I started snorting cocaine when i was 21.It started off as a \"party drug\", now my current boyfriend and i are shooting it up. I hate that i do it, how it makes me feel, the marks on my arms, but the taste and the rush of seeing the blood in the syringe drives me crazy, we both work and have all are bills paid. we are on rock bottom but i feel if this continues it wont be long. During the week we are/were \"normal\" and as soon as the weekend comes you cant get us out the bathroom. We spend 500 to 1,000 dollars a weekend on dope. Now its getting to be every other day. I want to say that in not an addict but i dont think that....well, i dont know what to think. I can say that im not ready to stop. does that make me a weak person?

I will make this short and sweet, you are an addict and please get help. Go to a NA meeting and just sit there and listen. You do not have to participate. You will find that you are not alone in this and there are people here and there that can help you. I will pray for you and your boyfriend. Trust me I am an addict and always will be.....Patrick

No it does not make you a weak person, it makes you an addict. You are so young, you have so much life ahead of you, dont waist it on drugs. Like patrick said, go to a NA meeting. I dont think you have hit rock bottom, you will know when you have because you will have lost everything or may be at deaths door. You know you are going down the wrong road or you wouldnt be on DS. At least you have noticed so do something about it before it spirals out of control. Good luck.

Doesn't make you weak. Just being honest, and that's alright. If we all could use without the consequences most of us would. Usually when the consequences are too much for us, that's when we seek help. Perhaps you need to experiance those consequences. I hope not, but unfortunately that's the usual way it goes. You know your on the garbage truck. Do you really want to ride it all the way to the dump? You can get off, you know. I'll pray that you do James

honey,
you are not weak. what you are describing is the progression of the disease of addiction. you have choices. they are: JAILS, INSTITUTATIONS, AND DEATH. your disease will not get better. the appearance of maintaining is how the disease keeps a grasp on you. I hope that one day you, and your boyfriend will make it out of the bathroom. there may come a time that neither of you do. WHO WILL FIND YOU,HOW LONG BEFORE SOMEONE FINDS YOUR DEAD BODIES? THERE IS HELP AVAILABLE WHEN YOU GET READY,BUT UNTIL THEN REMEMBER.......... YOU ARE 25 YEARS OLD. THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR INDIVIDUALS YOUR AGE, YOU CAN STOP, AND GET HELP............SURRENDER IS THE KEY TO UNLOCK YOUR DISEASED THINKING.............. MAY THE GOD OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING TAKE CARE OF US ALL. CONNECTICUT.

no, you are not weak, but if you continue on this path, you need to know where it will lead. You need to realize the danger that you are putting yourself in every time you shoot that stuff. life is about so much more than is in that needle
