Don’t beat yourself up too bad about addiction though. Granted, the choice to use for the first time was purely your choice. However, there is a genetic disposition that may be leading you to use. Addiction is passed down from person to their children. This doesn’t mean all kids will be addicted, but some have more of a propensity for addictive behavior.

Also, the brain chemistry and structure chances, to get you to abuse more drugs and alcohol. So, once you make the initial choice, your body takes over and can choose for you. The disease depletes the memory function of the brain, and the brain itself causes people to prioritize drug use over eating and sleeping.

Detoxing and stopping use at home is very difficult and rarely effective. You’re not under medical supervision to help you cope with the withdrawals, and you won’t learn how to train your behavioral patterns in a way that helps you avoid relapse in he future.
