Some people are not likely to get addicted and some need to watch for warning signs. Learn to recognize them.

If you are addicted to anything, then you already know that you have an addictive personality unless you became addicted through no fault of your own.

Addictive Behavior Traits

Perhaps you recognize yourself in one of the two personalities. If you have addictive tendencies, don't touch, or even think about, anything to which you do not want to become addicted.

Psychologists have written a lot on the addictive personality type, and most of them seem to see compulsive behavior as the main problem. I have never read anything about the non-addictive type, thou ...
