How much Coke is too much?

For the past 6 weeks or so I've done on average 1 line, 3-4 times a week - But at this stage, I can easily go without - am I on the path to addiction?
 
Addiction can't really be measured in how much you use but how dependant you are on the substance. do you find you can't perform everyday tasks without having coke. IMO using a substance more then once a week is addiction but that is my personal opinion. Even when i find myself using a substance every week i give myself a break and try to slow down. you may not be addicted at the moment but you could be heading down that path, everything in moderation.
 
Hmmm yes I feel I'm socially inept without some sort of lubricant. Without it, I subconsciously disguise my fears by being obnoxiously gregarious, if that's possible, so the coke actually calms me down.

But would you gladly change that to 3-4 times an hour if given the chance? And will you still answer that way in six months?

If you stick to a few a week should be OK, but try to have a break every now and then. The problem is, it's the desire for more which becomes dangerous as it often steadily increases over time. Regularity is therefore a problem for some people.

as PJ suggested, i'd also suggest slowing down from that kind of usage..

..using drugs to mask personality issues is a troubling reason for using in the first place - maybe you should try sorting these things out on your own before you turn to coke to do it for you, because i'd imagine that in the long run regular coke usage will not make you a better person, physically, financially or socially.

I'm fully aware of what I'm doing and what the consequences are - guess I'm really just being lazy and using coke as a temporary crutch until I do find the incentive to 'sort myself out'. The wiser alternative will require a lot of unaided effort, consistence and self discipline, something I don't have the strength to muster at the mo.
 
I haven't had much experience with coke, just a whole heap on my wedding night. Does it make you feel like meth does? Was doing way too much of that for months and have recently weaned myself off it. Still get longings for the stuff when lounging around on the weekend.
 
Some people form an emotional addiction to a substance long before they form a physical one, from what you have said, it sounds like you could easily form this kind of addiction, basically because you are using it as a social crutch,not just as a mood enhancer as such.
Thats something you will have to work out on your own, but I don't believe that taking drugs is a good way to boost your confidence and morale as a long term solution.

As for coke being like meth?
IMHO I don't think it is, but other ppl may disagree.
I did live in the UK for 18 months and had some very decent quality, but have been bitterly disappointed at anything that has been offered to me here.
It will boost your confidence, make you feel god damn fantastic, turn your face and jaw numb.....and be all over in about an hour.
I think its fun if you can afford it, but also highly over rated.
 
How much is too much - shit, wish I was experienced enough to even come close to answering that question. Living in Perth it is not the easiest thing to come across. Every time we though we had our hands on the stuff (it even numbed the gums) we got completely stooged!!!
 
If I were you I'd test how easily I could go without... To prove to myself that it was possible. Stop for a week. If you can't stop for a week, perhaps you're already addicted... If you can, so be it :)
 
The wiser alternative [socialising without cocaine] will require a lot of unaided effort, consistence and self discipline, something I don't have the strength to muster at the mo.

Breaking a cocaine addiction would also take a lot of unaided effort, consistence and self-discipline, all of which might be even harder to muster up when experiencing withdrawal symptoms...

I feel for those poor people in the US who are paying USD$(small price) a G for coke.... how are they ever suppose to give it up at that price?

LOGIC: The Warning

Speaking from experience, regret can be a good aid to quitting, and coke usually supplies plenty of that over time. A big shock sometimes seems necessary for some people to realise the substance for what it is. For me, the dark cloud headspace/ withdrawal period took a good six months, and a change of environment to clear.

As Strictly Rhythm's Logic said "This is The Warning" and should always be remembered when fantasizing about sand pit sized supply:

It's the things which money can't buy that are easily lost forever....

In this regard I was very lucky.
