Thanks so much. So interesting and I learned a lot of new things. 🙂

Helen, this is a great article. Thank you! I was struggling with responding to the question and you made it unnecessary.
I often think of the difference this way- if you are dependent on a substance and run out, you might be uncomfortable and anxious. If you are addicted the substance and run out, you might seek to buy it ‘on the street.’
A very casual and non-official description.
