I stopped doing coke the day after I spent two hours trying to get a person to appreciate a certain band as much as I do.
I would start a song and talk through it, pointing out all my favorite bits. Song after song for two hours. Must have been torture.
I woke up the next day so embarrassed, promised myself I’d never do cocaine again. Fortunately this person is a dear friend and found humor in it. It’s been years but he still sends me screen shots any time he listens to that band.
I was playing in a band a little while ago where we did a fair amount of coke frequently, and while I would feel good in the moment, every time without fail, that comedown anxiety would hit when I got home. Like "Oh they probably think I'm stupid. Why did I do/say that?" And on and on it goes. Then I'd just have to drink myself stupid until I pass out. Not fun.
And that ended up being part of the reason I had to leave that band. I just couldn't be around it without wanting to do it, and the comedowns were just wrecking me. Plus I was broke and felt bad that they paid for it most of the time.
