The word "despair" means Loss of hope, hopelessness, to give up

Why do crack addicts continue to use crack day after day knowing that nothing good ever comes from it?

Three words come to mind: Instant, Gratification, Selfish

Once that first taste of crack cocaine is taken and the instant rush of gratification hits the pleasure receptors of the brain and the brain tells you, WOW.... I can feel completely and INSTANTLY gratified and I don't have to watch Dr.Phil, take anti depressants, or even take a vacation to get it!

Then the selfishness takes over....all I care about is ME!!! and I want to feel this way as often as possible.

Then, the consequences....... loss of self control, loss of motivation for anything but crack, loss of job, reputation, respect, integrity, and the list goes on and on.....and it will not end until death finds you comfortable in your crack induced paranoia.

There is no happy ending, there never will be a happy ending.... crack will take everything . (period) and leave you wondering why you ever tried it in the first place....how YOU could have ever allowed it to take your soul.... and will haunt you even when you decide to throw it away.

Active crack addiction is a hopeless endeavour.....no matter how hard one tries to live anything resembling a real life while using crack is IMPOSSIBLE and always will be...

The only hope, is STOP...forever....then begin to clean up the trail of despair left in the wake of your selfish indulgence.
