They are often addicted to what they think is love. When someone is in the middle of a relationship with an Addict they can become addicted to knowing what the A is up to they look for them, go thru their stuff, call around trying to find them just like an addict would do if they need their dope.
I suppose some become addicted to drinking and drugging too. A real codie's drug of choice is an addict.
