Your "five percent" statistic is incorrect, IMO, and I also think there are at least as many people with personality disorders who AREN'T alcoholics/addicts as those who are. IOW, I don't think personality disorders and addiction go hand-in-hand. They certainly CAN occur in the same people, but one really doesn't have much to do with the other, except when they do occur together, one condition exacerbates the other.
Hit up some BPD and NPD sites and you will see most threads talk about addiction!
Not saying all, I said most and again, this is not even something anyone would know unless knowing the person on an intimate level.
Most don't even realize they are disordered!
