Just remember this feeling the next time you're given the option and say no if this isn't something you want to feel again.

r3nu4l · 30-03-2009 12:21PM

You should really look at 'why' you took the cocaine in the first place?

Was it 'ah sure, why not?' or 'I'll look stupid if I don't because they're all doing it too?' or 'I'll be so cool if I do!' or some other reason?

Examine the reasons why you took it. If it's because others were doing it and you felt you had to to fit in, then that indicates that you didn't have the confidence in yourself to say no.

If it's because you thought it would make you look cool, then (apart from being wrong) it also indicates a general lack of confidence in yourself.

If it's because you were drunk...then don't get too drunk around these people in future.

Remember kids, stay safe, don't be a 'Cocaine Katie'

did you enjoy it last night when you were on it?

Craft25 · 30-03-2009 12:39PM

What goes up must come down i'm afraid! the feeling you have now is an after effect of the drug.. just weather this period & think about it more logically tomorrow.

Just don't do it again. Put it down to experience and move on.
It does turn people into incredibly irritating, self righteous idiots, so don't make it into a habit.

LegacyUser · 30-03-2009 12:41PM

Firstly, who's going to find out?

Secondly, if you don't like how you feel the day after, then don't do it again.

Having ended up in hospital with slight heart issues after doing it, it turned from something fun into something a bit more serious for me. I wouldn't do it again because of that.

I do miss the social aspect and the feeling of "Bam!" but for me, the thoughts of anything serious happening to me stop me from doing it....

ogriofa · 30-03-2009 02:08PM

I was out (abroad) with a few pals. One of them was opening up to me with a real problem in their life... I was just waiting for her to stop talking so that I could be hilarious again.

Thinking back the next day, I never felt like such a dick!
Haven't done it since.

ps. I've upped my exercise a lot recently. You get endorphins from exercise. I'd recommend that!

100% agree. It makes people speak incoherently but in some bizarre twist they actually think they are better than you.

I can't stand coke heads. Stopped hanging around with a few people who picked up the habbit as they just turn into boring, vacuous, idiots.

Naked Lepper · 30-03-2009 03:18PM

one of the most annoying things for someone who is not on cocaine to do, is to be around people who are.

nobody listens or cares about what anyone else is saying, theyre just waiting for the moment someone stops talking so they can butt in and talk about what they feel like talking about.

Joey the lips · 30-03-2009 04:03PM

What has happened to you that you feel you need cocaine to get by in life. Its dangerous, its illegal and its very selfish to your parents.

I have no doubt I will start a debate but as a parent I hope I am never faced with the Issue. I have been through a lot with my kids I will be through a lot more. I would hate to think that coming to a stage in life where I think your mature enough to go your own you repay me by taking such a highly dangerous drug.

Try stop for your parents mistake and if not them for your brothers and sisters who no doubt love you.

I don't think you should feel awful - lots of people try things. Plenty of people take cocaine recreationally now and again and are perfectly functioning, decent members of society. But seeing as you feel bad now (not necessarily the coke - it could be just guilt for doing something you feel is wrong) don't use it any more. If a person decides to use it, they should only do so (in moderation) because they actually want to - and it doesn't look like you do.

That said, I'm not recommending everyone who feels like doing it/wants to do it actually go ahead and do it. Not everyone can handle it - and too much of it is highly dangerous.

fishdog · 30-03-2009 06:35PM

Rubbish! Apart from the damage it may do to the user think about the industry/culture using this drug supports. Look at the number drug related shootings/beatings in Dublin alone.

estar · 30-03-2009 06:59PM

just learn the lesson the first time and you will be fine.

personally i think although dont kill yourself with guilt, as at least you feel regret that people should be ashamed of taking drugs considering where they come from and where the money they hand over for them goes.

if more people considered this before they bought drugs perhaps the world would be a safer and nicer place.

i dont think that people who hand over money to violent criminals who terrorise parts of our country and many other countries in the world are great members of society. but thats just my opinion of course.

I agree, I would not encourage anybody to take it weather it be once, twice or in moderation.

Stay away from it - The end!

Just to clarify: I am not recommending that ANYONE take cocaine. I am not condoning or encouraging its use either. I wouldn't touch it myself - the idea of sniffing a powder up my nose... well that's enough to put me off.
What I am saying though, is that there is a particular reality which no amount of preaching/moralising will change: people will use cocaine. And there is nothing I can do about that, nothing I can say that will make them stop, it is ultimately their decision - so if someone does decide to do it, it should only be because they genuinely want to give it a try, not because they feel coerced into it/want to go along with the crowd.

