I was doing cocaine and drinking alcohol EVERYDAY. August 2022 I spent over 20k on coke. I knew I had to change. Started going to AA meetings and I stopped drinking and doing blow and have started running. I’ll be running my first marathon December 2023. I’m very proud of myself. Anyone struggling with addiction I urge you to seek help.
Good job brother
👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽Awesome
Making yourself proud of yourself...
That's a pretty good goal.
Never thought about it that way.
That's impossible. 20 000$ is about 300grams or even much more, a person can only take about 5gr/day or 150gr/month.
Keep running 🏃♀️
Sign they’re addicted to coke…they say “hey let’s go get some coke”. Makes sense.
lol

Truth to Powder
😂😂😂😂
cocaine is one helluva drug - Rick James
You forgot to mention the constant lying. Lying is the biggest sign.
you ain’t lying
True. Addictions demand that you lie, steal and die for them.
That's bullshit. I lie all the time and I don't even do that shit.
Yeah coke seems to make liars of people
Yes, and when they quit using...they never stop the lying which has become 'shave a little off the truth, just in case.'
I'm convinced that my former manager is a coke addict. He never slept. He has unlimited energy and he also has crazy mood swings.
Probably meth or aderall
Perhaps he has bipolar disorder
The biggest coke users I met were musicians and bankers, none of them were broke, far from it
i know a guy whos in his 60's, super chill, we played in his garage, he was good at drums and im a guitarist and the guy was on coke for sure. coke and booze. i mean you could see the coke and smell the booze. either way, fun time. marijuana is also common in musicians and in general.
And bartenders💯
My ex gf, she's broke and a slut for coke
A lot of coke addicts not only have the money to fund their habit they know when to say when. Can’t be successful sleeping at 5 am all the time
Wall streeters are wayyy worse 😂 also ceo’s, chefs, models , 99% of Hollywood, bartenders… just to name a few
"I don't do coke. I just really, really like the way it smells" 🤣

youre so original.
Funny guy eh
Lol

Coke is so much more prevalent than most people want to believe.
2 weeks sober today man never felt so good I’m 26 and this drug has had a hold on me for too long now it’s deffo my time to turn it round, I’ve had to move back with parents while I get clean
So happy you made this choice so young. Took me a long time to figure that out. For now, approach each day as the only day there will ever be. Be present. Observe. Feel. Be proud. You accomplished something huge! Good work, bud! Keep strong. We got your back.
Be honest did you relapse?
Keep going!!
Here's the thing. I live alone and make good money. I believe I also have an addictive personality. It's been like .....🤔🤔🤔 4 months since I've done coke, and not because of an addiction, but because the science behind cocaine is that it's a Nootropic. It stimulates the mind and works for you even after the effects have worn off. However, abusing cocaine, is no longer a Nootropic. At wich point, you're using so much, it burns out your synapse. Thus, rendering you unable to produce normal amounts of happy chemicals. I'm not condoning the use of cocaine, but at the same time, when you go through your bills and realize "Hmm, I don't have enough to party today, I'd rather have a house" that's when you know you can walk away at any given time and come back for a Friday night of fun. Your best bet is to stay off of it completely.
@@djstatyk1540 so true mate It was either my house or my addiction I chose my house which I had saved up for living on the streets was enough for me to kick the habbit

My years as a musician taught me this skill. Anyone putting their money up their nose will never blow their nose and waste it. Just hand them a tissue, they will always refuse it, if they're putting their money up their nose.
Some people are just shy blowing their nose in public...
I was a coke addict for a few years in my mid 20's. I was actually very functional for a couple years despite heavy use. Nobody outside of my drug friends knew. I never did it at work, but it did get to the point where I was buying my bags on my lunch break at work so that I could have it ready when I got home. Early signs of a serious problem. What led me to my downward spiral though, was when I was introduced to Xanax, which solved the problem of not being able to sleep after a coke binge. This ultimately led to a veryyy quick spiral as Xanax completely destroys a person and their self awareness. People DID know that I was on Xanax, even though I was 1000% blind to it. My life fell to shambles within a couple months, and I ultimately stopped doing drugs nearly 4 years ago now. Life is good now, but coke addiction can be a very invisible problem and hard to spot.
Its funny we have the same exact story. I am so ashamed of myself for what i did under the influence of coke and xanax. Its been a couple years and i still cringe about it
Stay strong brother god bless
Pretty similar Story here. Very funktional, no use at work only after. But always having the problem to sleep ended in a Benzo addiction, which destroyed me completely within a few years. Still not able to work yet, fortunately I am well-insured.
I need to point out, though, that it was mostly the Benzos that made me unfit for work and created a lasting Problem: the Coke addiction is gone, but the Benzo addiction is much harder to Beat.
