There can be many reasons why someone becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol. We know most of them all too well. How and where you were brought up. Who were your role models when you were a child. Your peers as a child had an influence. Your education likely ended up playing some role. The place where you currently live and work are peices of the puzzle. The stress levels in your life from day to day are important.
Good fortune or bad events that are outside your control are obvious things as well. Abuse and tragedy may have clouded your past. The list of reasons is truly long and varied. The most important question is who is responsible for your health and transition to a non-addicted lifestyle? Who is responsible to find solutions to the problems of where to go for treatment, and how to pay for it? Is it Family? Is it the government? Is it friends? Is it the person themselves alone that should shoulder the responsibility? How you answer these questions will ultimately have a say in what type of treatment you receive as well as how long you stay in an addicted lifestyle.
