What is the difference between being an addict and having an addictive personality?

I know I have obsessive tendencies and perhaps struggle with codependency. I stopped drinking nearly 22 months ago, and quit smoking also around the same time. But I still have addictions: coffee, sugar, books, music, relationships... even working too much has served its purpose ss an addiction.

So I am wondering what the difference is between having an addictive personality or being an addict. I don't think it is just drugs and alcohol that makes an addict. Seems like anyone who uses something to try and fill the emptiness or substitute love and relationships, numb out, ease pain and loneliness, etc would be considered an addict.

Therefore, I am an addict. NOT just a person with an addictive personality. An addictive personality might be where a person has a tendency or predisposition to addiction but does not use substances in the same way an addict does.

What do you all think? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
