Addiction is typically rooted in trauma, and people tend to get addicted to whatever they find shields them from re-experiencing that trauma in their minds. A big part of kicking addictions requires the user to come to peace with the trauma that drove them to addiction in the first place. Which is why people can have trouble kicking things that aren't physically addictive, and why a mentally healthy person could do a bunch of meth and not really feel the need to do it again.