@christophfolberth304 I'm so sorry you are going through that! Benzo dependence is terrifying and it takes your body a long time to rebuild the Gaba receptors that are damaged/altered. I had a family member go through it and I could tell she was going through hell. However she made a full recovery in time and you will too! Hang in there!
My cousin killed herself over cocaine. Literally. She was facing jail time for embezzlement. She wrote that it wasn’t jail that bothered her, it was the thought of being able to live without coke. Because of her, I refused to even try that s%#^. Terrible, life-taking drug. We had no idea. She appeared the same as ever.
I started doing drugs since my teenage, got addicted to cocaine. Spent my whole life fighting cocaine addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Yes Dr.benshrooms
How do I reach out to him? Is he on insta
Yes he's Dr.benshrooms. Shrooms to me is a natrual healer. I know a guy who has used mushrooms in the same way and they have really helped him. mah dudes have safe trips all.
I wish they were readily available in my place. Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac. He's constantly talking about killing someone. He's violent. Anyone reading this Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
Hey that last thing you said. Nothing like being high in life. That’s true man. Had a homie I called during work and he said “damn what you high on, that white” I said nah I’m sober honestly. He’s like damn you high on life, best feeling… he’s like I like you better sober. Cuz I go hard I stay up for days and we’ll God first I get clean
If someone talks about coke and it's not negative, they do it. Damn drug destroys people's personalities
I talk about cocaine sometimes with friends i didn't took cocaine even one time😂
In the 70's and 80's it was fun. But now 40 years later I can still feel the feeling of " impending doom' . Ugh
You probably had the best stuff back then.... not sure how they made it back then but I watched a documentary recently saying the Columbians steal gasoline from the pipelines to soak the leaves in it.... I'm like, no wonder why it's so toxic!
Can you explain what that is a little more
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.

I only tried it a handful of times in my life, but had a couple of friends get really into it. One of them quit drinking, got his life back together, grew his business, looked great.. then all of a sudden he let me know he was checking himself into rehab for coke. That was a shock. No one knew. We all attributed his new found weight loss and success to quitting drinking.
@@tobecon007He was successful because of the Coke i guess xD
Brother in law's brother, has ruined his life over the last few years due to coke and alcohol.
I very rarely see the guy, but hearing of the turmoil and nonsense he has put his parents through, his brother through, his ex-wife through and his children, is just heart breakening.
Where has all the Good Coke gone ? Damn!!!
@@tonyrobertson9452it's in Nevada. Straight fishscales 80 - 95 percent pure
It isn’t like the 80s coke,these days you don’t know what’s in it.
I hear that a lot. Was it more clean in the 80s? I hear the Colombians had a better reputation for quality control. Mexican cartels are cutting it pre brick
@@pcptaker45 back in the day it was made with ether and more pure. Now there's gasoline and acetone in it.
I noticed that people on coke talk a lot, a LOT! They’re a train of words, no listening is going on, just talking. And yes, High and shallow breathing is another one, as if they’re out of breath all the time
New users.... after a while it doesn't make you so talkative.
I know someone who says they have been clean for 2 years now but makes jokes about it etc. No runny nose but it makes me think his brain is still wired to his past addiction. I’ve never done coke because my parents did a lot of drugs and I learned at a very young age to keep away from certain things. I wish everyone here much love and hope to you.
Twisted humor is all we have left, the people that are sober and made peace with never using again will definitely joke about it, especially around people we are comfortable with.
Good for you. 👍🏻
Eh it’s a thing we do even if we’re clean we’ll make jokes about drugs, especially earlier on in recovery. Our brains are wired to want and think about drugs at all times- of course jokes about them will slip out! Just imagine how many don’t lol
I was addicted to coke at the turn of the century. Fortunately I ran out of money & also found new hope in my life when I met my 2nd wife. Without her, I'd have stumbled from one drug to another finance dictated.
10 months clean today. I used to miss it but now I’m so happy I want no part of it. Stay strong! Great video!

They start hanging around random people, they are always late for work, random mood swings
I love your videos, i am so proud of you. I am 1 year sober with snorting. These videos help me alot. I hope they also help you. stay strong! Love
I somehow lived my entire life oblivious to coke. Everyone was always rubbing their nose and sniffing when talking about a former coworker, and when I asked "what's up with the sniffles?" they laughed and asked me how I could possibly not have noticed. I guess it's because I've always suffered wicked allergies too.
This dude coked out rn
Yeah I got crap allergies and always sniffling but never knew it was also a coke sign
@@kevo300 Allergies.
Thank you for sharing this because people say it's so obvious but for someone who doesn't know it is not so obvious.
1000%.
I have ZERO experience with it personally- and zero desire to try it. I'm actually afraid it would explode my heart.
Anyhow -- I lived with a partner who used.. I could never tell. 😞
This is a good video. I like that you talk about this addiction bc if I remember correctly, you don’t hear that much on coke Addiction than the others like meth, heroin etc… but I was a coke addict for Atleast 2 years… I have been clean for a few years now..
