Are you looking for a lifestyle prescription of sorts? There are many paths to the top of the mountain, but the view from the top is the same. Try this:

Bikram Yoga 5 times per week
Eat only whole foods, nothing processed
Don't use any drugs including alcohol and nicotine

Easy right?

first off congrats on going cold turkey!
i'd say for your diet:focus on getting in as much protein as you can, stay away from refined sugars and all that crap. and try and include fish in your meals a few times a week, your brain needs its' omega-3's

exercise:im not sure what condition you're in, but im prettyy sure cocaine is a bitch on the heart so i would take it easy at first.
start going on walks, maybe a mile or 2. then increase it to 2-5 miles when you feel comfortable. when you think you're ready, start jogging, then just see what you wanna do from there. cardiovascular exersize is great for the heart. Some people arent into jogging/cardio so if thats not your thing than maybe think about joining a gym.

a few supplements that i would reccomend-
Fish oil: its' great for your heart, brain, there are just soo many benefits. (take with food)
Multivitamin: for obvious reasons (take with food)
Magnesium (preferably anything other than magnesium oxide): it's great for your muscles, heart and brain. its also an NMDA-antagonist and IME its gives a little mood boost (take with or without food)

hope this helps,
best of luck to you!
keep us updated alright?

This is an excellent opportunity to have the whole battery of tests done. A new lifestyle helps when you are able to clean the slate of any doubts or concerns.

Is there anything specific a daily cocaine abuser should ask?

Get checked for Hep. You don't mention the ROA(s) you were using for coke but even if you were just insufflating its possible (rare, but possible) to contract hep from whatever you were using to snort with.

Tell your doctor that you are abusing cocaine and that you want to stop using it altogether.

Some people find that treatment or NA helps.

Might be a good idea to ask for a quick EKG as well just to make sure you haven't developed any arhythmias due to the cocaine use.
