Why dont you drink tea without sugar? There are lots of answers to this question. It can be "it tastes better". Thats what your mind is telling you. It probably would be more healthier to drink tea without sugar but you still add sugar to it. Thats addiction. And there are tons of other examples and its hard to determine it for every case. Addictions are deeply implemented in our brains. Eating, the urge to be close to people, getting complemented for things you do, all this is kind of an addictional behaivour. Drugs can basically fill this already existing but empty receptors more efficient. Then your brain tells you to do it again. It will find reasons. That was harder to explain than i thought. I hope it makes sense.
