Cocaine has ruined my life

damn dude. addiction is a bitch.

unfortunately, addiction seems to be a personality trait, at least in my experience. it’s why some people can do drugs recreationally their whole lives without getting hooked and others need to constantly push it further and further til they lost control of their lives.

best advice i can give is get the help you need, and stay clean for at least 2 full years before touching even so much as a beer (if you even feel so inclined to do that)

2 of my best friends were addicts, however they were addicted to heroin. both got clean and live normal lives now. it took them about 2-3 years before they got comfortable enough to socially drink again. neither of them have touched the shit in 6+ years now.

BUT, both of them are definitely addicts. there have been times in our circles where coke or molly was available and if they get a taste, they keep going at it all night. super hard. til it all runs out.

one time i had about 7 grams of blow in my pocket sleeping over my recovered* addict’s friend and he went through my pants and did all of it by the time i woke up.

that’s the biggest difference between casual users and addicts, i think.

people like me can do a half gram or less, call it quits, and go to sleep at a reasonable time. addicts don’t stop til either the blow or the money runs out.