Great video. Thanks for sharing your insights.
Although I admit I'm a regular marijuana user, I never tried coke. I saw acquaintances using it on parties a few times, and their behavior noticeably transformed. Normal behavior turned into loud, obnoxious and (sexually) provocative behavior. Not something I wanted to experience.
I’m a daily pot smoker. I’ve done coke three times in my life and I never liked it. Also I’m not rich enough to afford a coke habit 🤣
@@SimRacingVeteranI did coke maybe twice but I took an absolutely tiny line. I just wasn’t interested but I was young and you know what it’s like when someone offers you it. Anyway, I took such a small amount that it didn’t do anything to me. I remember throat and mouth felt bit numb but no effect of the drug. Saying that, it was a half gram and they cut it with some other shit and I wouldn’t be surprised if half a gram of coke, had as little as 0.1 of actual coke and 0.4 of the cut. I know if never try it again. I just have no interest. Not only that but I’m bit dependant on weed, as pathetic as it sounds. I have health issues and weed helps relax a bit and helps a little with sleep. I’m sitting here now , desperately wanting a spliff but I’m trying to hold out wnd get back to 1 spliff a day before bed but it’s so bloody hard. To be honest , I think I’m more craving the nicotine but I’m sitting here vaping and still need a spliff and same if I smoke a cigarette. It’s just so fucking annoying. I crave weed all the time, especially after eating food. Getting back to 1 spliff a day just seems impossible for me.
In sobriety it has never ceased to amaze me how many people faced cocaine and alcohol addiction how i did. I still cant pin how exactly that combination in particular just completely took control of my life. Staying up until 8 in the morning riding that roller coaster going up and down in total pain and suffering feeling like theres no way out of it and so you just keep going. Its so lonely and as time goes on you wake up one day and find no one around you yet the party goes on and youre the only one at that party.
Dude, I definitely know that feeling. When I got into AA a few years ago (not in it anymore), I realized that my drinking and partying felt like me walking down a long, dark road into a dark abyss. It's literally a vision of me walking down an empty street at night in a completely abandoned city with some ghost-town city lights flickering and hanging off by a thread, nobody around, all buildings vacant, some trash blowing off in the distance and I'm just walking down this street all by myself and it doesn't stop...maybe the city eventually would come to a stop but the dark and empty road doesn't, it just keeps going. Honestly it's a horrifying feeling every time I think about that, just so sad and scary. Thanks for sharing that man.
@@Jupiter1423alcohol and cocaine actually combine in your body to form a different more potent version of cocaine... Cocaethyline or something
Sounds exactly like my experience. The moment i decided to recover was the moment i realized i was calling the dealer CRYING because i wanted to stop. I’m 11 months sober now, one day at a time
Love your videos man
Happy you made it out and I feel for anyone fighting it. I never touched the stuff but have worked with several coke addicts. The lying, mood swings and stealing were really tough to deal with. It seemed they could never tell how much it changed them or were in heavy denial.
The person you knew and loved before the addiction took over is gone. It is a tragic disease.
So fuckn true. Horrible feeling not knowing what you want or where you going. Complete 360* and your like is it even worth it
Nice one, thank you for this. It's SO addictive. I've weaned myself off, but think about it every day. It helps me to think about the horrible social/political framework, and that I'm no longer investing into that. Cheers.
Literally just broke up with my bf who I found out was using . He relapsed 3 times and then I realized he only cared to be around me when he was “sick” with a runny nose .. diarrhea from trying to quit then going back etc and he the confidence boost ?? He would go from being a really humble person to a really cocky “I don’t care if u leave and if u do you’ll be back” type of Attitude. It’s REALLY hurts when u watch their personality go from change almost as if you’re dealing with 2 different people . I no longer want to be an enabler . I’m out ✌🏾
Sooo many typos but u get the point
This is my exact experience but I cannot simply break up because the heartbreaking disease took hold of the mother of my kids.
now that's a real POS person. Good for you that you cut ties with him, as he would've drag you into his hell, sooner or later.
Addicts don't deserve any attention.
You nailed it. I can relate, only when I was sick with a runny nose and everything else I wouldn't want to be around anyone. I first used at 15 until my mid 30s on and off. Almost everytime would say it's the last time. I knew I was ruining relationships, keeping secrets and hurting myself and my spirit, and actually started having demonic encounters in nightmares that got worse and worse when I'd use. It terrified me, but also led me to God. It's all real. This is a spiritual battlefield for what will be our eternal destiny, and one day I will share my story to a wider audience
@@democratictotalitariansoci1462 what you don't realize is many addicts don't want to he this way. They are enslaved to a drug they know is destroying their lives. They are possessed by it. Everytime I used I'd say it's the last time, and it went on 20 years. I was very functioning and hid it very well. Never stole, never used anyone, but the guilt of carrying a lie when you look your loved ones in the eye when you felt you were gonna die the night before is a horrible burden. Understanding is the key to the light my friend.
