He is very outgoing and seems to be also very restless.

Trying to recover from a cocaine addiction, is my friend making it worse?
I started using cocaine years ago, my best friend also uses cocaine she started way before me though we have been doing it together for a long time and I got very addicted. It's to the point now where I have a love hate relationship with the stuff. Mainly though I'm really tired of keeping this up and I dont want to do it anymore. I go a few days without then I do it again...and so on....but so far it has been one week a long time for me, ok? and I'm feeling great. The urge is going away and I'm loving it. BUT my best friend keeps getting some...and the kicker is. She tells her husband she's buying it for ME. Now her husband is " worried about me" and she thinks it's funny. She says it's not hurting anyone but I'm really offended. I'm really hurt by all this but she seems to think it's no big deal...what do u guys think?

Does this sound like a possible cocaine addiction?
My sister is 27 and has tried almost every drug I can think of everything from LSD to coke. She did coke once in my presence almost 2 years ago and I tried to discourage her from doing it. She told my boyfriend how much she wanted to do it again sometime. When I confronted her again later on, she claimed that she only did it a couple more times. Recently she moved to Chicago, where she occasionally hangs out with known cokeheads. She makes more money that I do, doesn't pay rent, lately she keeps bouncing checks at least a few times a month and never has any money. She is far too old to do still bounce her account. She has also been more distant than usual and barely calls me and my family anymore. She claims she as a job, but I feel like she might not and has been very secretive and eccentric, like she doesn't even know what's going on. Now my parents think she's a cocaine addict. What are warning signs? What should I do?

I am a 41 year old mother of 4 and I have developed a cocaine addiction.?
I was first introduced to it about 2 years ago. Some friends wanted me to try it. I was reluctant at first but then was curious, never done anything in my life. I actually loved it, it made me feel more social but was only a once in awhile thing, now it's becoming a once or twice a week thing. I don't know how to tell my husband I need help. He has tried it to but has complete control and knows what the limits are and hasn't touched it in about a year.I have almost exhausted my credit card for this and then I lie saying i bought groceries or gifts. He has no idea how much i have actually spent on it. I am living a life of a lie and am looking into a NA meeting. I think if my husband finds out he may leave or make me feel belittled. Help I don't know what to do anymore.

How do I get my friends to realize they have a cocaine addiction and need help?
I'm see my friends less and less, but every time I see them their sniffing cocaine. I don't think they realize HOW MUCH their doing it because every time they get confronted they just make excuses and say their not doing it that much. On top of all of that, they have just changed as people, and their just jerks. I don't even know who my best friend is any more.I fear that some of them are only a step away from overdosing and i don't want to loose any of my friends. I hope someone could give me some good advice. Thank You.

Blackout drunk + cocaine = addiction?
This is all hypothetical, but it's a question I've been pondering for awhile.Say someone gets blackout drunk, to the point of no memory, and does cocaine 5 10 times whilst blacked out. This person has never done cocaine before. Without any knowledge the next day of doing the cocaine, is it really possible to be physically addicted? I understand the chemical addiction in the brain, but how would the user know? Would he sit there and all of a sudden feel like doing a drug he's never done before, or would it just be a strange withdraw feeling?Purely hypothetical, but nonetheless a bit interesting.
