When people use cocaine they tend to sit up all night until they have consumed all of it. It is the one big symptom of cocaine that is hard to ignore. With a large supply on hand, the one night-er can stretch into many days. However this is found to be true only with pure cocaine. Users of cocaine tend to use until they have comsumed all that is on hand. With cocaine which has been 'cut' many times, it is not as strong and they tend to get a little sleep. Cocaine, although very addictive and though the addiction is said to be lifelong, has a much higher success rate of recovery as compared to crystal meth. The success rate of recovery for crystal meth is about 8 percent even with the strongest interventions. Cocaine use becomes particularly dangerous when the person progresses from 'snorting' the drug to smoking it -sometimes in the form of 'crack' and later on to injecting it. Usually when injected, it is at some point in time mixed with heroin by the user. Both heroin and cocaine addiction can be corrected with the proper interventions, but crystal meth addiction usually defeats most people regardless of their willingness to try to overcome it.
