Is it normal to use cocaine at home?

Hi!

I am a 22 year old student from Holland, I live with my girlfriend for a couple of years now, and I am generally pretty satisfied and happy with my situation.

Me and my girlfriend used to go out a lot, we got drunk, high and all the works.

However, lately we have been very busy, and since some of our best friends moved away to study in different universities we do not go our a lot anymore. Do not get me wrong, we have a full and fun social life, but clubbing etc. now only happens about every other weekend.

The weekends that we stay in we have actually developed the habit of sitting together and getting high on coke (we used to smoke weed, but it is legal here, and we have been doing that for a very young age, and it just got boring at one point) On such nights we just get high, put on some music and just talk all night (coke does that to a person ;) ).

Although we really enjoy ourselves we know that it is kind of anti-social to do and even though we know a lot of people that do drugs none of them has the desire to just get high at home. So is it normal to just get high together on coke when just staying at home?

    Nah you're cool man I know loads of dudes that do coke at home who are all perfectley well off, holding down jobs etc. But coke man. Coke's a drug for dicks. If I was you I'd be doing the truffles that are still legal over there ;p

      Coke and weeds a drug for dicks. Now heroin, that's a very hardcore, as-addicting-as-cigarettes drug.

    I don't think its bad that you're doing it at home, but I think doing it every weekend could turn into a serious addiction. You need to cut back or quit. Ive known people who started out doing it only on the weekend only to completely fuck up their lives within about a year and become hardcore addicted.

        You're doing something as lame as cocaine! Are you really that boring that you need a drug like that, to have a good time?!

          I know it's a bad habit, I think I have come to associate it with weekends and stress-release. I do not even have the urge to use it during the week, but on the weekend I always do.

          A lot of people in my environment do it (cause and effect scenario's in this respect are debatable) and I do not feel that the usage itself is a direct problem. The issue is that I am afraid that because I have started using it at home in a 'non-party'related atmosphere I might be entering the danger zone.

            Yeah, you are entering the danger zone, sorry to say.

            When you do drugs at parties, that is recreational drug use. However, if that drug use becomes habitual (you are doing it every weekend, without skipping a beat) you have a drug habit.

            Once you become a habitual drug user, assuming that you're a reasonable person, you end up worrying about your drug use and coming onto sites like this to ask if it is normal.

            You're not going to ask whether or not what you're doing is normal if you do not feel in some way that there is a possibility that it is abnormal and you are correct. It's not normal and definitely not a good thing to keep doing. You're worried because you know that you're becoming a habitual drug user.

            Consider this your first warning sign. Quit while you still have enough sanity left to realize that you're partaking in a potentially life-wrecking habit.

            A "functioning druggie" (a term many people confuse) knows to stop/slow down at the signs of trouble. Occasional recreational drug use is fine but once it gets habitual and you do nothing about it, you're fucked.

              Indeed a very legitimate view on the matter. It is very difficult for me to assess when and if my drug use is habitual or merely recreational. You are right though that actually being worried should already be a sign..

              I have been using this particular drug for years now, and I have always been able to maintain steady and relatively 'safe' boundaries.

              I have been cutting down significantly on my usage, and I do feel better about myself (and my bank-account). My girlfriend has stopped using altogether, which naturally is a big help because it decreases the incentive for me.

              I still have the problem that whenever I go out, I go by car since I live relatively far from my friends and the city center, and I feel that my girlfriend should not have to take public transport when going out. This has proven to be a difficult situation, since I naturally do not drink when driving but do feel like letting loose. This situation still often leads to me using drugs after getting home, since when I start i find it difficult to stop.

    You should stop doing it. My friends gone/going through hell with his coke addiction. It ruined his life and made him betray his friends in favour of coke.

    Do MDMA instead! Feel the love ;P haha

    The best place to do drugs is probably in the "safety" of your home.

    Weed is one thing, anything else done more than once or twice a year looks really bad and puts you at risk of being a low life burnout.

    I would like to thank NeuroNeptunian for taking it seriously, and actually you are right, the fact that I am asking this on this website is actually a pretty big warning sign that I myself even feel that what I am doing is not normal at all.

    I can afford it, and I do feel I have enough self-control to be able to manage my usage (I do not smoke, drink excessive amounts of alcohol,coffee, or involve myself in any behavior that could be described as addicting)

    However, like you and some other suggested it is indeed a dangerous thing that I am doing. I guess I am just trying to figure out what the 'limit' is. I do feel I am close to making it a habit, rather than an outlet.

    I blew lines of cocaine for at least 5 years on the weekend, and I did it by myself many times. I didnt think it was that big a deal. Cocaine just takes some self control, the ones that dont have self control are the ones who end up with addiction problems. All it takes is a lil self control kids.

    Anybody who judges you on it is just a jerkoff.

    Bro It's not normal to use cocaine and it is even less normal to brag and be proud of it. Stop using cocaine you will regret it in the future

    It's normal if you hate yourself and think very poorly of your own abilities. Also normal if you're in a very poor relationship that's either on the verge of destructing or is based on crippling co-dependency.

    If you have a healthy grasp of life, cocaine use isn't normal no matter where you do it. Most people consider themselves better than a highly damaging illegal drug.

      I would never deny that cocaine is a highly addictive and toxic drug. Even though I do not believe that a person is likely to get physically addicted to this drug, the short yet intense effect combined with the relatively high price creates a dangerous situation.

      I myself do not consider my own or any other person's cocaine habit normal or responsible. However, I do think that a recreational habit can be very manageable and less dangerous than excessive alcohol consumption.

      However, I have had a very active social life during the period (several years now) I have been using cocaine, which seemed to have hidden my personal craving somewhat because I was surrounded by friends who were even more into it than I was.

      I have recently moved and due to a heightened work-load I often stay at home during the weekends. This did not only result in a positive situation in which I was motivated to cut-down on my usage (from every weekend to only twice a month) because of the lack of incentives, but it has also gotten me into a habit that involves me using the drugs on these pre-set weekends even when I am not actually going out. I do still enjoy it a lot, and do not directly feel guilty when doing it, but I was just curious that even though cocaine is always associated with a social situation it could still be normal that I get the same joy out of doing it while not being in such an environment.

      The end.
