There is a lot of truth to this but it conflates addiction with compulsion, which on the psych level is probably similar but to say that people who have long recoveries involving opiates dont have withdrawals is COMPLETE bullshit...I certainly had em. But I am a rather social creature and for me the flu like symptoms for three or four days wasnt that bad....I have been through it 3 time...once in 07 for spinal surgery, once in 2010 when I broke my leg and this year when I broke 14 bones and punctured a lung in a motorcycle accident...this year was the worst withdrawals because I was on HIGH doses of oxycodone for 4 months
