Due to some combination of terrible life choices, either yours or someone else's (or perhaps a mishmash of both), you have become addicted to a drug. Using the drug gives plenty of benefits, but also gets you hooked on it. Not using the drug can ease your addiction, but hurts you in the short term.

Using Your Drug. Using your drug of choice is a gamble. It provides many benefits, however with smart use you can balance your addiction and bonuses. For every 5 days of using the drug, your addiction level raises by 1. Your addiction level determines how many doses of your drug you must take to avoid the effects of withdrawal. Using multiple doses at once, whether to keep up with your addiction or simply for shits and giggles, you must roll that many times for the effects you enjoy or suffer.

"I can stop any time I want!" - It would be easier to list every drug user who hasn't said this at some point.
