Normally addiction is caused either, because something stimulates a certain hormone to be produced and released or substituting it, or because the body expects the dosage after it was used for a certain length, or because someone craves to escape reality.

The only addiction I know of which people can't break out of because of the withdrawal symptoms is tobacco.

The difference between addiction and withdrawal symptoms is that while the withdrawal symptomes cause you to take the drug/do the addictive action to stave of those, an addiction is more akin to be compelled to use the drug/do the action again without other influences.
