Alcohol, drugs, smoking and gambling are most well known ones. Think about how you fell when something good happened for you, maybe your team wins a game, you are praised for somethingyou have done well, or you drink a cold coke ona hot day. In these conditions your barin feels natural pleasure so addictions can start when people want pleasure or want to forget bad events and addiction is something that people cannot stop doing and they feel they have biological obligation for their addictions.

There are many more reasons why people become addicted. They can be family, economic, social, psycological, relationship problems and when they want to test a new thing. After the first use the more you drink , the more alcohol you need to get drunk; the more cocaine you take, the more drugs you need to get hig. Some drugs damage brain cells and they have many physical effects. On the other hand they can cause social problems for example a marriage may be ended by drugs. However addictions are treatable. Individulas can use a therapy programme or rehabilitation methods.
The first step to using drugs is smoking. Most of the drug users are regular smokers (Marsden, J. 1997). Ecstasy and marijuana come after smoking as asecond step.
