Opioids are insanely and ~~instantly~~ quickly addictive. I accidentally became addicted after knee surgery.
When the pain subsided, I stopped taking them, and within a day I found myself curled up in a ball and wanting to rip my own skin off. It's really true when addicts describe it as "being uncomfortable in your own skin".
The moment I realized I was experiencing withdrawal, I flushed the meds down the toilet and just suffered through it for a couple days.
Never ever touch heroin. Stay away from prescription opioids unless it's really really needed, and make sure it's short term only.
