Benzodiazepines addiction?

...See more Good evening everyone. Recently I started using several types of benzodiazepines, such as bromazepam, phenazepam, diazepam etc. it's been a few months actually even if I never used them regularly. They are shortcuts to numb my pain or any sort of feeling. I've read that benzodiazepines cause addiction very quickly, beginning from the increased tolerance to the drug. I must confess my tolerance has raised and I need quite a lot more than before, but I do not experience any withdrawal, and even if I crave benzos at every minor inconvenience, I am sure I still can live without them. Sometimes weeks have passed in between and I haven't felt anything that could make me think I'm getting addicted. So here's my question: am I developing and addiction just by an increased tolerance and by substance craving? Or is it not? And if not, how so? Thank y'all
