you probably already know this... but an addictive personality can have many different manifestations, workaholic (oh, he is just driven), sex - with other people or viewing porn, food, co-dependents that need to control everyone and everything around them and the list goes on (whatever sets off the endorphins in your brain will do).

All normal things except when taken to the extreme, if you can enjoy a glass of wine great, if you drink two bottles at a time not so good.

Like speeder said, a lot of people don't understand suicide, I would add a lot of people don't understand addiction. No kid grows up thinking "I want to be an addict" but we have millions of drug addicts around us... and they are not all street people...some drug addicts are doctors, police, and other high functioning members of society.
