I've seen this movie before with several friends. People start abusing drugs (street drugs and prescription drugs) and become addicted for the same reasons that people drink and become alcoholics. Problem drinkers that allow themselves to mess with drugs either fall off the booze wagon or develop drug problems (and vice versa).
