So, SWIM has been recreationally using various substances such as weed (10 years), MDMA, shrooms, and cocaine for about 4 years now.
SWIM was using MDMA about two to three times a month for about a year, this ending a little over a year ago, and MDMA not being of much interest anymore.
SWIM has always liked coke, and has noticed that, in the past two years their consumption has become more frequent. Going from once every few months to around once a month to two months, and when they do, they always do the entirety of it (usually a gram, sometimes a little more). They seem to be unable to save any for the next night, even once home for the night, the bag always gets finished. After these mini-binges, SWIM is done for several weeks. This doesn't affect their job, and it is only used on weekends.
SWIM's main concern is the seeming inability to stop once started for the night. SWIM knows that is the nature of the cocaine high, but sees others who also enjoy partaking, stopping once headed home for the night.
When does this cross from a fun occasional mini-binge to a legitimate issue? Or is this something, that like MDMA, SWIM will eventually just lose interest in?
SWIM doesn't think it is a problem in their life, and has not caused any personal or professional issues, but also finds that they wouldn't want to tell their friends (the ones that don't partake) exactly how often they do it...
Just looking for a little general advice/guidance!
