I was heavily addicted to cocaine for about a year and a half before I got sober, AMA

r/

I Just wanted to offer my authentic thoughts, opinions, and experiences to anyone who might be curious or anyone currently struggling with addiction.

As well as offer any insight or advice that I can to those who are struggling and might want it.

Just for disclaimer I am in no way an expert, nor do I have any kind of miracle advice that will 100% work. Just an average dude who is a lifelong addict.

I can answers questions for a bit now, but if I don’t get to them right away I will answer later on in the night or when I can.

    How much did you take per day? And how did you buy so much?

    When you say “heavily addicted” what did your average daily usage look like?

    What is a “high” on cocaine like?

    How did it started? And how hard it was to get sober?

    I’ve done cocaine. I love it. But I can’t do it regularly because it shreds my throat. My sinuses get so inflamed and the post nasal drip gives me a terrible sore throat most of the time the next day. For those reasons, addiction just wouldn’t be in the cards for me. Does that just not happen to you? Or have you found a way to mitigate those side effects.

    Did the price per quantity change or is cocaine immune to inflation?

    What are the long term effects?

    When did you realise you’d crossed the point of recreational use and accepted it as a full blown addiction?

    What made you decide to stop? Was it an ah-ha moment or the result of some great consequence happening?

    I have a 10g per week habit and I am keen to quit. What strategies did you use to get over this?

    Did you ever masturbate while high? Was that a thing?

    So in my early twenties I was a big fan of the Bolivian Marching Powder, but it was always more of an “accessory to alcohol” meaning it was only something I would partake in while drinking heavily, to continue drinking. I still got a high from it but it was more or less to not pass out and bring me back to square one when I was out at the bars. Were you drinking as you were using or were you doing it without alcohol? I did it, I think once without any alcohol in my system and it was an awful experience.

    No questions but congrats on getting clean.

    Right now I’m at the stage where I’ll get drunk on the weekend, order a 1g bag to the bar and maybe split it with a buddy.

    The problem is I’m a complete mental and physical disaster for 3 days after and it’s fucking up my fitness and productivity. I basically lay in bed and go through an existential depression with sporadic anxiety attacks for like 3 days after doing only half a g.

    How much do you think you spent total on cocaine throughout the year and a half?

    Just wanted to say congratulations, I fully sympathize with your struggle and am proud of you for making the change. I’m currently 22 days out of a 9 month bender, starting to pick up the pieces. Just turned 21, hoping to never have to go down that road again.

    Wwre you wasting all of it up your nose and in your mouth?

    Or did you actually slam some and ride the lightning

  24. Horror-Music-233 Avatar

    As someone who also has gone down that road, have you had trouble with relapse, and what did you do differently when you decided to stay sober? Congratulations by the way in your accomplishments

    How much weight did you loose?

    How did you cope with a grief of quitting?

    I’m a recovering nicotine addict/alcoholic. The constant pit of depression the withdrawal makes you feel, coupled with the knowledge that one hit could make you feel way better, coupled with the knowledge that you can never do it again. It’s a lot.

    How do you make it through those days?

    Some of my “friends” say they dive into another world when they take cocaine. Is that true in your case as well?

    How did you forgive yourself? I ask as I am struggling with self forgiveness for a different issue.

    Do you think Zelensky is a coke addict? Some say he is the way he moves around/twitches when in public.
