Where Do They Find These People?

I have been watching "My Strange Addiction" for both seasons now.  And one thing I always wonder is how something can start out as a LOVE, then turn to an OBSESSION, and then spiral into an ADDICTION.  I also wonder where they find these people for the shows.  Do they write in to the show, with their weird addictions?  Also, the thing is every single time I tune in, the "addictions" are always the weirdest things you would never think of.  Another thing I wonder, is why people volenteer themselves to be filmed while they do these weird things....like eating rocks/pottery/couch cushions/cigarette butts/corn starch/comet.....having a real life doll as a wife/taxidermy/rats.....and whatever else. 
To me it seems as if their families/friends have no clue about these addictions.  And then they broadcast it across the world on TV for EVERYONE to see.  But really where do they find these people for the show?!  And one more thing.....this show is definetely not a dinner time show.  I have felt sick to my stomach numerous times, while watching.

Maybe the show's message is that anything can be an addiction?!
I admit I am drawn to it, to see the next crazy addiction/person.
