Curious to know if you guys think that it would take longer for a non addicted opiate user to develop a physical addiction if the user were to naturally produce endorphins between use, e.g vigorous physical exercise, sex, laughter?

Hey there, firstly a non-addicted opiate user will not develop physical addiction regardless of exercise or not. If the opiate doses are spread apart throughout weeks/months, then you will not be addicted.

If you are asking whether or not natural endorphins will slow down the potential of becoming addicted, in my experience, no. I have exercised almost my entire life, so I can not compare to how I would have withdrawn if I had not exercised. But with daily vigourous exercise, alot of the times, depending on timing, both day and night, five - seven times a week, I would still develop addiction and I would still withdraw.

Although I have never vomited or had blasting diareaha or wanting to climb the walls. My main problems were sore bones and headaches along with chills. Maybe the natural endorphins reduced the severity of my symptoms come to think of it, because I did have a massive habit of daily dosing and I always quit CT, but I have nothing to compare to.

But even if you exercise vigoursly, you will still get addicted and you WILL still withdraw.
 
It's possible that physical addiction can be delayed slightly. But eventually you'll fall into the vice. I know that working out always made me feel better if I was in withdrawal. When I didn't work out at all I really had to deal with paws head on.

If you want to be really cool you could work out constantly and only chip on opiates every few months. Once there's a pattern and your getting high to often your going to wake up sick!
