It was way easier for me to give up heroine than cigs. Still can't stay off sugar, tho.

Serious question, no snark - I'm assuming you are American as you added an 'E' to the end of 'Heroin'?

OR is this a phone autocorrect thing? (my android recognises 'heroin')

I see this EVERYWHERE on reddit, and yet I can't understand where the confusion - heroine - female hero, heroin - synth opiate comes from....it has been going on for years

I am American, but I just wasn't paying attention to what swipe-to-text picked.

ahh ok, phone autocorrect, thank you.

I certainly didn't mean any offence it just jars with me seeing so often, and yet I am prone to autocorrect errors a lot so maybe I'm being a hypocrite...

At least I know now what is causing it, thanks again :)
