Example unhappy childhood or unhappy adulthood etc. So they use drugs to fight with the pain they felt at some stage in life. That means they use substance abuse to withdraw themselves from such environment/circumstances. Due to the viscous cycle it causes alteration in brain leading to more stronger and stronger impulse for substance abuse and it becomes more and more difficult to handle this urge and it keeps on growing to deeper levels.
