Brief Answer:
I think it can be stopped with little motivation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
From the available description, there is no evidence of dependence. Occasional use (once in a month) is considered as abuse and with strong motivation, you can get rid of it permanently.
I must inform you that for occasional users medications are not required and only motivation and talk therapy are enough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In my opinion lack of motivation and strong will power is possible cause. For increasing these two important components take a diary and write down the reasons for which you want to discontinue crack.
This will help you to reason out and to keep your motivation at higher level.
