Addictions commonly have varying psyiological components, commonly
thought to be the essence of addiction.

But what does "Addicted to love mean?"

It means that the psychological component of addiction is love--love
of this and love of that. One wants something because one loves it.
And we know how hard it is to turn our backs on love.
