Sometimes persisted substance addiction is not choice. When an individual attempts to quit, they normally lapse into what is known as a withdrawl phase.
During this phase of abstinence, they experience a variety of symptoms both somatic and psychological and as a result, they regain substance use to take away these symptoms.
This is why addictions are hard to dissolve; you always have to consider the negative feedback that occurs. So for those that only talk about addiction superficially, albeit shallowly accurate, you guys need to learn more about it before presuming what addiction really is.
An example of a family member is not proof, it's an illustration.
