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.

I guess that brings up the question of whether someone with an addictive personality can never become an addict. I think it is true. If someone with an addictive personality is raised in the right environment never tries drugs and alcohol and so on they could repress that part of them. I am sure it happens a lot. However if that person starts using or abusing something chances are they are quickly going to become addicted to it. An addict.
