Addictive personality

Addictive personality is a way of describing somebody who is more likely to become addicted to things, like drugs or alcohol, because of their personal characteristics or the choices they make. People with addictive personalities often choose to take risks, use substances to feel better or to cope with problems, and may find it harder to stop once they start. They also tend to make decisions without thinking about the consequences.
