[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 716468, member: 18958"] There is a distinction between physical addiction and psychological addiction. When I was a young woman I smoked for a time and went to a group for help quitting. I remember being taught the physical need ceased in 3 days. It took years to not want to smoke to cope and relax or when I was in dozens of situations that triggered the desire to smoke. While never addicted to benzos at a couple of times in my life I have had them prescribed. I loved the sense of wellbeing and calm they induced which has made me extra vigilant to not seek out this altered state. My son relies on excessive quantities of marijuana to induce a meditative state he claims. Yeah. Right. But I know first hand how blissful it feels to not care and to diminish suffering. This craving and dependency can be psychological independent of addiction in the physiological sense. [/QUOTE]
