Do I Have an Addiction?
Question by LoveTheSkinUrIn: Do I have an addiction?
[rewrite]So In the past 3 years I have only done cocaine about 5-7 times… each time being a good amount. I havent done any since last july but every now and then I still get cravings. Its like I dont want the cravings to go away because deep down if I were offered it again I’d probably do it.. but at the same time I know its wrong and against all christian morals and I want to be good so I want to know how to make the cravings go away. I thought you had to do cocaine hard for years and alot to be addicted so I dont know if I am considered addicted or not but I do have cravings and I want them to stop.. Any suggestions? Please?
I havent done it in a over a year but I find myself thinking about it alot. and when I did do it, it didnt interfere with anything because it was so random when I did.. and Ive never paid for it nor do I have any money to pay for it now.. but I think about it alot knowing that I should never do it again but I know if somehow it was there in front of me I might do it.. so since Im not considered an addict what the heck do I do to make my cravings go away?
I also never go to parties.. and I have very few friends right now because I chose to only be around “true friends” I just want some kind of trick or some meditation thing to make my cravings go away so I wont want to do it again.

Bless you for reaching out for help. Please take the next footstep and look into getting either inpatient (residential) treatment or outpatient counseling. Inpatient treatment has a lot more structure than an outpatient program.
This site may have some local treatment centers for those with a substance abuse problem(s), and some may have financial (money) assistance for those without health insurance: http://dasis3.samhsa.gov and can click one’s state of residence on the map and continue with the search.

Marinol is the brand name for the generic drug called dronabinol. It is a man-made form of THC. It was made available to patients (with prescriptions from their doctors) in 1986. It has primarily been used as an anti-nausea drug for chemotherapy patients. It is also approved for the treatment of wasting syndrome associated with HIV/AIDS.
