To understand how addiction progresses take a look at these images provided by addictioneducationsociety.org.
The first step is a person simply likes the feeling they have when taking their drug of choice. Secondly, they begin to want the drug. They like the feeling therefore they want to feel it again. Then their is a need for a drug. A person then begins to need the drug in order to enjoy whatever event or party they are participating in. Lastly, the drug becomes a requirement. Without it, they are unable to function in any setting.
This escalation can happen quickly. Drugs and alcohol have euphoric effects that can be felt immediately. It is a sense of immediate satisfaction and release. The brain will continue to tell the body they require this drug and/or alcohol. Changes in the brain happen rapidly. To combat this effect, one needs to obtain help.
