I call those people gifted and passionate. When they succeed in a particular field, "addiction" will no longer suit them. For example, we often gamble, and people say we are addicted. But still gambling regularly and adding winning titles and prizes in gambling competitions, the words to describe us would be completely different.
Another more realistic example. If you gamble, the win will be yours. Then your wife will say you're great. Conversely, if you always lose, your wife will call you an addict.
There are not many talented people, so only those who are lucky can win, while other people only experience loss, and what's worse, many of them end up addicted to gambling. While talented people can win, they will not experience gambling addiction because they can control themselves so as not to be easily tempted by what they see. They better quit immediately after getting that win and not come back for the next few days.

Meanwhile, people who often gamble do not mean they are already addicted, but maybe they are starting to like gambling more so that if they don't realize it, it will gradually become an addiction. But if they can prevent it, they will not get addicted to gambling even though they like gambling.
