Crack cocaine is so fucking dangerous. There's a reason it's so hard to find stories of people successfully beating the addiction.

The vast majority don't. It fundamentally rewires your brain - it's physiologically impossible to be in control of your usage, and if you think it won't get you... you're just fucking wrong.

I'm in the fortunate position to be an exceptional technologist, with a strong support network to help me when I fall. I make excellent money, so that's not an issue.

I'm trying my best to get back on track with my recovery - which now involves fighting my deepest primal instincts.





"I just wanna try it, once" - you aren't fucking special, unique, different. It may not be tomorrow, or next week, or even next month - but you WILL seek it out again.

and again, and again, and again... and suddenly, you're going through a ball a day just to function normally.





I was in residential treatment for two months. My 2nd time in rehab. First was a year ago for powder. When I relapsed on that in november, my face started hurting pretty quickly, and a "friend" was delighted to show me how to cook it.

Less than 4 months of use. Not a night goes by, that I don't have a using dream. It took two weeks to go from 1-3 hits every hour, to a ball a day.

If you wanna try it, be my guest - but I'd suggest reading "Dante's Inferno" ahead of time, to give you an idea what the rest of your life is gonna look like.
 
Thanks for your insightful thoughts. I'm glad you are all right, that's the main thing. You have a story to tell as a warning to others, Drugs are tricky, often times they can have detrimental outcomes and effects on people like yourself who I suspect was simply curious.
Thanks