Thanks for sharing this. I remember the 80s. Some made it out, some didnt😢
How to tell if someone is a coke addict: "If they're constantly bringing up, "hey, let's go get some cocaine" - thanks for the insight 😂
Honestly it sounds funny but… he’s not wrong.
I was kind of assuming that this was meant to be funny? I got a chuckle out of it.
@@Ascended23😅😂😂 I did too
@@iwritechecksatthegrocerystore😂😂😅 in all seriousness, I can believe it especially if he’s or she’s circle is the drug circle.
As a coke addict only 18 started at 16 these videos from you help me feel less alone :,( if you can get sober I have hope maybe one day so can I.
You will if you try hard enoigh. I’m 25 and never have snorted coke but I’ve tired it in my gums and have used pure MDMA - LSD - Shrooms as well tho n weed is prob the most addicting drug to me tbh bc I’ve never tired coke but I know you can fight this and I recommend honestly taking 2-4 grams of mushrooms or take an acid tab and you can figure it out during the trip how to quit
My friend was addicted and stopped. He used something else less harmful for a while, then stopped that and used something even less harmful, then used a mood stabilizer pill HTP5 instead. So he gradually went from using one thing to another until he quit. If he can do it, trust me, anyone can !
@Ariel Sandoval Nothing on Earth is More Powerful than You Are 🙌🏼💫🙏🏽
I believe that if you're truly ready & had enough... you will make it. You might always be susceptible to falling off the wagon if life beats you up too much,but never stop trying....keep on keeping on.🤩🤩
Kind regards
to you X
Good luck with it - prayers for you
thank you. learned so much. brings a character or 2 in my mind. One is a youtube podcaster I watch. Thanks Eric. you seem like a great guy and sincere. Cheers

Great job ,you are a champ.
This video helped me understand what my kids dad behaviors..so sad, I am really sorry for anyone going thru this or affected by this
Yes ma'am it's a bad pain
American people are so depressing.
Neverrrrrr😭he fumbledddddd
My advice for anyone trying to quit is u gotta avoid the triggers… mine were women, sex and porn. I was only able to quit after I became celibate and stopped watching porn. For me cocaine was the ultimate aphrodisiac but overtime it eats away at you physically and affects your performance where u haven’t do more coke to overcome it. It’s a vicious downward spiral. I’ve been clean since New Year’s Day and trying to stay off until the next one
My allergies are outta control this year 😂
lol
We need more videoes like this in the world ❤
#1 sign: They have a UA-cam channel about it.
Was hanging out with a friend a few months back and "out of the blue" they were speakjng at a mile a minute, sweating and just seemed off. Had known them for years but bever saw them act like this. I cut our visit short and got the heck out of there, I don't want to be alone with someone who is high on hard drugs because you don't know what they are going to do.
i was going to comment this. someone close to me is addicted to cocaine. it’s easy to know when she’s using because she’ll talk a mile a minute.
I feel as cocaine takes over your spirit immediately. Your mind gradually. And your heart in the end. If you're trying to quit, always tell someone you can trust, and key them hold you accountable.
I see so many of my friends and other people I know on that poison. What is becoming more common in the pub I drink in is the seller and buyer, both male, both friends coming out of the men's cubicle together. Sometimes they don't hear someone like me doing my business against the wall and you suddenly hear the door opening and the two walk out. One friend I know was sightly embarrassed this weekend when he walked out of the men's cubicle with an other man and I was standing there doing my business. That was the first confirmation I got that he was taking coke. I knew he and his wife and his grown up daughters were taking coke anyway. Cocaine is pandemic in most developed countries now. Where or how it will end I do not know, because the authorities cannot stop it. The heath service will be dealing with these users at a cost of billions as their health deteriorates from using this Devils Dandruff.
If you are trying to quit, and this goes for every substance. cut ties with everybody doing the drugs you are trying to quit until they decide they want the same for themselves. It is the only way I've seen someone actually quit heroin/fentanyl everyone else who said they wanted to but hung around their friends still using are still using or gone.
@@SlimJumbo sounds reasonable!!!
@@STHFGDBY 100%.
Here in the middle of Canada, too. 😞💔
100% same scenario - and I'm female.
So annoying dealing w people who throw that on you and then just constantly lie to you even tho they want you to hold them accountable. I remember my buddy lying to his therapist on the phone about how he’s not doing drugs while doing cocaine talking to her.
Not sure if I should consider myself lucky but I was taking all kinds of drugs here and there till early 30s but around when I turned 33 or 34 I realized that it takes whole week to fully recovered and it’s not worth doing it for me anymore so I just stop taking it. Having me said that one thing I don’t mind doing is go to parties and take couple of pills once or twice a year but I haven’t done that either.
