How does sensation seeking and novelty have to do with addiction? Isnt addiction the opposite? Addiction is the seeking of the same experience over and over again.

Yeah, but you have to decide that you're going to pop that first pill, snort that first line, inject that first syringe, etc.

When it comes to addiction itself. There are people who can take heroin once and not be addicted while others who are addicted on the first try. The article is unclear about whether "addiction" correlates with novelty or whether novelty is actually correlating with trying out new drugs.
