So I got to thinking about how people go on binges and the different ways that the binges show on the people. I don't binge anymore, I use dope steadily day to day, but I remember being a cokehead and I binged on coke a lot. Some people binge frequently in between periods of relative sobriety, while others binge on top of a daily habit. Some people binge larger than others. Some people hold up under the tension better than others.
For me, usually it would start with a few grams of coke. Possibly some drinking, usually some pot too. We'd go to the guys, do it driving around the neighborhood, then when those were out go for more. Then usually after we did an 8 ball or something we'd grab our personals, and all go home to use alone. This would be a gram or three more. That lasts till 3 or 4 in the morning perhaps. That's a binge if you ask me, and by the end you're a paranoid, ragged wreck, but my friend C who has since died of a heroin overdose would literally lock himself in his house for three days with an ounce of coke (he worked under the table in a medical office the lucky rich bastard) and not eat, sleep, or go out for the duration. He'd shoot it all too sometimes, while the most I ever did IV was a few grams supplemented by several more sniffed. He was a shaking hallucinating zombie after this sort of mission, really pitiful to see.
So how about you? Do you go all out? Or do you set a more measured pace but binge for far longer? What tells you the binge is over? Is it simply lack of supplies, or can you end it yourself if things start getting too hairy? It doesn't need to be hard drugs either as anybody who's been on a xanax bender or even a long drunk will know. I exclude pot, because while I don't object to the 'i get weed withdrawls' thing so much I do know that if you do manage to catch legitimate weed withdrawls or a weed 'habit' that they are nothing in the face of heroin sickness or cocaine lust or the depth of the madness of a meth binge.
