In brief: See below
Scientific evidence does not support "a much more addictive personality" in women.
The usual data looks at how many people (men or women) are dependent on drugs. In alcohol dependence there has been a gender gap, ie more men. But dependence is a mixture of nature and nurture so this has yet to be resolved.
