Cocaine Use: Effects Of Cocaine Addiction

Question: Why did you feel your personal cocaine use was an issue? what caused the feeling of being an addict?

I use cocaine recreationally and somewhat medicinally. The recreational side is obvious, but most people don't realize there are some unlucky Americans with a very, very, very high tolerance to caffeine. And with so many Americans being sleep deprived and just generally drained, who doesn't use some wake- up substance? Well, here you have my reasons for using, and I don't want to quit. I have a good job and can afford it, so I want to know why cocaine has been so defamated that it is in the same ranks as the "fiend " drugs, ones that force users to think only about the drug, namely heroin and free- base cocaine.

You have to stop and think why are you using it in the first place? Not all people have a need or desire to use cocaine. I used it years ago and thought it was pretty harmless. But as time goes on you will be one of the lucky ones if you are able to see its downside. what causes us to become addicted is the "euphoric recall " You always want that first time feeling and as time goes on and you become more and more tolerant you have to use more of the drug. (just like people with the caffeine tolerance). Its a sneaky drug...it has you hooked before you know what happened and before you know it you are becoming sick..spiritually, emotionally and maybe physically...heres you a poem I found awhile back ..... Bored with the old, want something new? I'll be your friend, let me walk with you I'll make you feel good, I'll make you feel great I'll be your best friend, I'll be your mate I'll take you places you've never been And once we start out, you'll want me again I've taken much stronger than you to the grave So go steal for me, and be my slave As your new master and only friend For me, your values you'll start to bend To hurt and to kill Is my only game So try me just once, Pal Love, Cocaine I've carried this poem with me in my wallet for a long time as a reminder of where I've been and it never lets me forget. And trust me your time will come too where you are a slave to this "white devil " as I've heard it called. Good luck to you
