Thanks for taking the time to responding.

It sounds like it's somewhat problematic, and it could get worse. You need to eat and sleep properly to be healthy.
If the temptation's too high, maybe you should try to just keep it as a weekend thing. Moderation's the key.

it is kinda a weekend thing that bleeds into the week...haha

Well if you're wondering whether it's a problem, it probably is. Coke is kinda hard to get off of, because of the mental effects of withdrawal (extreme depression and all), but I managed to quit it so can you.

Are you powerless over it, and has your life become unmanageable because of it?

the only probem with coke is the fact the best line your ever have is the next one, becareful with it,

Fantastic description.

yeah, that's a great description.
I think cocaine is nearly impossible to do recreationally.
it's like getting your heart broken by your boyfriend ( or girlfriend) of 2 years, and then still trying to **** him casually. it doesnt work. you need more.
