Compulsion, Dependency, Obsession, and Soft Spot

Compulsion: You have an intense need to act a certain way or perform some task, even when doing so could prove inconvenient.
Dependency: You have a deeply ingrained need for something.
Obsession: You have an intense desire to have or achieve something.
Soft Spot: There is something in this world that you cannot help but enjoy far too much.
Honestly, I find these four Weaknesses to be slightly different ways of expressing basically the same ideas, and sometimes they seem redundant because I have trouble differentiating the four of them as most ideas I think of for one could just as easily be used for the others.
For example, what if you were making a character who was an alcoholic, couldn't Compulsion, Dependency, Obsession, and Soft Spot all equally apply to alcoholism? Could someone take all four of those Weaknesses to refer to the same thing (alcoholism)?
