I was a meth addict but I can relate. I've been there, pretending to sleep next to my misses, trying to lay still and just waiting for time to pass. That shit is maddening. Also, in the beginning, I would stay up for 4-5 days, and just go about my day, go to work, hang out with friends and family. After a while though, it changes, your mind set changes. When it see that sun coming up, id just be like: oh no, I've done it again. I wouldn't go out because it just feel so down on myself, and going out in public just makes you feel like a junkie piece of shit. So, I'd just do more meth, wander around the house all day and mentally and emotionally beat myself up.

Wavin at me n shit. Then, THEN, *thennnnnn* surely I can have somebody pour drugs down my foodhole.....right?"

Not one Coke high, no matter how good, will ever be worth a coke comedown; that's what I've learned. The comedowns seem to stoop at least as low as you were flying high when you came up and most of the time even lower as you comprehend your shitty choices and the fact that you can't run from them anymore. The inevitability of this feeling ruined Coke for me. Whenever i fantasize about the old days of me doing lines, i sort of mentally fast forward to me laying in my bed in the early morning, covered in a layer of cold sweat and fuzzy, lousy paranoia and listening to the birds. Those fucking birds. Coke is the devil, as Robin Williams said, it's gods way of letting you know you've got too much money.

@@american_alien_1583 damn I'm scared because for me it's the perfect drug. I can limit myself to 4 small lines a day, my golden ratio to not get a comedown. For me it lasts about 45 minutes to an hour though so maybe I'm just lucky. I also only use it to do work cause I like to slack off and do everything in a few hours, and I never got the urge to redose on a comedown because I just feel like even if I do another line I'll just feel like shit in 45 minutes instead of now and I wanna sleep anyways. Is this normal when starting coke?

Too fucking right brother. Where I live it's woodpigeons.

I don't subscribe to any religious doctrine, there is no devil to me. There is no blame to be laid at the feet of my parents. It's only when one understands that the rot in one's soul belongs to him and him alone that actual change can foment. Coke will turn you into the biggest piece of shit imaginable. Maybe not objectively, perhaps not in the grand scheme. But you will become the most outrageous rejection of your own, personal morality, regardless of what that may be. No other drug will do this. It is impossible to function on a day to day level with any other drug...you cannot drink a bottle of vodka, shoot up, drop a pill, smoke a joint, do a microdot etc and still act 'normal' to everyone else. The worst thing about coke is how shitty it is as a drug. If it actually did anything of note, no-one would become an addict. And that's the worst part...knowing you are fucking yourself for something so utterly pathetic. It's like being in love with a slut.

I'm happy for those who can get clean no matter how you get there. But joey is candid about the grit and the darkness of addiction. As soon as someone preaches to me about too much positivity... i disassociate and detach from the conversation. I might smile and nod but i check out. Hearing his co stars talk about not being able to relate... its part of why i have a hard time listening to others and talking about it myself. Joey is an inspiration to me in a weird way.

Still went to bed and went to work next day but wasn't great. Now I do it maybe 2 times a year. I can easily grab a bit, do it one night and go back to nothing after. Usually because as soon as I get that shit feeling I remember why I hate it. Funny enough I'll still do it again 5 or 6 months later. It's the damnest thing. It's pretty crappy these days though and as I'm getting older I know less and less places to get it so eventually it'll be never. I hope anyone who is under It's control can break free of it one day.

Someone to talk to who actually cares is the best medication you could have

[@oxic88]

I luckily had my now wife help me out of that dark place. I took us both through hell and back. But you nailed it when you mentioned someone to talk to. I was very high functioning which made it hard for me to admit I had a serious problem. My wife convinced somehow me to talk a professional and it saved my life. If anyone out there is struggling with addiction, please seek out some professional therapy. And if you don’t vibe with the first therapist, don’t give up. Find someone else. And then someone else. And then someone else, until you find the right fucking person to help you. I promise you’re not beyond help!
