She, daughter in law, said addictions happen because of pain. Any kind of pain.
So true. I understand why. 

Emotional, physical, mental. Total body and soul feeling of pain. Pain is something we
avoid. 
Simple explanation for any kind of addict, addiction, aholic.
Reminds me of what my brother Darryl said "Everyone is addicted to something".
To this day I see this truth in anyone I know and anyone I don't know personally.

Darryl died on May 13, 1998. Born on May 16, 1964. He was 33 years old.
