Got a year today

Cocaine is a hell of a drug, especially when you smoke that shit. Getting clean was the best decision I’ve ever made and I’m so happy to be where I am today. I don’t have anyone to talk about this with in real life, but I’m proud of myself and I want someone to know haha.

Thanks :) the past couple of months haven’t been very hard but the initial quitting process was probably the worst thing I’ve experienced.

Thanks. I never would’ve been able to do it if I hadn’t spent last winter living alone in the mountains 4 hours from my connect tbh

Wow dude. That must have been the most hard, but also enlightening time! I'm very proud of you! :)

I smoked a lot of cbd-heavy hash oil when the cravings got bad and it was massively helpful. I ran out twice, and it was indescribable. Like feeling every emotion at once but all focused on your desire to get high.

Congratulations! It’s always good to hear about someone doing well with their recovery. It takes a lot of work and resilience to get past that period of your life. Proud of you buddy.

Just over a year off of cocaine myself, took felony charges that added up to 8-life for me to make that decision. Keep going I know the cravings still exist

Hope you beat them. You keep it up too :) the cravings still hit me sometimes, and I actually had a dream / nightmare thanksgiving night that I got a bag and cooked a fat spoon. Woke up thinking it was real for like 10 minutes and almost cried

I had to quit all drugs as part of my probation and I have about one nightmare a week where I fuck up and do coke, molly, or smoke weed

Coke is honestly so shit. You made a very good decision.

Congrat-u-fuckin-LATIONS! What you have accomplished here is more than worthy of great pride! Hell, I don't even know you and I'm proud as hell! Keep it up man! I know you can do it!

Side note: Anyone else click this thread fully expecting it to be about a redditor getting a year in... the bad way? (In jail). Was so relieved to see that it was just the opposite of what I had been preparing myself for reading in sadness!

Just curious what the difference in effect is when smoking vs snorting?? I’ve only ever snorted

1
Jasurius•

When you snort it the drug is absorbed slowly as your nasal membranes can only handle so much. This is what makes it last as long as it does when you snort it.

When you freebase coke and smoke it you are absorbing it all instantly. Thus it wears off much quicker and you want more very quickly. Not good for someone who is easily addicted.

Great work! You should celebrate....with some cocaine!!! 🎊

broffOP•

Haha. Celebrating quitting coke does raise the conundrum of how to celebrate, I know

Can’t tell if this is a joke or not but you prolly shouldn’t even give an ex addict the idea of using the drug they’ve been so addicted to.

You’re right, but if I could be swayed to relapse by internet comments, I never would’ve had a year haha. Some asshole like genuinely wanted me to relapse last time I posted about it
