Physical addiction (as opposed to psychological) is rarely the one that worries people. It's not what keeps a drug user dependent for years as their lives unravel. If it was, then a simple detox would "cure" the addiction. We wouldn't have rehab programs and support groups, just hospital beds and observation for a week or two. The addiction that is hardest to kick is almost always the psychological one. The one that sticks around long after any trace of the substance has gone from your system, and long after any withdrawal symptoms have subsided. Sorry if I'm picking on your comment, but that phrase "isn't physically addictive" always strikes me as missing the point.
