I read in a thread ages ago that NTs were the ones who were more likely to become addicted to things, like drugs, cigarettes, sugar, caffiene and alcohol.

I have a sugar addiction and also get addicted to certain people. I have no interest in alcohol or drugs though so it's not a general addiction-prone personality type, just certain things.
What is bad is if the person you're addicted to treats you badly but you can't break away from them - this is very hard to deal with.
