Do benzodiazepines cause addiction as well as physical dependence?

Benzos are the worst thing for me. I got clean about 6 months ago after my fiancé died from an overdose of benzos and opiates In front of me. I managed to ditch the physical dependence debut have relapsed 3 or 4 times since then. I don't crave opiates massively but always benzos. I was taking roughly 500mg of Diaz a day at my worst so they def rnt good for me but I can't seem to shift the fascination! Benzos are he only drug I crave really now. After having got clean about half a year ago iv relapsed a few times but always been lucky enough to dodge the physical dependence but the cravings are aweful. I went about 3-4 months without relapsing on them and the cravings started to lessen but still pretty over-whelming. It's weird I was reading ur first post where u quoted some guy saying he's never found benzos addictive and u how u said u quit them after 13 years and hasn't had craving since thinking lucky fuckers! Oh well onwards n upwards I suppose.
