How to avoid binging?

[EveryStar]

All right, well I haven't done coke for over 4 months, but I'm planning on getting some this week. The thing is, 80-90% of the time I would get coke before, I would often end up binging nearly all night, finding it incredibly hard to stop (I'm sure a lot of you know that feeling).

I only remember a handful of occasions where I managed to put the bag away early on in the night and go to sleep or do something else.

I'm only gonna get like half a g cause it's been so long I don't want to risk blowing an 8-ball in a night or something, but I want to be able to just do a couple lines, then put it away for another night this time. Any tips? That's always been the biggest problem with coke, how I never had the desire to stop after doing it for a couple hours.

i have this problem when i smoke meth. while smoking is my preferred ROA, i decided to throw out the crack pipe today and save the rest to snort for another day. i also buy in small quantities to lessen the temptation of using the entire sack in one sitting.

Back when I used coke all the time, getting a nose bleed was a good way to slow down for the night.

The absolute best ways I've found to rationalize (try in order):

1) Self-control. This usually works for me.

2) Rationalize. Tell yourself how much of the drug you're WASTING. Especially if you're doing coke, by the end of the night you're snorting rockstar rails just to feel something that, in a day or two when you're straight, would completely rock your world again.

3) Economics. Figure out how much money you're snorting per line. Compare it to what you make an hour, and calculate how much time you had to bust your ass for the powder you're about to toot. Try not to cry until later, so your friends don't think you're weird.

4) Demand-Side Economics. Don't buy more than you're willing to potentially use. When you meet your connect, treat them like a strip club. Don't go in with more money than you really want to spend, otherwise you'll probably come out broke.

I don't have an addictive personality, but even for me the compulsive redosing with coke is nutty. Only others I've tried that came close for me were methylone and MDPV. You just have to be stronger than the drug.

Good luck, and snort some warm water or saline solution between lines. Your nose will thank you later.

Cocaine always exacerbated my OCD tendencies to a degree that was uncontrollable...Actually, all stimulants do that to me.....Whether I had a gram or 14 grams, I wouldn't sleep until it was all gone.....

Thank GOD I quit cocaine months ago....For people like me, there is no way to avoid binging on a substance like cocaine...It's just too short acting...

I hate to ingest drugs intranasally because I already have a deviated septum, so knowing that even one tiny line of coke up my nose will alter it's performance for a day or two afterwards was enough motivation for me to call it quits...

It helps to have some benzos/opiates + bud on hand so you can chill out when you put the sack and blade down.

Umm...I don't know, for me there is no way to avoid binging on coke/crack, but I have known people that can make a 20 bag last 2 weeks. It sounds like you aren't one of those people though. I usually go with the philosophy "go big or go home" I wont even bother with coke if someone offers me a line or if I have under $100 becasue I know I will feel good for a while and then it will suck becasue I will want more so I get enough so I can do it for a while and then know I'm out bc I've been partying for a long time and did all my drugs and now its time to move on. I'd rather have one big binge than space out my coke over the week but thats just me. Maybe that helps, maybe not lol. Good luck though

Opiates. Pop some pain pills after you do your last line...by the time the coke wears off and the opiates kick in, you'll forget all about doing more coke. I used to never bother with coke/crack unless I had an OC for my comedown. Especially with crack...crack is a whole other beast compared to coke. You will spend every penny you have on more crack...

Apparently, the last time two of my friends did crack, when they had run out, one of them suggested robbing someone for their cash to get more of the drug! I will NEVER do crack.

^ Smart man. Crack isn't addictive for me in the sense that I wake up sober and crave crack, it's addictive in the sense when I start doing it, I never want that high to end. It was 2 times doing the shit and 400 dollars later when I accidentally discovered the opiate trick...someone just gave me 4 7.5 vics, I took them, and 45 minutes later I was high as fuck on vicodin and just didn't want to smoke anymore crack. Problem solved. I did the shit about 6 times until I decided to quit for good in 2005...I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole now.

Yeah, but I shoot most of my coke, so that's what makes it hard to avoid binging. I can reasonably control myself while snorting it, until I decide the whip the pack of rigs out.
