The addiction often begins as a way to avoid suffering, or as a misguided way of "fixing" a problem.

Obsession, however, as a personality factor, could look like addiction.

I don't have too much going on with Neptune, however, I have Pluto on the AC with Mars also.
I do become obsessed with things, and have a lot of energy reserves to fuel the obsession.
I'm sure I have appeared "addicted" to many things. However, there is no "helplessness" in my sense of obsession.
I doggedly pursue things I believe have value or usefulness in some way.

You should also check out the arabic part of addiction.

I think moon plays a big part too. Moon can show alcohol addiction.

i did about 25 famous bodybuilder birth charts and we all know to get your body to the level of a bodybuilder requires addiction/obsessiveness to achieve such size and one very interesting aspect i noticed that popped up on about 22 of the searches i did was that they ALL had mars/uranus aspects it was crazy i think mars/uranus can make a person addictive prone

I second this. My ex who became obsessed with body building to the point of taking steroids has Mars square Uranus. He also has Mars in the 12th house.

He was/is also I would say "addicted" to video games. He has Neptune contacts - Moon conjunct Neptune, Mercury square Neptune, Venus trine Neptune, Saturn conjunct Neptune and Uranus conjunct Neptune (Neptune in the 10th).

That's a lot of Neptune!!!! Getting lost in a fantasy land?

I was addicted (psychologically) to Marijuana for a long time and have an addictive personality because I have Neptune in 1st conjunct Ascendant.

You have a good point. Addictions are very much psychological. Yes there are physical addictions but to get to that point, it's all in the head. I've noticed neptunian people have obsessive personalities and a touch or more of OCD. A lot of substance abuse starts with the person believing the substance has a certain effect on them or will have the effect. I never really cared for weed because I never believed it to have that great an effect, so I never got too deep into it. But I've known a lot of people that say its so amazing and it just takes you away and personally I never felt that, I think because I just didn't believe in it enough.
