Addiction? I don’t think so...

[Carbine]

A few months ago I started using heroin, after researching the potential risks. I was careless, and honestly expected to become addicted.

Anyway, when I fell out with my group i found i had no connections whatsoever in the scene. I expected to crave the stuff, have withdrawals etc but instead - NOTHING. Weird.

I have heard that a very small number of people have body chemistry that doesn't allow them to become physically addicted to heroin - anyone know if this is true? Otherwise, is it possible that I was taking something low-grade with low potential for addiction? (I'm in Melbourne, Australia).

Right now, I miss it heaps, but only in an emotional sense...physically, it's like nothing has changed.

If someone could shed some light, I'd appreciate it...
