Answer by Mary Boo
I see this question posed so frequently: What’s the cause of drug addiction? I’ve asked the question myself many times. Whether you’re on the outside looking into an addicts life or you are an addict yourself and are questioning “How did I get here”? The cause of drug addiction is complex and varies from one person to the next. Many people (myself included), will tell you that meth addiction is one of the worst and hardest habits to kick. The grip meth has on an addict is physical as well as mental.

Please keep in mind that I am not a doctor. The information in this blog is from my own experience and from many internet references that I have referred to. Here are a few of the most common causes of drug use that can lead to addiction:

Those who are victims of something negative or have had a really rough time in life tend to want to “get away” by taking some type of substance. Sometimes these people can not deal with simple stress and this is a way to relax. Sometimes there are underlying mental problems and the person’s perception of how wrong things are in their life is off, so they start taking some pills here and there. This is really a complex issue and you cannot understand it in 2 minutes. Is there a more particular question or answer you are looking for?
