Is it normal to do drugs like this.
I started smoking cigarettes and drinking when I was 13, and smoking pot at 14. When I was 15 I was hanging out with an older croud constantly smoking blunts and doing beer funnels or steel reserve 40's. My socialization revolves around smoking pot/drinking.
A little after I turned 18 my cat was sick and dying. Because I has just "become an adult" it was totally my decision what to do with my 4 year old-sick-dying cat. The stress of the situation and the recent introduction to cocaine caused me to go on a week long coke binge. My grandmother (who remarried to her high school sweetheart turned millionaire doctor) feeling bad had given me around $800 to pay for my cats medical bills. In maybe 2 weeks I had spent almost all of it on pot and cocaine. Afterwards I felt horrible about doing that to my grandmother/cats medical bill money.
I layed off the coke for a couple months and didn't do it unless offered for free, until I moved out of my parents house and into my own apartment with my connect right down the street.
Over the past few weeks I've noticed a pattern of weekly cocaine use when I get my paycheck. For the most part I'm good about paying rent/bills/etc. My weekly payday routine is to get around $20-$40 of cocaine, a 24-30 pack of bud light and smoke pot.
Is this life style normal?
