It was only a week ago I noticed that I have lost a fair bit of tissue inside my nose and that my nasal septum has narrowed a lot.
Seeing that really did give me a massive scare.
Iam only young and I do care about my looks. I asked myself why I am doing this to my body.
It had to stop and since then I have been clean.
Problem is, a lot my my friends take drugs so I have to stay strong. I know that I am going to be around people who will be taking cocaine and around people who will be offering me lines. I know I will be Ok if I am sober but when I have had a drink my cravings for cocaine are stronger. I am just going to have to think about how I felt when I noticed my nasal problems.
I know you guys are not allowed to give any medical advice but surely my nose cant get any worse or I cant lose anymore nasal tissue if I dont touch cocaine againe?
That is what I am worried about the most. I know I can stay strong and not touch cocaine every again. Can nasal tissue grow back or re-generate over time?

PS. ALAN, TANYA, JANIED - HOW MUCH COKE WERE YOU USING? LIKE HOW MUCH WERE YOU GOING THROUGH IN A WEEK OR AT THE WEEKEND?
