The substance you become addicted to essentially changes your brain over time to the point that you crave it and will do whatever you can to get it in a manner that resembles your built-in instinct to seek water when dying of thirst in the desert, or food while in a period of starvation. You still care about incidental issues that hurt others while undergoing your drug-seeking behavior, but these moral misgivings still take a backseat to your compulsive need for a fix, and are mostly strong only after the fact upon reflection. Rather than seeking a pleasurable high, you're mostly running away from a physically and psychologically intolerable future.
