It is an up and down roller coaster ride of feelings when you are addicted to cocaine. If you depend on it to function, you are addicted! You feel empty inside. You can run around with friends, or even run with a multitude of people, and still feel lonely and empty. When you are up, you feel like you can do anything, and when you are down, you feel worthless, empty and wondering if life is really worth living.
At those times of feeling worthless, you realize your life is going downhill and you feel that you are helpless to get out by yourself. So you naturally do it again, trying to drown out those feelings. At this point it becomes a nightmare.
There are a multitude of reasons why one starts using cocaine. But it all boils down to trying to fill that emptiness and loneliness that you feel. When you are high, it blots out that empty feeling for awhile. Yet when that high wears off, you feel empty again and it is usually worse. This emptiness is what inspires you to do it again. This becomes the roller coaster of feeling good – and the crash and burn after. The addiction nightmare!