Just got help over a month ago it’s crazy how much it took over my life and ruined relationships I’m 26 now and started doing it when I was 16 been a month sober now never felt better
I got clean on 2/14/20 and never looked back. The funny thing about coke is in my head I tell myself how fun it was but when I really think about it… it wasn’t. It’s such a weird drug and I’m thankful I’m over it
I just recently found out about my grandfather's addiction a year after his stroke. I am begging if you're reading this and you have a family member that's suffering from these signs love them as dearly as I loved my grandfather please seek help before it's too late. There were no signs of my grandfather being an addict and I was unaware my whole life until after he was gone. It hurts how much this addiction can be unnoticed. I have so much guilt about not being able to have a voice or to help him. So please don't wait and be in the same position as me.
Good video.
Cocaine literally did the exact opposite to me the handful of times I used it. I was a happy outgoing sociable likeable person at the party. And when the coke entered the nose, I became paranoid and strange and introverted. Never once did it give me power or confidence or sex appeal.
Bruh, me too. The buzz of alcohol was better for me than the effect of coke. The coke actually got me feeling sober and as soon as it fades because I didnt take another line in a certain amount of time, the depressing empty feeling kicks in. Making me think I should have just stuck to alcohol only and be social
well thats good reason not to start again...never worked for me too so i didnt try more. for anyone alse. be social is overrated. Be yourself first and you will find easier who you are going easily with.
It was probably low quality. You’re not missing out anyways
Or you’re ADD. I’ve never tried coke… been offered a few times but I don’t want to support the evil people who exploit Central America… anyway! I have tried a few other things and if they work at all, they have weird effects on me.
I have a dear friend that currently owes me about $1000 and he is always doing coke. I would come home from the army around the holidays and every time I saw him he was either getting doing or talking about cocaine. I left that life behind along time ago and it hurts me to see him like he is. I doubt I will ever get my money back and he was pulling the I need help card and me considering him as a brother would help. I had to just not buy into it anymore. It sucks because I would have always helped him but I refuse to be a part of his addiction any longer.
Same boat about $700. I won’t do it again and doubt I’ll get my money back but have empathy
I have a friend too. She’s 40 years old. Last June 2023, we reconnected. Because we didn’t talk or hang out for 6 months. There was no beef between us. We just stopped talking. But last June, I found out that she does coke because she told me she was doing it with her other friend….fast forward, on September 2023, she asked me if I could lend her $1,800.00 because she needed it to pay off her debts. To this day, she keeps saying she will slowly pay me back but I haven’t seen a single dollar!!!! She always brings up about doing “coke” to stay awake because she’s ALWAYS tired!…whether she’s joking or not, but I suspect that she’s a coke (addict). We live 30 kilometres away from each other. We talk a lot on the phone but just don’t see each other….anyways, that $1,800 I doubt I will ever see it back!
Love you for the sake of god brother keep it up u don’t need that trash!
I started an essential job at a lq store when right as the pandemic hit. I'm a musician and it put me out of my touring work, so I started this job to maintain. Well, working at a lq store can expose you to alot of things l, especially drugs. Music lifestyle too, so I was no stranger to booze, and coke. But usually on occasion or on tour here and there. I was also out of a 5 year breakup that was very toxic, so I had some coping issues there. Fast forward abit and I had developed a 3 year coke and alcohol addiction. I was thinner than usual, barely ate,on the break of psychosis, and in a bad place. I ate some mushrooms one night, and had an epiphany, and just never went back to that job the next day, stopped doing coke and made it two weeks, when I was hanging with my old coworker, while I was heavily intoxicated, and I relapsed and dig like 2 fat rails. Was up all night, and had to celebrate my mom's birthday strug out and continuing to drink. Stopped hanging with that coworker, we were close, but it was bad for my health. Dropped coke again, kept drinking. Lashed out at someone I cared about, and Dropped booze the next day. Hit a meeting, and now I'm 5 months clean of alcohol, and cocaine. It's the best thing I've done, and I highly recommend it.

Yo for real! Im a huge advocate for them, and try to micro dose often when I can get a hold of some. @@guccidonbuzzflightyear4440
I'm struggling/suffering still, I always think nobody understands me and I sabotage my relationships, money is an issue because of my addiction. My parents and grandparents were addicts as well. I isolate alot and living alone is the norm for me. Pray for me as I pray for anyone who still suffers. 😢
Please stay strong, will pray for you
Wishing you the best, you got this
If they constantly say “hey, let’s get some cocaine.” Probably a sign🤣
My friend is having alcohol and cocaine issues. Me and another friend will talk to him about how his choices are causing him to act different and not himself. He’s been using cocaine much more often and drinking all hours of the day. How should we go about this conversation?
