» Feature Writer Laurie Pawlik-Kienlen - addictive personality?

In response to A Helpful Book posted by coachjerry:


How is an addictive personality formed? Are you born with a predisposition to addiction, or do you develop it over time? Or is it a combination of both - nature and nurture?

I know someone who says he has an addictive personality, and has flirted with alcoholism, smoking, and drugs. Yet he's never become full-fledged alchoholic or addict. Maybe that means he doesn't truly have an addictive personality?