I am recommending the OP not go near it again, but I'm also advising her not to feel bad about it and just move on.

It is a very dangerous drug if used excessively/by people who can't handle mind-altering substances/mixed with alcohol... however it is not incorrect to say that some people do it occasionally and they handle it fine. I'm not saying they should - I'm just pointing it out to the OP in order to stop her from feeling so bad. She did it once, she won't do it again - it's no disaster.

Some people seem to be able to "handle" mugging, raping, stealing and murder, too....

OP, don't beat yourself up; everyone makes mistakes. But that advice comes with one caveat : that you've learned your lesson and don't be as stupid again.....mistakes are ok as long as you learn from them.

Liam, how can you compare someone being attacked/raped/robbed and most bizarrely of all, losing a loved one to murder... to choosing to use a moderate amount of cocaine occasionally and suffering no ill effects because they don't overdo it/don't mix it with alcohol/have the ability to deal with it...?

You've referred to people "handling" such traumatising events - yeah, after years of coming to terms with it, after intense and lengthy sessions of counselling, after being put on medication, after spending time in a psychiatric hospital... And I know: some people who (ab)use cocaine wind up in a similar situation - I'm not talking about those, I'm talking about the users who do it the odd time and nothing more comes of it.

LegacyUser · 30-03-2009 11:14PM

Been there, don't get freaked about it.... it is easy to give up once you make the decision. I have done it about 5 times in the last 5 years...last time was 3 years ago and don't see myself doing it again as my circle are ok (ie we did it for a laugh)

Just like I did E several times between the age of 20 and 22 (now 29) - last time was a really bad trip so learned the lesson and have never ( and will never) touch it again.

Think about who your friends are though as peer pressure is a huge thing...

missingtime · 30-03-2009 11:37PM

If you are doing it around people you trust then you should have nothing to worry about.

Shield · 31-03-2009 12:58AM

That's right, nothing to worry about at all... except developing a dependency on a highly addictive Class A drug and becoming an addict whether you want to or not.

YOUR REPUTATION IS RUINED!!!

Karen09 · 31-03-2009 03:33PM

some of these comments are a tad bit harsh... and over board...
the person who started the thread..op i think tried something new.. yes illegal but they tried it... they feel guilty and will prob never do it again. some of these responses i think are Ridiculous. I like many have tried different things. its the process of growing up, it doesnt make one person better than another. Its the decisions you make after that count.. like will you do it again, will you keep doing it etc.. to do coke once and realise that it is not for you, and if op sticks to this regardless what thier friends are doing, its a lesson well learned, and can be put down to experience.

Wibbs · 31-03-2009 04:06PM

FunkZ read the charter of this forum or you'll be taking a break.

MJOR · 31-03-2009 05:37PM

take a deep breath... i assume you are intelligent enough to know about drugs addiction etc.

Just relax take it easy and if this is how it makes you feel afterwards it's not worth it

biggybum · 31-03-2009 05:48PM

Without sounding controversial, in this day and age i genuinly think people try various drugs because of the group of friends they hang around with. I myself have dabbled in cocaine on numerous occasions, YES its without a doubt dangerous and illegal but in todays society i think its extremely hard to escape the fact that no matter what class of people you associate yourself with coacaine will be present ! Its entirely up to the individual themselves whether they take it or not. As for getting addicted i personally believe unless your over indulging its hard to get hooked. Just my two cents

LegacyUser · 31-03-2009 05:49PM

Question for frequent users..

I've taken coke a few times, most recent at xmas time. every now and then (today actually) when I sniff hard (..I have a runny nose all day) I get that coke chemically numb-ish taste... is it actually the coke or my mind?

odd question, but I can taste "coke" in the back of my throat and it's disgusting

Board Walker · 31-03-2009 05:51PM

im sure it was curiosity that got the better of ya.

put it down to experience and move on. horrible stuff

Ehm, that depends on whether or not you consider a week long psychotic episode as something to worry about... This happened a friend of mine who only took the odd bit here and there. OP chalk it up to experience, forget about it and move on.

the_dark_side · 01-04-2009 03:14AM

forget about it... I used to do E and felt gulity, then I did something alot stronger one night, and then tried the ouija board... then drank loads. I felt like a zombie... then I moved on with my real life, and forgot about chasing the fantasy world.. kick all the vices and put them behind you. All it is is powder... (this is where 'is' works twice in a row and stil makes sense)
