To summarise...
Using the shit weekly, how do you people feel it affects you? You get by weekdays OK? Or how long did it take you before you slipped it into the weekdays?
For the ex-coke heads in particular, if you stopped using it and have suceeded, how do you feel after how long using?- any noticable sideaffects from your binging? Not just the urge to relapse that I assumed would be prominent...
Sorry if this is a bit vague and I know it may be difficult to convey cocaine related feelings when, most likely, you've consumed other shit as well and the fiend within has his say :)
oh and im just not intrested in IM/IV, well.. not yet anyway ;)
 
This is the thing that I've always liked about cocaine. It's very easy to walk away from. I've had periods of massive consumption snorting and IVing. I haven't really done it in a month or so and have no real desire to.
 
I don't use anything but cocaine. I only use it on the weekends. when I first started using it, my usage would sometimes slip into the weekdays (I guess that's because, when I'm on coke I can do anything that I do when I'm sober). during the weekdays, when I'm not on coke - I feel fine. even after binges, I feel normal. that's one of the things I like about it, it's easy to completely stop using it.
 
i love the attitude, thanks for the replys people! if you dont mind me adding, how are your nose's coping? how many grams you handled so far?
 
Well one thing i noticed that when i did it everyday to every other day for a few monthes i ran out of my life savings pretty fast so one side of affect of only doing it once in a while is lots more money. Also during that time period i was extremely paroniad about friends family everything i felt wierd around everyone. Some of the paronia has followed with me i think. Now when i do it i usually can control myself a little better. But for me once i do a line then thats all that is in my mind for the rest of the night.
 
coke never slipped into weekdays until i became better at using it. initially coke just jacked me up, perfect for parties, way too obvious for work. but as i got better at moderating it, it became easier to say 'hmm, i've got a long day ahead, a bump or two will pick me up.'
coke is easy to quit as long as you have no sources around. out of sight, out of mind. but knowing a source is reliable, cheap and close makes it a bit harder to just party occasionally.
 
ive been doing coke on a weekly basis for a few months now, and i do it on week days but not everyday, and not a planned out thing, its sort of like me and my friends get some dough togeather and decide "lets get crunked up tonight", and we wind up getting coke. id say i do coke about 2-4 days a week. anyway, i have to say from my experiance that coke is extremely over rated and blown out of proportion, the high itself and the addictiveness. the only reason i find coke addictive at all, is because its the kind of drug you can do in any situation (like weed) to put a little glow on everything, that and its cheap and easiliy available is the reason im a "coke head" although that term changed a whole lot after i realized coke is just another harmless drug the goverment made out to look evil, its really not very addictive at all.
 
i use it 2 to 3 weekends a month now with no problems but a hole in my wallet.
the past few years though i used to use it about 4 times a week or more. sometimes all night-mostly, sometimes just a few bumps-rarely. usually money will hold you back from forming a serious addiction. i don't want to even think about the amount of my hard earned money i have blown on coke, literally. it is only really addictive while you are doing it, very hard to stop while you are on it. especially when you run out and your friend sitting next to use has an ounce in his pocket. that usually turns a long night into a long weekend.
i haven't really noticed any side effects besides the immediate comedown which fucking sucks. i sometimes think it has had a serious contribution to my lack of motivation, but who knows, it could be the coke or any of the other dozens of drugs i have used excessively.
peace, outkast
 
***dont tease the greenlighter***
been using coke for many years, although it became very recreational (4-5 times a year) during 1999. i was divorced in september of last year, as a result i started using again pretty frequently. that was 6 months ago, now i'd say i use somewhere around 20-25 days out of the month. typically, a 5-10 day binge will be followed by 1-3 days off. i use it on weekdays, and without any real adverse effects unless i continue to do it late into the night and disrupt my sleep schedule. as long as the last line is around 9-10 pm, immediately followed by sleeping pills, i'm fine. nose is mildly irritated sometimes, but nothing major. financially its not terrible, since coke for me replaces many other expensive social activities (bar hopping, going out to eat, etc.). i would like to slow down a bit, but until sobriety offers something even remotely comparable to being high, i don't see it happening. as far as total grams consumed, i have absolutely no idea. i figure i do 1 eight a week normally, then one week of of the month (end of month after bills are paid) i usually have a little private fiesta and do 3 or 4. hope that's the kind of info you were looking for.
 
I love coke, I really do. But I only have access to it about once a month.
I can see how it can be very addictive. Its not the feeling that's addicting, so much as its really easy to use. You're not "whacked" on coke.
It's addicting like nicotine is addicting. You have to be careful, its to easy to slip into it. Be very careful.
