Do you feel that you have an addictive personality?

I would like to know if you have a tendency to develop a compulsion and/or addiction to things such as the internet, gambling, pills, alcohol, etc.

I do have an addictive personality. I am addicted to cigarettes, chocolate, and coffee and probably a few more things. It's also why I won't touch alcohol and never done drugs.

I don't know because I never do the things that might get me addicted.

I don't know. I tend to get really involved with something for a while, but it usually wears off, and I get bored with it.

I think addictive might be too strong a word, but there are certain things I like to do A LOT (shopping and survey central are two examples)

I have a food addiction that causes me constant shame and heartache not to mention health problems.

and I would probably easily become addicted to alcohol if I wasn't constantly monitoring and keeping myself in check.

I'm pretty sure it runs in the family. My dad was a heavy smoker, an alcoholic and compulsive gambler. My sister used to use pot & coke fairly heavily, but not any more-but she still smokes (regular cigarettes). I'm addicted to the Internet & SC.

nicotine and caffeine are addictive substances. You don't have to have an addictive personality in order to become addicted to them. Food, sex, gambling are not physiologically addictive... if you tend to get caught up in them and not be able to stop, then you're exhibiting addictive behaviour.

(I like being able to add this part).
As a (student) member of the American Psychological Association,
I disagree with the basic notion of 'personality'.

No, absolutely not. I smoked cigarettes a few times in high school and never got hooked, I never got too much into drinking or caffeine. Many people in my family are addicted to gambling and I have never had any problems at all.
I consider myself VERY lucky to never have any of those problems.

I'm a nerd addicted to technology. It started harmlessly as most addictions do, but soon I just couldn't stop buying computers and checking my e-mail. It's dastardly. ;)

I am addicted to food, and sometimes I drink too much alcohol. This is why I would never try cocaine even though I'm very curious about it. From what I've heard, I don't think I'd be able to do it just once.

I am addicted to caffeine (a.m. only), aspartame, obsessing about personal issues and wasting time.

No, but I could. My family, left and right, are full of addictions. Either I was lucky and missed the gene or I was able to steer clear.
