hello
I am no professional either however my husband is a crack addict. He doesnt fit the "picture" of a crack addict yet hes struggles with it for many many years.
The longest amount of time away from the drug, for him, was 10 years. Then 3 years ago he used again. In the last 3 years the longest amount of time he stayed clean was just under 6 months.
He isnt a daily user, it is like you were saying........... binge for a night~~at different intervales but that NIGHT is devastating to him, and to our family.
Welcome to SR sorry for the reasons that brought you here.
The areas at the top of each forum has "Stickys" theres alot of good information there.
