From my understanding all addiction is the same, even if the drug, food, type of sex, etc... is different.

This part is not exactly true. For example a heroin addiction is going to have different features than a sex addiction.

Aren't the underlying traits of an addictive personality pretty much the same though?
Obviously something that causes a physical addiction (drug) will present differently than a psychological addiction. (sex, gambling etc.)
I'd argue that certain individuals are wired to be addicts. Physical or psychological. Multiple addictions are not uncommon.
