narcoslepsy
(noun, slang)
Pronounced: narcos-lepsy /ˈnɑ r.kəʊsˌlɛp.si/
A condition of the soul. When someone’s off the drugs, out of the game, but the game is never out of them. They look chill, reformed, even clean — but deep down, they’re wired for the hustle.
It’s the dormant addiction, the street-coded reflexes, the ghost of their past life whispering, “Just one more.”
