Yes I have definitely become dependent on it and I have stopped, though I always seem to relapse. Dealing with my emotions is much harder without it. I seem to have an addictive personality, as it’s hard for me to have just 1 glass of wine or 1 cup of coffee, or 1 candy bar....I always want more. The amount I was smoking was way too much. A very expensive habit but it takes my worries away and I just sleep my life away. I’m scared to take meds because I know I would become dependent. I’m sure for some people it’s the right choice, but for me I’m very hesitant.
