When you take your first drug, you are oblivious to everything around you. It could also make you feel good, it could change your emotions. The first drug is usually taken when you are around friends and are dragged into peer pressure. Most of the time when a person is introduced to their first drug and they are emotional or have personal problems, they think it will make them better and take it. The first few times it is usually taken for fun or just to feel better. Then eventually you start wanting it which is when you know you are getting addicted.

The above statements are true. However, there are other components to addiction. Doctors and scientists have found two very key factors in why some people become addicted, and others do not. In alcoholic addiction, there is the lack of an enzyme that non-alcoholic and social drinkers have. Work is being done to synthetically reproduce this enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down alcohol in a "normal" way. Also, there is very strong evidence that addiction is inherited. It is a disease. Research has also discovered an "addiction gene" that exists in addicts, which is one of the reasons it seems to cluster in families. For example, if two people have the addiction gene (the disease of addiction) and have three children, the odds that at least two of those children will eventually become addicted to a substance.

There is also the issue of 'self medicating' when another condition exists, for example ADHD, depression and/or anxiety.
