Can people occasionally smoke crack cocaine and not be addicted?

I'm a recovering addict and I have never encountered another substance abuser who could control their need for some sort of high. There are some exceptions.. Some addicts can go for days at a time and not consume that all. But, they have a name. We refer to them as binge addicts! They might not get high everyday, but when the opportunity arises is very hard for the addict to just say no. We suffer from a three fold disease :the mind, the body and a spirituality malady! not addict wants to be labeled addict or dope fiend because our society considers the addict weak as well as mentally disturbed. The first time one consumes drugs, he is an addict for life. There is No control of the mind and body need for stimulation.

Answer2: By the very term abuse means a person is already addicted in some way. A person can take drugs, legal or illegal and not become an addict. But once a person takes drugs to the point where the brain and body craves, needs, and depends on the drugs, that's the crossover to being an addict. I read an article that said, they used to be separately called drug abuse and drug addiction, but now the term is drug use disorder also called substance use or chemical use disorder. It's characterized by a destructive pattern of using a substance that leads to significant problems or distress.
