I hope this isn't the case. I was kind of excited for him to read this thread and see that he was quitting. I hope he updates us on how he's doing. Even if he's had a relapse, it would still be good to know how he is doing.sumo said:

In Peru or Colombia eg the percentage of users is stable and usage is usually chronic but not massive. Some people do half a line after lunch, much like we do coffee or tea. Others do a few lines on Saturday night. Of course since those countries have had cocaine for centuries, there may be genetic factors that favour mild usage rather than bingeing, I don't know.epote said:

If you already know this, just ignore this paragraph. LeJunk already explained it, but I think I can offer some information that might still be interesting and that some people might not know--- Even pure cocaine still has some serious health-related risks. It raises blood pressure and increases heart rate, putting stress on your cardiovascular system. Depending on how susceptible you are to this kind of stress and how often and how much you use, it might or might not cause some permanent damage to your heart. A guy I knew recently died of heart failure -- but he was an extreme example and he had been using it heavily every day for a while and would go to work visibly strung out on it all the time. It also depletes your body of vitamins and minerals. Go on longer binges and you end up dehydrated, sleep-deprived, stressed, and not eating healthy foods, hence the dissipated, haggard look that is common after a binge.epote said:cocaine has very few drowback if its good quality, what made you want to drop it?

Le Junk said:Good question! Well, as you can probably tell from most of my posts, cocaine began to completely consume me. I spent nearly 5 years trying to perfect the entire cleaning process, and in that process, spent nearly all of my time and money, either talking about cocaine, or doing cocaine. All in all, over the past 5years, I've spent probably somewhere in excess of $100K.....easily on just cocaine alone.
My old MO used to be binges that would last for two or three days, and then I'd take 3-4 days off. Over the course of the last 5 years, I began doing something I always said I'd never do, and that was start using every single day. Old interests started taking a backseat to my use of cocaine. I'd just stay in and do coke all day long. My work, and obviously my marraige started to takes it's toll. My nestegg started to disappear right before my very eye's, and I just kept on doing it.
So, for you and all others out there, the warning signs are your usage picking up slowly, your old favorite interests lose their luster, you start talking about it all the time, your relationships take a back seat to your cocaine, and you start looking like shit. You start running out of money and your best friends/wife etc. may actually tell you you've got a problem. If this happens, you do!
Just be careful, it's a creeper. Any changes in your lifestyle due to cocaine use, is an early warning sign of problems ahead. PLUR.
