Man, why must coke make people lie?

[HEyHEY]

I was at my friend's late last night after the bar closed. He pulled out a little baggie of blow and says, "Well, that was a good night. Haven't touched this in a while, so I'm going to treat myself." And, I'm just thinking, "Dude, I saw you do this last week."
He's a good guy, but shit, that stuff will fuck with your life. I imagine he's truly, at the very least, doing it once every two days. Dangerous.
He seemed a little perturbed when I turned it down too. Almost like, if no one was doing it with him he felt guilty about it or something. Cause a little later he offered again, but was more insisting.

But, I wish the guy didn't lie about how much he's using.

1. Once every 2 days?

Sounds like he's got a problem. Had to cut some friends out of my life because that shit turned them into nasty, mean people.

2. Yep. Try doing my job and NOT doing coke.

Some years I was not very popular. Screw 'em, though.
The games they would play on me were not nice, however.

[ceile]

4. Ah, yes.

I'm surprised a few of my ex-friends did not end up your line of work simply for ease of getting their drug of choice. Way to stay strong!:hi:

9. Thanks.

Several people thought I was a narc for years. It sucked sometimes, but I am glad I stuck to my guns.
Honestly, I was really never tempted. Alcohol was enough.:eyes:

6. how, urm, far down do you exotically dance?

if one may ask

8. Just

topless.
I don't in theory have anything against nude bars, but most of them just too easily slide into sleaze and nastiness. The only place I've seen nude done correctly is Atlanta in one or two upscale clubs. To me, if you want to see nude, just get a girl and join a swinger's club, or a nude beach or some such. There's a point where it stops being entertainment and just becomes sex. When you are topless, it can still be about your interaction and personality; it can still be just an evening out, without having crossed a serious line ( for most people). Once you go nude, however...all that's left is the act. To me, it's a very distinct line, and one I'm not really willing to cross. At least not at the moment.

3. Probably shame mixed with a little bit of denial!

I think most people do that with any vice they may have.

5. Cocaine paranoia

He's on a fast road to hell. A little blow now and again is fine. But use it regularly and stuff like this happens. You start lieing and mistrusting people if they won't do it with you. It only goes downhill after that and can often end in violence. Be careful, dude, the plot of this story is not good.

Khash.

7. Thanks, I'll keep an eye out.

10. 3 weeks. That was the standard lie

of my ex-husband and his friends with regards to how long since they'd done it.

You could have SEEN them doing it 24 hours earlier, but they insisted they've been clean 3 weeks.

[HEyHEY]

11. Yeah, that seems to be it... it's always "Couple of weeks"

When, as I said, I see him do it pretty well everytime we hang out late at his place. And I KNOW I'm not the only late night drinkin' buddy he has over cause there's always a mess from the night before.

[PeaceNikki]

12. It's also pretty standard to try to get someone else to do it with them.

That way that person can never ever EVER say anything in judgement. I don't think it's to releive any guilt, it's an attempt to prophylacticly fend off any criticism from that person.

It's an evil vice. It changes people.

[HEyHEY]

13. Yeah, it is a bad one - my best friend's little brother just back from

six months of re-had. Let's hope it sticks this time.
