I'm a 22 yr old guy from canada, started out smoking weed and doin a lil crystal back when I was 14-15. Never enjoyed meth for some reason..hell I enjoyed a joint alot better then a hit of meth. So then I turned 16-17ish and got into X. Man that was it for me. Next year I was a str8 junkie on it..doing the shit everyday. Going days n days with out sleep..I was a mess..but I got over it. This story isnt about that. Its the way I got over it. Cocaine

This wonderful drug that didnt make me feel like shit the next day ( in the amounts I was doing when I first started ). Didnt have the extreme feelings of depression that come after a good x binge. Made me feel cool and exciting. The rolesroyce of drugs. Oh man did I get hooked. I found it snuck up on me. I didn't even realize whats happening. Start out on weekends at partys n clubs..doing lines in the bathrooms with buddys..then I started to go out to the clubs n partys during the week. I told myself its for fun, but its really just an excuse to get jacked.

I never had to steal to support my habbit. Never had to rob anyone. Nor sell anything at a hock shop. You see my parents own a rich contracting company. I get a pay cheque of 2800$ every two weeks whether I worked that week or not. I always have money to support my habbit. So in that respect I manage to hold my life together.

The people I get coke off. My dealers. They know the money I have. They know I can always get more. Half the time I dont even have to call them to hook up. Thell be calling me on the phone telling me about this new kick ass batch of pure they got. And how its ok if I have no money. 'I can cuff you till your next cheque' or me: 'yah I want a ball' them :'take a quarter, pay me when ever' now I'm used to buying a quarter of blow for a friday night instead of a ball..perfect. Thats just the weekends. Now I do 2grams of blow a day, at least. Theres been weekends I've gone into with 2gs cash. Woke up tuesday morning oweing close to another 1. Yet if you met me. I would be the last person you would think of as a drug addict..I dress nice. Keep care of myself. Drive a brand new truck. Good family life. My parents know of course. All the empty baggies n rolled up bills they find lying around. But for some reason have never had the balls to talk to me about it..so I'm here writing this at a loss of what to do? I know all this coke is bad for my body. I know it has long term effects. My friends say somthing to me about it once n awhile. But they do it too. Not as bad as I do. But they do it...so is it really a drug problem, if its not creating any problems?
