Addiction and Physical Dependancy are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS. If you don’t have the biology of addiction, you can get physically dependent upon a substance but once you detox from it, you won’t think about doing it again… “Addiction” isn’t the act of doing drugs but being unable to stop CRAVING and NEEDING to do them once you detox from them.
