaged in addictive behavior tend to plan their lives around it (“Addiction/Addictive Personality”). Scientists have been able to better understand addictive personalities as researchers delve further into understanding the chemistry of addiction. Alan R.
