As cocaine interferes with the way the brain processes chemicals, one needs more and more of the drug just to feel “normal.” People who become addicted to cocaine (as with most other drugs) lose interest in life. Coming down from the drug causes severe depression, which becomes deeper and deeper after each use. This can get so severe that a person will do almost anything to get the drug — even commit murder. And if he or she can’t get cocaine, the depression can get so intense it can drive the addict to suicide.
Find out the truth about cocaine. The free booklet, “The Truth about Cocaine” (available on the drugfreeworld.org website) describes this drug, once the favorite of corporate executives and entertainment personalities, now a deadly street killer.
If a person is drunk and exhibits a common behaviour that is found in many people under the influence of alcohol, then is “dry” for a period of time and experiences normal human mood fluxuations, why does Alcoholics Anonymous say he is on a “dry drunk”? Seems to me like it is a no win situation within the AA doctrine. What is going on here and is it healthy to make such comments to people trying to abstain from alcohol and other drugs?
