Social anxiety. Certain life events. Wanting to not care.

I used to trip on shrooms regularly, however, i haven't been doing it for about 6 months because needed to pay more attention to other aspects of my life - family, university etc. I really didn't notice any discomfort about not tripping (apart from little "flashbacks" when I would be having the next trip that didn't happen).
Actually, I have an addiction to caffeine. It vanished completely after my first trip (I stopped drinking mate for several months), but I started again, and later trips didn't affect this noticeably. Maybe, I'm addicted because being not confident... I don't believe I can be that effective without stimulation. And it seems that i really can't! However, I tried an experiment for a while. I replaced mate with mint tea and experienced the same lift! Looks like my addiction is not towards caffeine but to a ritual of drinking something "special" in the morning...

Because drugs are cool and so am I, so it's only natural that we're attracted to each other

Honestly, I think that most people become addicts due to the nasty physical withdrawals that come from prolonged use.
You don't have to be depressed, unhappy, or suffer from low self-esteem to get hooked. I've definitely met some successful people who slowly turned into addicts....
It's always the same cycle. You try coke or heroin once and it makes you feel 1000x better than you ever thought possible. You don't feel any withdrawal symptoms yet and you feel like you have full self control. You decide to do it once a month as a treat because your free will is still completely in tact. You have a stressful week and decide to make an exception. This exception becomes the rule and now you're doing it once a week. One day you wake up feeling completely empty, depressed, and drained. The feeling is unbelievably negative and the only way to spike up your mood is to get more smack. And now you're a slave.

Stay far from timid, only make moves when your heart's in it.

I smoke pot every day. Why? Tell me an activity that isn't more fun high.
I had a coke phase. I did it about 3-6 times a week. It was definitely because I thought it would help with social anxiety. But now I realize it was all just in my head. Now I just don't care.
