[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 633727, member: 1550"] Alcohol is not as addictive as heroin. A lot of alcoholics quit, although often not in time to curb the damage to their bodies. Some die. I think you hear less about heroin addicts quitting...usually they are put on another drug that is less dangerous than heroin. I forgot the name of it. Used to be Methadone. A guy I dated had a brother who was a heroin addict and he was on methedone. He slipped up and got back on heroin, but he's back on methadone again. He can't stay off heroin without the methodone. Each addiction is different, a little bit. All require a desire to quit in order to quit. Your body doesn't outgrow addiction. Would be nice, but it doesn't happen. [/QUOTE]
