Shame, an intense, self-deprecating emotion, often underlies many behavioral patterns including addiction. It can give rise to dark thoughts and if left unchecked, catalyze a downward spiral into substance abuse or addictive behaviors. Therefore an essential part of overcoming addiction is dealing with the sense of shame that usually accompanies it.
