I tried coke last year, when I was 23. I was curious. I was on it for just 2 weeks, and only a few days had to go by before all I could think about was my next bump. What scared me was how fast I became hooked on it, I did it every chance I got. Going to work and school on it, not to mention partys and the such, even before playing a tennis match (fuck me!). Luckily life gave me the opportunity to get back with my girl and I stopped putting shit into me, although we both do enjoy our weed
That's quite a lot of people. I'm 18 and I have never tried it and I hopefully never will. I really don't think I'll ever give in. I have seen what it can do to people and even though I don't think I would get addicted to it if I tried it, I just don't want to risk it. Really though, I can see why some would want to try it and I know there are reasons for them wanting to try it. I just have a lot of reasons not to try it, therefore I won't. I've seen a best friend, friends, family members and even a girlfriend all get incredibly messed up because of cocaine, and that's more than enough to keep me away.
I was 16. People think they can handle it, all it takes is doing it once, than a random line down the road to get hooked. Cocaine is the sneakiest addiction I've ever met and I'm grateful to be clean from all drugs today. Saying you can handle it is just like this guy who said if he can't count the number of times he has shot heroin on his fingers in a year than he's done it too much, last time I saw him, he shot up in the backseat of my car and I never even heard his name again.
