I've heard that substance addictions can run in families, but I've never been able to determine if that applied to non-substance addictions, since the mechanics of that are slightly different. Like, I know that substance abuse alters brain chemistry to cause addiction and whatnot, but most non-substance abuse doesn't involve things entering your body, so I'd have to wonder if that's a trait that could still be passed down.
I think having a addictive personality can be something that is heritable. I don’t know if that necessarily specifically pertains to non-substance vs substance addictions. I mean I think the underlying cause of the addiction is the rush/euphoria it gives you doesn’t matter what exactly is the addiction.
