Mood Disturbances
Many cocaine addicts develop a high tolerance for the use of cocaine with continued use of the drug. Seeking the high that was involved with the first use of cocaine is common among cocaine addicts. The reality of drug addiction is that this high will never be felt again and some addicts chase this for years causing them to lose everything.
Withdrawal
For years people have been becoming dependent on cocaine. This dependence (although not always known to the abuser) is in fact a physical dependence. When the abuser makes the decision to be released from the binds of cocaine abuse they must undertake this process of cocaine withdrawal. This can be painful but the end result is freedom from cocaine abuse.
The cocaine withdrawal begins as soon as the person puts down the cocaine for just one day. The beginning of the withdrawal procedure is the hardest. The cocaine user will automatically want to put more of the drug in their system. The body will tell the mind that cocaine is needed. This physiological communication will flip the switch of obsession back on. The obsession will begin the search for more and more of the drug. This stage will occur within the first week of cocaine withdrawal. After the first week of cocaine withdrawal the body will have released the communication with the mind. The body will no longer need the cocaine. Unfortunately the abuser will not know this mentally and will still search for more.
