How might a friend with cocaine addiction be feeling day to day

[Peanutbutteryday]

I have a friend I guess who I have been in their life for a few years. We’re fairly close in some regards, but I also keep my distance a bit for obvious reasons. He lies and his life is chaotic. However we do get on and I do listen to him when he needs it. He’s very different on a Tuesday vs a weekend. Obviously he goes awol sometimes. I don’t know how often he does cocaine but it’s maybe near enough daily. He doesn’t have a job. Just wondering if anyone is able to articulate how he might be feeling or is it impossible? He obviously has a front up. Some days he sounds like he has hopes and dreams, other days he sounds completely hopeless. I don’t think he’d anywhere near being able to think about stopping but he does seem miserable sometimes and talks about expecting to be dead in a year etc.
hope this isn’t rude to ask

How does he afford his habit if he isn't working?

basically buzzing when hes riding the high, then its back to reality,

No idea @RampantIvy

I guess he only comes out when he is feeling ok? The odd time he’s said he’s been all day feeling depressed

addiction is a series of highs and lows; the lows encompass desperation, lies, depression, even theft and violence. Highs include hysteria, happiness, love, euphoria.

He will likely be happier as the weekend approaches because its not long until he can use (or use more) or go out to a pub/club/party and socialise with other users. He probably looks forward to it very much and cant think about much else. During the weekend or a binge he will probably be on an up, feeling euphoric, blissful, like these people who he is hanging out with are the best people he could ever meet.

After the weekend, or on a comedown, he will crash and his mood will take him to the pits of hell, feeling hopeless, sad, in despair.

And then the cycle repeats.

Thank you. I only hear from him mid week
