What Are the Causes of Addictive Personality?
People with an addictive personality are emotionally insecure, says Craig Nakken, a certified drug counselor and the author of “The Addictive Personality.” They don’t trust themselves or other people as a source of security, support and positive feedback. Instead they turn to drugs, alcohol, gambling, eating or sex, because these objects or activities are predictable and therefore trustworthy. Causes of addictive personality can have physical, psychological or genetic components.
