How would you Explain "Dependence" ?

[HANSEL]

As in drug dependence? Can anyone eloquently explain this to me?

Psychological- You feel the mental need to continue using the substance so that effects that seem to be positive don't leave you the person you were before the substance was introduced to you.

Physical- Your body has become attuned to the consumption of the substance, and going off of it leads to uncomfortable physical symptoms, as your body "needs" the drug to allow you to continue to feel "normal".


That's the short of it.