Be gentle. Understanding. Which imo sounds like you are a REALLY great friend!!! Kudos to you. Let him know that people are starting to notice/ask questions and are concerned about their well being. My sister did for me, which inherently landed me in the Looney bin. Now I have my own apartment, great job and a good studio/good life! You might have to make a decision for them, and they may very well hate you for it. But, in the long run, one of two things can happen. They'll thank you, or they'll keep using. It's ultimately their choice, but don't be afraid to be a catalyst of change for someone else's betterment. ❤️333❤️
Thank god this showed up in my feed. I was beginning to worry that I’d actually have to Google it.
Kuh kuh kuh yeah !, Dr. Rockzo !
Last time I spoke to my best friend I found out he was a coke addict. I'm 19 years old and I've known this guy literally since the day I was born, (our older sisters were also best friends at the time). I caught up with him over the phone about 5 days ago, he lives in Israel now. When he said he was using coke to help his sale performances, a part of me shattered inside. Seeing someone you grew up with become addicted to drugs is one of the saddest things and then knowing you can't do anything physically besides just advising them to not do it also hurts a lot. My friend went from being a pure, kind hearted and bubbly soul.. to one that gets easily angered by the slightest comment, easily distracted, narcissistic and straight up hypocritical. I just want my friend back and I've told him I'm not so happy with his coke use but he then he always deflects the issue and tells me how I shouldn't smoke weed.. which isn't nearly as dangerous as coke. The thing is, addiction is something that the addict has to go through and no matter what I tell him, he's going to have to learn for himself. I just hope he doesn't learn the hard way and that god is good to him. He's always been a good soul, I just don't know much of 'him' truly remains anymore 😔
thanks for sharing, a friend of mine exhibits mood swings and extreme displays of anger at the smallest thing. such as how i expressed concern about his cognitive function due to how repetitive he is with telling me the same stories everytime we communicated, as if he was telling me those same stories for the 1st time. could you maybe offer an example of the kind of things that trigger your friends anger for a comparison ? seems like your friend is lucky to have you on his side. GOODLUCK !
@@homebrandrules Your friend may or may not be on cocaine but if you have a gut feeling that he is using you may be right unfortunately. If my friend hadn't openly said he was snorting I would've still suspected that he was using just judging by his actions. I've known a lot of drug addicts, coke addicts in particular and one thing they all have in common is they always feel the need to control the conversation. They may ask you a question only for them to answer it themselves because they just want to hear themselves talk. One incident that got my friend angry was when I was talking about my current circumstances, being out of work ect. I wasn't dumping my problems onto him but simply catching up with him about my life saying it is what it is. He gave me some advice saying I should find a job ect, in which I listened to but didn't agree with because I know that I'll be moving my town shortly. He then boasts saying that he is influential and that he can change anyone's life because he is a salesman. I replied saying that may be true but I'm personally a very stubborn guy and no one can shift my mind. He then bursts with rage saying that 'you should change your own f#ckjng life then instead of asking me for help.' He then calmed down in a split-second, apologizing saying he has anger issues. I was kinda freaked out and confused, firstly because he's never gotten that angry over something that silly and secondly because I never even asked him for help, I was simply telling him about what I was going through. I'm fully aware I'm responsible for my own life. So, in summary if your friend gets violently angry in an instance for the smallest issue, only to go back to normal like it never happened. Chances are your friend either has extreme bipolar or is suffering from a drug addiction. If your friend is also experiencing memory loss and is constantly repeating himself then it could also be alcohol, as alcoholics have a tendency to be quite repetitive. If I was you, I'd ask him about it one of these days. Bring it up subtly. 'Hey buddy why do you keep telling me the same stories, is everything ok?' He may be completely unaware of it himself but if he gets angry when you ask him, it may be the drugs talking through him. It's going to be a rocky road but definitely be honest about your concern for him. Tell him you're not happy with him taking it. Tell him it makes, you and others around him sad to see him like this. All in all, just be friend and try to offer solutions like retreats and therapy. Most addicts want help, but often they're just too ashamed and afraid to ask for it. A lot of addicts are also surrounded by other addicts as well, so it's important to be honest to him because his addict friends will never tell him to stop. Misery loves company. I know this comment is long af lol but I hope it helps to see the signs. You seem like a good friend he is lucky to have also. His behavior clearly concerns you enough to watch this video and to reply to my comment so good luck to you also and I hope that your friend recovers. Regards, Rain.
