That was the end of my experimentation with morphine sulfate. Thomas, on the other hand, became addicted to morphine. So we have two people living in the exact same apartment with the exact same access to the exact same drug. Yet one of them becomes dependent and the other one doesn't. Why is that?

We both had access to the same bottle, but it wasn't just the drug. Thomas was going through a lot of emotional pain as a result of losing his father. I was in a relatively emotionally stable situation and was less susceptible to addiction for that reason.
