3 year Oxy addiction + quitting cold turkey = Immunity to opiates?

Anyone ever hear of this shit before?

I was an Oxy addict for about 3 years. I was insufflating up to 180mg's per day, almost every day. This went on for about 3 years and I went through all the highs and lows of the addiction. One day I decided to up and quit. Surprisingly, quitting cold turkey wasn't that bad. First 1-3 days sucked but then everything kind of leveled out.

I stayed 100% clean for over a year, up until recently when I started to mess with Opiates again recreationally. I'm now able to get 60mg Morphine when I want, Dilaudid's occasionally, and even heroin if I so desire.

Needless to say, opiates do nothing for me anymore it seems. I can IV a 4mg Dilaudid and in 15-20 minutes I'm straight again. I can snort 120mg's of Morphine in an hour and barely catch a decent buzz. Even snorting the H doesn't do much but offer maybe 10-15 minutes of a nod.

It's like my brain chemistry changed completely and I'm unable to get high now. The analgesic effects of opiates doesn't even seem to work that well on me anymore. I don't even really feel the addictive qualities of these drugs. I could go on an all night binge with ANY drug, and then wake up the next morning and go to work like it was nothing and not desire to do more.

This ever happen to anyone else?
 
Yes physiological and molecular changes do/would have occurred throughout your addiction.

Check out this thread, will have important/related information to try and explain what you're describing > http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/...-receptors?p=11976078&viewfull=1#post11976078

To (probably overly) simplify an answer for you - a combination of a hugely built tolerance and genetic polymorphisms : individual anatomical/physiological differences betwee each person to person, resulting in (sometimes dramatically) differences between one another.
