I used to do it habitually for 3 years around a decade ago. I eventually quit once i started injecting and then eventually went cold turkey. Slept for like 2 days straigh. It's been a decade, but my brain still feels completely messed up. When I get super stressed my nose is able to smell gasoline, and i know why that is. It even manages to simulate that fun numbing feeling. And I still have these old remnants of anhedonia floating through my brain. It almost feels like I'm bipolar or something, since my mood can get so eratic at times. But the thing is, does Cocaine use prolong that far out from when you quit? Is the damage permanent, or is this something else that's undiagnosed?

I haven’t noticed much of an impact on my life. I used to inject cocaine habitually once upon a time. I think the biggest problem I hear about stemming from cocaine use is having a hard time getting excited or feeling pleasure. Because your dopamine receptors, which allow you to feel pleasure, have either been fried, or desensitized. This was maybe three or four years ago when I stopped. The longer you remain sober, the more you will go back to normal physically and mentally.
