Turning this into gaming scenarios... knowing the reasons for a character's addiction could help or hinder their resistance rolls.

I know someone that's courted alcoholism due to her severe anxiety.
Finding an effective medication would pretty much remove the temptation for addiction.
But evilly, one could cause coincidental looking social encounters that would push her toward drinking more.
