Sniffyguy, hello mate.... You sound a lot like me, my main three vices were weed (daily), drink and cocaine weekly and gambling 247..... Yes you are a functional addict however it sounds like this isn't under control... You maybe keep coming back because you do want to stop, however your Av (addction voice) agrues its okay.... You have to make the choice, however life has more to offer than feeding our addictions... After 11 years selfishly and blindley feeding my addictions I'm now 8 weeks clean from everything and my life has improved immeasurably.... I wish you all the luck.... Check out my post in a seperate thread in terms of 'do I have this under control'.... I'll copy link below

If you find yourself flirting with quitting but haven't been able to stop, then it might be a problem.
However, with that said,
Is snorting cocaine bad? Sure it is--Its cut with a variety of nasty chemicals(like levamisole) and other odd things (laxatives)and can be highly addictive.
Can some people handle it? Again, I'd say yes (but of course I wouldn't recommend trying it to find out)
We fall into different categories. There are users, abusers, and addicts. I know people whom use recreationally and do just fine with it--they can sniff a bit on a holiday or at a party and then return to normal (similar to the social drinker). But then others (like myself) don't fare so well, lol.
The lines between these categories can get blurry but they do exist.
If its causing problems for you/your life, quit.
Try this out: You say that you have a "blow out" every few weeks--instead of having that next blow-out, skip it and try going several months without it. If you have any difficulties with abstaining, then you've probably got a drug problem imo.
