Unfortunately, the probability of relapse in addicts and alcoholics is around 90%, from what I've been told.
Instead of focusing on that, though, focus on your recovery.

It depends on a few things, such as: How long you've been off, Are you in a recovery program, such as NA? Are you still hanging around the dealers house? Associating with the people who still get high? Are you serious about stopping? How many times have you tried to quit? Crack is extremely addicting. I suggest NA, if your'e not there yet. You'll find other people there that can relate to your situation, and being around sober people will help you stay away from those who aren't. Unless you make a drastic lifestyle change, the chance of relapse is really high.

You are well aware of the answer and I am very sorry to say this but the probability of relapse is quite high. Thus for those of you who are considering using cocaine consider avoiding it. And for those of you who use cocaine consider stopping it. And for both groups as well as the person asking the question I believe that faith in God provides the best success and security.

3rd time's a charm. If it's not your 3rd time conscientiously quitting, then I would say you have a good chance of relapsing.
