Over a period of time he or she becomes stuck in an addictive pattern of behavior that causes more damage than good.

When it first started there was relief temporary as it may have been it was a relief however, the line became crossed and the addiction took over.

Maybe family or friends have suggested to him or her they have a problem? Someone at work recognized the behavior on the job had changed? Whatever the reason it is finally brought to the surface for him or her; the time has come to seek out help.
