Addiction is related to stimulation of the pleasure center in the brain. Certain activities have that effect, and if carried out simply for the sake of pleasure, stimulation or distraction from unpleasant feelings, can become addictive.

Shopping, sex and similar activities that can be indulged in for the sake of pleasure without lasting reward are also high on the list.

What does meth do to your body systems?
Meth affects the central nervous system by flooding the brain with dopamine, the neurotransmitter responsible for feelings of pleasure and reward. Because meth provides the brain with an artificial source of dopamine, it can cause the neurotransmitter to fire abnormally. The brain will then chase that rush of dopamine, quickly facilitating addiction to meth. It may then be difficult for the brain to produce dopamine normally without the presence of meth.
