When that natural chemical in your brain starts to be force produced by your intake of drugs, you can only derive pleasure after using, eg being high. the brain can't produce enough dopamine to what you are used to. All life experiences feel dull if you are not in that high. you keep wanting to return to that state, hence the body develops the habit. It comes to a time you just want to feel not sick.
It took quite a while to be able to feel pleasure again, but everything has come to normal. I still have random dreams of using and I wake up in sweat, just about all.
I saw so much pain, death and filth for a lifetime, not going back there anytime soon.
