Am I a freak? Or is the worst yet to come?

I did painkillers every single day for a strait year. On the lowest end, I did 45 mg daily. On the high end, o did 180mg daily. 30 mg got me high at a time, but icould sustain myself with just a piece of that. I decided last week I needed to stop. I was getting too far in and I was broke with a family. This Sunday started the end.

Sunday I did 60mg.

Monday I did my last 15 mg in the morning, around 9 am. Around 4 I started getting chills and took a tiny price of suboxone. (less than 1.5 mg). This took it away. Around 1am that night, my legs started KILLING me, so I took another small price, the same size. I couldn't sleep much but I was ok.

Tuesday- I wanted to wait as long as I could between subs so I could make it last. At 3pm I took another sub the same size. And I was fine.

Wednesday, took nothing. I was completely fine, but I had cravings. Wed night, my legs hurt to high he'll, so I took nyquil to sleep. Within 5 min, the leg pain went away and I slept amazing the whole night.

Thursday (today) I woke up, I'm perfectly fine, not even a craving.

Now I have never had an addictive personality, I did coke daily for six months, and stopped without any withdrawal or care in the world, and I've been doing pills for years randomly without ever getting hooked. I thought for sure I would have some physical addiction to it. Is the worst yet to come? I know sub has a half life, but still ok days later with that little?
