Detailed explanation-1: -Using now is not to really pursue pleasure anymore, it is to escape the pain, to take away, “negate”, the withdrawal. This further promotes, or reinforces, the drug usage. This is negative reinforcement. Removing (negative) the aversive stimuli or situation, by using the drug.
Detailed explanation-2: -Such behavior is usually viewed as a form of escape, that is, the response of consuming aspirins is negatively reinforced by relief from the headache.
Detailed explanation-3: -Negative reinforcement is NOT punishment or a “bad” thing. Negative reinforcement encourages the repeating of a behaviour by ✨removing✨ something. For example, when a person takes a painkiller to get rid of a headache, the behaviour of taking medicine is then negatively reinforced by the removal of pain.
