Do I Have an Addiction?

Question by LoveTheSkinUrIn: Do I have an addiction?
[rewrite]So In the past 3 years I have only done cocaine about 5-7 times… each time being a good amount. I havent done any since last july but every now and then I still get cravings. Its like I dont want the cravings to go away because deep down if I were offered it again I’d probably do it.. but at the same time I know its wrong and against all christian morals and I want to be good so I want to know how to make the cravings go away. I thought you had to do cocaine hard for years and alot to be addicted so I dont know if I am considered addicted or not but I do have cravings and I want them to stop.. Any suggestions? Please?
I havent done it in a over a year but I find myself thinking about it alot. and when I did do it, it didnt interfere with anything because it was so random when I did.. and Ive never paid for it nor do I have any money to pay for it now.. but I think about it alot knowing that I should never do it again but I know if somehow it was there in front of me I might do it.. so since Im not considered an addict what the heck do I do to make my cravings go away?
I also never go to parties.. and I have very few friends right now because I chose to only be around “true friends” I just want some kind of trick or some meditation thing to make my cravings go away so I wont want to do it again.