I have a buddy who was a crazy coke addict he is now Two years sober and he is whole in his being and there is nothing permanently taken away he is actually the best version of himself he has ever been
I live in California and was first tried coke in May 2015, then started using it until December 2018. Been clean since then. In November of 2018 I developed a little hole in my septum like the one that Steve-O has, which really scared me, but I still used it couple times after that. What helped me to get clean was me flying to my parents to Russia for 2 months, and when I returned back to California in February of 2019, I did it once but it only made me feel anxious and paranoid and I finally let go off my addiction and haven’t done it since. Had couple friends who did it around me after that, but it didn’t trigger me, and thankfully I never relapsed and never will. And I just wanted to say that even though if you feel like you just can’t stop using coke and you think it’s just something you might have to do for the rest of your life, don’t give up! You can quit it! Just go somewhere away from where you are, go to the place where you won’t have anyone around doing coke and you won’t be able to buy it there, just go there for couple months, and you won’t regret it!
Thank you for this advice. I think make sense. Ive done coke for about 12 years, thanks God it hasnt been that bad, but the addiction is still there. I really dont need it when and not on it, but i want to quit. Now that im on vac in my dads house im not doing it and ur right is something that i think if i stay long i will be able to stop forever.
You know what's crazy about your experience, mine and others is that they stopped doing dope when the dope became shit.
Not saying that in a negative way or thats solely why you gave it up..but just goes to show how much things have changed.
Stay safe
So the Russians are to blame 😮wow how original 😅
I would never go out looking for it or for dealers, but my weakness was, going into a Pub and bumping into someone I knew who dealt in it, and if I had the money (knowing I needed that money for food and bills etc) I would get it. It was like an impulse thing. When I realised what I was doing to myself and my life, not wanting to be like it anymore, and especially with the 'come downs' I stopped going to this particular pub, this removing temptation. This gave me the chance to look deep into myself and what I wanted. I wanted to feel secure and not skint anymore.
Great video! Also the Fet in it these days makes it a Million times more dangerous and lethal
I smoked weed for the first time in 8th grade and had a really bad panic attack. Traumatized me a bit, can’t lie. I decided that if I can’t handle weed I can’t handle all these other drugs. Really good decision because I think I would’ve really liked Coke lol.
Yep, I had a panic attack as well with weed. Even excessive caffeine gives me anxiety. Something like Coke would give me such a bad panic attack I think my heart would explode. Don’t ever try it. I never will.
My ex was an addict that blamed me for everything,she wont accept it and says its recreational..
Its alot of fun, you feel great on it. That's why its hard to not take it when youre out.
I just find it funnmy that you have white spots in your shirt while talking about how to tell if someone is an addict haha , good video.
Since corona cocaine use got really popular here in rural areas of Germany, I feel like many people would never say they are addicted, but after three beers on the weekend they call up the plug. Had strugles myself for a long time to say no after some beers I don’t know why the urge comes after drinking, but it’s definitely already a addiction at that point in my opinion.
Had to stop drinking for six months for the urge to stop, definitely a dangerous substance to play with even though it was a cool time I’m glad it’s over
Alcohol = decreased inhibition and poor decision-making.
@@minkorrh - No kidding. My ex ruined our lives with alcohol. Bizarre experience.
I think the best part of Coke is actually the act of doing it (maybe besides the sobering and alertness) it’s just really fun to rack out lines or bumps w friends.
Since Biden opened the borders cocaine has been cheaper than it was in the nineties
One of the worst is when u only start drinking and u need coke straight away
question? I used coke on and off with my ex boyfriend then stated using everyday for two months when I finally met someone else and ended up cutting him off and had crazy withdrawals i from time to time thought about coke for a month after that and sometimes to this day I still do it on and off not often but occasionally am I considered an addict?
Found this video 2024, myself being in my early early 20’s, ive been through a bud/opiate/alcohol bingea couple years ago. After watching this, im sure this is my next battle. Blow is definetely the best(bad)/worst thing ive been through and hardest to walk away from. Im functional but never feel good. If someone pops some rocks out, im in. Looking to really walk away from it soon(im afraid i’ll go onto the next harder drug and i rly wont come back).
The massive confidence boost is the easiest sign lol
Sad part is the majority of people could actually use a massive confidence boost
I worked with a guy who was a coke addict for a few months. He was always snorting really hard saying "damn this hay-fever"
Found out after he left he was spending half his wages every month on coke.
How about this" i dont do this often"
Your a hero for posting this.
Also, if they never want to go out to eat with you, but they’re always down to go drink and party with you. If they’re always going to the bathroom.
I genuinely do have allergies, but I look like I may take drugs ( I don’t), so I often have people I’ve just met ask if I can get them some coke. That’s my method of spotting a cocaine user 😂
I don’t do coke anymore (used to do it from 16-20) but one of the things I do subconsciously is touch my nose or the area around my face. It’s been like 6 years since I quit doing it regularly and 2 years since I’ve last touched any, but I find myself doing this still till this day
Same...and when I need to sniff from a runny nose instead of just sniffing I scrunch up one whole side of my face. Can always tell people who do yay by the why they sniff when congested.
Thanks 🙏
These are some Dr. Phil level facts.
