I must admit that I've tried it a few times. Four to be exact. I first used the narcotic at a party when I was 17. A friend had acquired some from her older sister, and asked me to try it first. A pretty girl wanted to do blow with me. How could I resist? I started with a very small line, just to be safe, snorting the line through a rolled-up dollar bill. I felt nothing, and tried a little more. Still nothing. My friend tried it and didnt get high either. We figured that it must have been some bad shit, and her sister confirmed it later. So although I don't think I actually did coke, I intended to do it. So I consider that my first time with the drug.
The second time was a lot different. I was at my brother's bachelor party and someone brought a bunch of blow with him. This time, I got extremely high. I felt like my eyes were popping out of my head. And I gotta admit, I had an awesome night, staying out until 4:00. I had superhuman strength that night.
A week later I did it again... and a lot more than the previous time. The next morning, I knew that I could never use cocaine again. I liked it waaaaaay to much and was worried about getting hooked on the drug. So I decided that I would stick to beer and pot, and did so for the next 10+ years.
Then came the trip to Vegas a few years ago. We hooked up with some girls from Newport Beach, and one of them had blow. I figured: One more time wasn't going to hurt me. We went on an unbelievable bender during the next two days and nights. Honestly, I must have slept less that two hours the whole time. One of the girls kept feeding me coke when I started to doze off. Again, I had an amazing time. And again, I swore to never do coke again. I fell asleep on the plane before it took off, and awoke in Charlotte as the plane was landing, drooling all over myself. The couple seated next to me were laughing and asked me if I had a good time. I said: I think so?
That was my last encounter with cocaine, and this time I can honestly say that I'll never do it again. I have a family now, and it seems childish for me to waste my time and money snorting coke. I grew up. But I don't regret the choices I made. I want to experience things for myself. And I don't blame anyone else for doing the same. We all make mistakes when we're young. Even Senators. Let's judge people by what they've made of their lives, not by their youthful curiosity.
