The relationship to cocaine usually starts out as recreational use. However, Cocaine is one of the most addictive drugs due to the rapid progression of tolerance, where users quickly find they need to do more and more to get high. One of the most expensive substance abuse habits, Cocaine addiction often causes financial turmoil. This expense causes many users to turn to Crack-Cocaine instead of Cocaine, because it is cheaper.
Cocaine abuse can leave the user broke, isolated, and desperate. It can lead to organ problems and failure, chronic cognitive deficits like poor motor skills, confusion, impaired judgement, and loss of memory. Cocaine users are much more prone to domestic incidents, uncontrollable anger, and psychosis.
Cocaine addiction can creep up on someone, but often leaves destruction in its wake. We can often feel the illusion that we have it under control, but from the outside and to others, we are clearly spiraling. Cocaine tends to feed the ego and convince us that we perform better with it, but once things start to fall apart, our relationships erode, and our finances begin to shrink, we begin to see that Cocaine abuse might not be serving us.
Here are some warning signs that Cocaine Abuse has become a problem:
Cocaine addiction is extremely difficult to overcome alone. It can be hard to pull yourself away from the people, places, and things that have enabled your use. You have been using cocaine to cope with the stresses of life, and without new coping skills it can be hard to stay clean.
