[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding why some people get hooked on pills and others do not, I think there are differences in how each person metabolizes them. I loved Vicodin the first time I took it. I never took more than the prescribed dose, which was minimal (5 mg, 2-3x day) and every time, it made me feel euphoric. I never had to take more to continue getting that feeling. I loved it so much that I stayed on it for 3 years, and my pain management clinic was only too happy to oblige. Finally stopped taking it and realized how much it had dulled my emotions and sense of joy. Feel like myself again. [/quote]

Right - I totally agree. For example, I randomly used to occasionally smoke a cigarette or two while out drinking in college. After a little while I felt like the cigarettes made me sick and so I just stopped. Other people's bodies have a totally different reaction and they become addicted.

I'm not addicted to substances but I am addicted to the internet (like probably most people here). The book Beautiful Ruins described it accurately... she woke up and took a digital hit...

Ugh I want to work on it![/quote]
