Most addictions begin with the feel good factor, with things that make us feel better, and draw us up and out of our normal painful existence. We may begin doing something for pleasure or need. Soon we discover accidentally that the behavior has a pay off, it keeps our real pain away from our consciousness. Then we begin to do the behavior less for the desire and more for its ability to keep the pain away, it becomes an addiction.
