I am a cocaine recreational user. Only when I have money do I binge on both powder and hard cocaine. I used to be completely addicted to IV coke and smoking hard, and that was when I was able to afford it every day because I worked for tips at a resturaunt and made bank. Every day me and my buddy would ride to the spot and grab either hard or soft cocaine, mostly smoked hard then, and every night when it was all gone, even with benzos, I would crave it like a bitch and then say "damn, now I am broke and feel like shit, why do I keep doing this to myself everyday!" or "This is my last time, I'm not doing it again after today!" cant tell you how many times I said that shit and it never happened like that! Both forms of coke are super addicting and short lasting. Coke can become a real problem if you let it control you like it did me, no matter how you do it, I mean yes IV coke and smoking crack are both a bit more addicting than sniffing it because they last an even shorter amount of time and get you way more of a rush than sniffing it does. Anyways my old job fell through, and I had no choice but to stop doing it, that led me to stay off coke for like a year to a year and a half, then I started getting money, but only on the weekends as my next job had no tips. I then got back into to it, but was able to keep it only a weekend thing, even with crack and iv coke, just did it on the weekends and I liked that pattern much more than I did doing it every day, loving that first hit then hating it, I have now grown to just like it once a week and that's it and its much better that way. And now if I don't have it.. so what. its no big deal like it used to be for me, I just wait it out, take my subs and kpins and chill most of the time, and when I have enough money I party!
