> touched on how smokers eventually need cigarettes just to feel normal.

This is the same for every addictive substance, no?



I was amphetamine addict, I used daily for a year, very excessively in later stage. When I stopped I felt normal, it was not fun but I did not need amphetamine to get through the day. There is no physical urge to use more, you do it because you like it. It is very different with opiates I heard, but you said every. The word addiction pushed me towards drugs because I thought if I can stop any time it is not addiction and it is fine.


I am sorry for your experience, but having lots of experience myself in amphtemines I do not consider it an addictive substance.
