Wow, you're only 16, and doing coke. Gee, times have changed. I feel so old and I'm only 29. So kids are no longer smoking pot behind the shelter sheds, they're doing coke?

It really isn't worth it. My best friend (she's like a sister to me, since we were 12 yo) is currently in jail serving 2.5 years for importing coke. She and I dabbled a lot, but only really did coke in social settings (say every couple of months). The 8 ball thing, that sounds like a lot - do you do this in one night??

Anyway, as soon as my BF got done, I stopped (all drugs). After reading all about the nose issues and further problems, it reitertates the fact that white stuff just isn't worth it. At least we know that alcohol doesn't kill you or stuff up your nose. As long as you don't drink to the point of needing your stomach pumped, you can have a pretty fun night out. Talk to your friends, and make the right choice - if you have to get "high" or happy, just get drunk!

Good luck, and don't succumb to pressure - you should share the nose info with your friends and tell them they'd be dickheads to let their face get f*d up over a good time.

i started doing coke at the age of 14 and  was a full blown cokehead after the 1st time i did it. i decided to quit when i was 18 and only relapsed once or twice around 19 or 20. im now 23 and no longer think about it. good luck if u want it bad enough u can quit!

coke eats your nose, alcohol eats your liver.  With either one you may be dead in 5 or 10 years. .....Like my daughter.  Jerri

My uncle died at the age of 33 at the hands of alcohol.

telling a cokehead to go get drunk is not very good advice

alcahol kills...its about the worst drug there is next to meth crack heroin. atleats if im on those drugs im not as likely to run someone over and so on...and saying if you have to get high or happy just get drunk is sick! thats like saying if you have to get high or happy, pop some coricidin or smoke some rocks. alcahol is a drug and one of the hardest drugs! realize this

I didn't see the orginal post on this, but you are so right. Coke is easy to quit---maybe not so in the mental sense. I also did my thing with that but haven't touched it in years.
