I cannot stop thinking about crack! Ever since i took my first blast off that rock a few months back its been scary! I smoked alot since then and went through 30-40 worth about once a week in a span of around 2 hours or so. I hate it so much because it feels so damn good after you hit it..then like an hour later its the comedown :(. I don't know what to do since experiencing this at such a young age of 16. Even though i hardly ever get it anymore, i crave the shit!
 
The pain is always worth enduring to get to that high when you addicted. You need to focus on what's best for what you want. I know you don't want to be a crackhead. Sometimes people can do it and sometimes we need to reach rock bottom. There are no easy answers and easy advice that will for sure save you. Just know you have to do it for yourself. Come on buddy I know you can stay off that shit.

You do not need it, tell your mind that crack will ruin you. PM me anytime if you need someone to talk to about it.
 
Man I have been there all you have to do is walk away and dont look back. First hits OK the rest are a waste but you still keep spending. At least IV you can leave yourself one last blast. I'm not advocating IV but that's the difference I have noticed

Oh man i would never even put out the suggestion of IV coke use to anyone! To do so is against all possible aspects of harm reduction. If the OP thinks he is bad off now wait until he is chasing the IV rush that comes with cocaine. Not only will he not have any self control but he also won't have a vein left in his arm after awile. Most of the people i know who have fucked their veins and end up doing really dumb and risky shit such as shooting into their neck, leg's or even penis 8o have been IV coke users. It's not uncommon at all for people who are IV coke addicts to shoot up every 10 minutes so that is naturally going to take a toll on your veins especially since coke makes you shake the higher your dose goes.

So yes while crack can be one compulsive bitch for some people IV coke is far worse in my opinion on the damage it does to you. I never got addicted to coke or crack but i do like crack all the same. It just never bothered me at all when i didnt have it. All the same ive spent more then a few nights up hitting the dirty auld pipe :| . Cocaine addiction can be far worse for many people then opiate addiction even. Ive seen people go from being perfectly healthy to looking like a survivor of a concentration camp after only a few months snorting coke, smoking rock or IVing coke. Sometimes all 3.

Get whatever help you need and there are a few medications that can help. Ive heard of wellbutrin (bupropion) being used to treat cocaine addiction and i think gabapentin may have been used for this purpose as well. I could be wrong on that so don't quote me.
 
Crack cocaine makes people develop some the most severe psychological addiction (or mental addiction). It is going to be hard to overcome, but you must not give into your craving.

Crack is a very dangerous drug, that can kill you in one hit.

Imagine yourself in the "longrun" of life.

Imagine yourself, how you will look, how smart you can be, if you stay away from crack.

With crack addiction, you will be severely skinny, have high blood pressure, probably will have an irregular heartbeat and heart-condition, and you will be more addicted the more you use it!

Try to think about what good comes out of smoking crack, besides the 20 second rush? And think about how shitty you feel after the short-lived high. And think about how much money you could be saving by NOT smoking a stupid rock or two!

Man, you are 16, and you have your whole life ahead of you. Some of the decisions you make now can have a huge effect on who and what kind of person you will be for the rest of your life. Make the right choice. Follow your heart.

drmcnasty, why would you suggest this? can you not tell what the op is trying to say? He is 16, and is scared that he is thinking about crack cocaine...

Why would you suggest this?:o

I am on a different side about this… you are 16 and on crack... It is a terrible habit that you have realized already! I don't advocate drug use but it is somewhat a relief to see you learning from a big mistake so early in life. This leaves you sooooooo much room to recover and get on with your life. Just put the crack down. See a Dr and get yourself the help you need. Recover from this now and you will save yourself a lifetime of misery.
 
try leave it behind now, not many people here (if any) will have good stories about an addiction to crack, or any other drug for that matter. crack is probably a little higher up on the scale than some other commonly abused/addictive substances. at 16 you have a lot ahead of you, dont throw it away. the lure of the rush is very strong, and its difficult to take heed of others advice, sometimes people have to learn the hard way. but i believe that crack among other drugs are ones which most people wish they had never tried.
 
Crack is just bad, bad news. The closest thing I've tried is coke, and even that's addictive, especially while you're doing it. What's that phrase? 'what do you do on coke? More coke'. Anyway, the longer you keep yourself away from it, it should get easier. There are no functioning crackheads that I know of.

One of my friends is a recovering crack addict. She's in her mid 30s. Penniless and homeless. Along with children she can't see on a regular basis because of her past use. Trust me, you're young and you haven't dived in too far. Get out while can.

Sadly you are spot on and ive lost more then a few friends to coke and crack. If anyone thinks there is much distinstingusion about the 2 they are usually kidding themselves. When you on coke what do you want? well fuck me more coke it is then! It's a pretty useless fucking high for such a addictive drug i gotta say that. I can't count how many times ive kicked myself in the nuts after spending money on crack and then realizing ah fuck i coulda spent that on something worthwile. Fuck i coulda bought a new TV or DVD player outta that or taken my g/f out to a good resteraunt or anything really other then that high that leaves you as quick as it hits.

I have many former friends amoung the walking dead thanks to crack addictions so i know just how bad it can get. It's only by pure luck i am not one of them. Your only 16 man fuck spend that money on something good for yourself and consentrate on something good for you and actually fun like getting laid for one ;) . Really anything is better then the dirt auld pipe as i like to call it.
 
Get off it while you can, especially at your current age as I suspect it will become harder the older you become.
