I guess your luck balanced out given you tried heroin a few times without getting hooked, and coke can be tough to give up for lots of people (out of interest, mind if I ask how much you were using daily? just curious). Congratulations on managing to kick the weed use, anyway!

Maybe 3 or 4 large lines (high quality) a day for around 6 months. Not a crazy amount, but enough that I was surprised how easy it was for me to stop.

Weed on the other hand I used in massive amounts, so I'm sure that was part of my fixation. It was ingrained into all of my daily routines (exercise, waking up, sleeping, eating, coursework, socializing), plus I began smoking during a rough period in life so maybe that's why it had such a hold on me. Thanks for the encouragement!
