If you're stuck in the cycle you talked about, it doesn't matter if the drug isn't physically addictive; it's still got you. As for whether you should post this stuff - I wouldn't worry.

I was falling asleep at work, throwing up constantly, and was unable to complete even simple tasks for *seven months*. That's what morphine rehab is like. And *that's* for a fool. What you did, simply, was smart. “So, if I take Modafinil to stay awake, and want to stay awake the next day, the only option is to take Modafinil again the next day.
