I think it's a genetic thing, some people find that opiates make them feel good and risk addiction if they try them, others find them beneficial only for physical pain. Of course everyone would get physically dependent if they took them long enough, but those who risk addiction to unprescribed substances or would find them beneficial for depression in the unlikely event that they found a doctor who would prescribe them for that purpose are those who have a gene that responds to that substance. Probably the same with alcohol, I don't think people become alcoholics, no matter how many "issues" they have, unless they also have the gene for it. Cecilia
