Hi Poppinmolly.... I've been a heroin addict for over 25 years, and in that time I have met 2 people who never experienced withdrawals from opiates. One was a Native American named Jerry P. and he was my best friend for a lot of years. He died of non-Hodgekins Lymphoma a few years ago, but totally unrelated to his use of narcotics. The other person I know is a guy named Anthony R. and he is still alive and kickin (no pun intended). Anthony can do heroin every day for a month or 6 months or a year and then stop with no ill effects. Some people's chemical make up just allows them to process out the toxins without the bad feelings the rest of us get. No, you are definitely not a freak, just one of the lucky ones. Promise.
