"Do you know he was an 'addict'."
There is no such thing as a social heroine user.
There is a social drinker, not an alcoholic, who can go and have a drink or two in the society of others, and go home and have no further desire to go any further.
There is no such counterpart in the world of heroine.

Not so. I've known more than a couple of people who used heroin only occasionally and never became addicted. They could go for extended periods without using the drug. For every drug, from alcohol to morphine there are many different reactions. I was on heavy doses of morphine for six months and never became addicted. My brother was on it for a few weeks and did become addicted.
