People start using for a bunch of different reasons. I don't believe that any narcotic users, or alcoholics, choose addiction. Addiction is what happens after one has made a previous choice or series of choices.
That may sound like hair-splitting [[and I have no way of knowing exactly how you meant it,) but I think it is an important distinction.
I don't think there are any addicts walking around thinking, "Dang, I thought being an addict would be OK, but this sucks."
