Causes of Addiction: What Is Drug Addiction and Alcohol Addiction, and What Role Does Your Higher Power Play
Drug addiction is a chronic and intense compulsion to gratify cravings inside brain by the recurring use of a substance despite the cost or consequences. It is a condition that involves compulsive drug use, craving and seeking, withdrawal, along with dysfunctional behavior. It has the ability to steal someone’s joyfulness, obliterate their purpose and testimony, as well as kill them given a long enough time table. And in contrast to many other diseases, it will never be entirely cured… but it can be arrested.

Addiction is quite involved. Many cannot understand how and why other people end up addicted, and could have certain misconceptions about this disease. When an individual initially decides to take drugs, it is at that time undeniably a choice. Some test it out of curiosity while others are pushed into it as a result of social and economic conditions, but modern brain scanning technology (PET and SPECT scans) has revealed how the choice to take drugs soon dissipates and becomes a physical and psychological dependence wherein an individual incrementally loses his ability to “choose” to stop using due to a kind of brain damage that affects choice making.
