Amber Hollingsworth (YouTube video) reframes the notion of an "addictive personality" as a potentially positive trait: intense focus, obsession, and going "all in" can drive high achievement if directed toward constructive goals. She acknowledges risks when the trait is applied negatively and advises channeling those tendencies toward beneficial pursuits.

Have you ever been told that you have an addictive personality? Well, if so, take it as a compliment, because it means that you're built to do great things in this world. Having an addictive personality means that you go over the top with things and you obsess about things and you go all in. And it's those exact traits that will make you a very successful person. Now, sure, those traits can get you into trouble if you put them in the wrong direction. Consider using your superpowers for the good.