Tried it once, the fiendish greed for it really kept me from ever using again. I hate stuff that makes you take more and my reaction to it is that all my inner alarm bells ring and I start getting nauseous even thinking about taking more. Seems like I am lucky.
Much the same hate the stuff always get it offered when am out but will never try it ever again since 1st time!
I’m still an active cocaine addict and alcoholic. I’m still functioning though. I have two jobs, a home, own my own vehicle and dirt bike. But I still hate being controlled by it. I need to get away from it. I’ve been in this cycle for 20 years. But I’ve been sober for 3 years twice . But fall back into it.
Same here
My now ex that I just left is a functioning addict but extremely hateful, narcissistic and does not care about no he hurts. Thinks he’s a gift. I know he does it but he will deny deny. I want to help him so bad but I have no hope left.
Thanks a lot! People already think I relapsed, because of my chronic allergies . Just kidding! It’s great information.
Getting calls from a friend at really weird times like 3 am during the week is a pretty strong indicator, in my experience.
My buddy is addicted bad, he lost his girlfriend he can't keep a job cause he stays up til 6-7 am and sleeps all day, he steals from him mom trades her medicines for coke, I didn't notice anything was wrong until he wanted to play poker every day instead of once a week, turns out he needed the money to keep up his addiction he has a 11 month year old and CPS is already involved. My life is completely different from this l've only done coke once for my 30th birthday and vow to never do it Again I just don't know how to help my friend. I have a family and have to worry about them first but I feel bad for my friend.
It is hard to stop someone from their addiction. First they will deny they have a problem. Things will change for them only when they realize that they do have a problem. They will never admit to friends or family because of the shame they feel. If they do reach out for help to you, just be a friend and tell them you understand it is hard but there is a way to start recovery. Maybe volunteer to go to a 12 step meeting with them. They are all on the web for wherever you live. I hope your friend can get turned around it the right direction soon. The longer it goes on, the harder it is to quit. Please, never lend him money until he has had treatment and shows you he has changed. Good luck. I am a on again off again addict. I have been through many therapy sessions and treatment facilities, so I know the drill. I can spot an addict from a mile away.
I don’t know why but I don’t get addicted to coke… I’ll still accept 2-3 bumps of coke when I’m offered after a couple beers but… not addicted….one time I took 2 grams of coke by myself I was tweaked out but the next day I didn’t feel like doing it at all
I’ve never felt what a withdrawal feels like either
@@nofeeling8089feel you man, did 6g in 3 days once and never had withdrawal after besides the comedown feeling
Real good one I’ve noticed is being broke all the time, when you have a good job. Gotta friend that loves the Colombian marching powder. Always broke….😂
Weekend warrior here.
Been addicted for about a year now... just had a job interview so I got clean thinking there was going to be a drug test. 2DAYS 2DAYS!! kicked my ass of not being on it. Couldn't imagine quitting for good. One hell of a drug, that motivation and joy it brings is somethin else. Thanks for your thoughts.
Stay clean please.. coke ruined my life and I wasn’t even doing it.. my ex husband was.. 😞 now I’m a single 24 yo mother and i hate everything about this drug..
@@brandyking7389 Its a tough drug, for me anyways. I'll be off it someday. And I'm sorry to hear the effects its had on your life. I hope it gets better for you.
@@brandyking7389 you look good asf yeaaa he was snortty 😭
@@brandyking7389
Drugs killed my 4 year marriage.
Hang in there brandy, God bless you!!
@@mbftypebeat6129what does it feel like to withdraw? Are you very lethargic, kinda foggy? Do you just sleep those days or is it hard to sleep?
I am a 45-year-old woman that recently last nine months became very addicted to cocaine and I’m struggling every day I hate myself I hate my life and I want it to stop and I just don’t know how
Good of you to reach out and accept you have a problem. Biggest tip I can give is to tell everybody close to you EVERYTHING. Tell them you're an addict. It helps immediately and gives you support. People can hold you accountable too. Once you've done that, you can start to pinpoint the triggers, distractions and fight against it. For me, alcohol was a huge trigger, so I got sober from drink for good and that's had a huge positive impact on my battle against cocaine. You can do this, each day that goes by is a positive. Reach out people
Give your money to homeless men.
Open a new account that doesn’t come with a debit card therefore u cannot make withdrawals for cash
Go to NA meetings. They help. Non judgemental. Free. Caring. It works.
Dont call your dealer and read some bible
It's good shit!
I burst out laughing when you said talking about cocaine all the time or saying "hey, let's go get some cocaine" were signs
When you leave your laptop at a repair shop with incriminating evidence on it or forget your eight ball on the desk in the Oval Office
Thanks, Don Jr
Ive never been an addict but i know just from using coke that the only thing i wanna do while on it is… more coke.
Feel that
I’m confused. You start off as stating you “were” an addict. Does that mean you’ve been cured from your addiction? How’d you do it?
