  I started doing casual coke about 15 years ago when at the pub.
  Once I started doing it I cannot believe how many people I noticed doing it, I guess I was just oblivious.

  Coke free 15 years! Alcohol free, 15 hours.

    Congrats! I’m nearly 24 hours sober at the moment, might go another. I’ve never done anything harder than acid, I’m kind of a self-control freak. And yes, deeply oblivious.

    Not wanting to belittle your accomplishment at all, but if my stoner maths is holding up, doesn’t this mean you had a coke habit for like 7 weeks? Must’ve been a fun 7 weeks at least 😁

      It was a heavy year. I got into a bit of debt with it and I credit my current anxiety issues with the amount of coke I put up my nose.
