Iv been addicted to most drugs you sniff / snort for about ten years on and off mostly ketamine but I frequently use cocaine and I used mkat a lot when it was about. Iv had the same nose problem and when I shined a torch inside my nostrils you could see a lot of erosion and red sores and yellow scabs and sores that look and probably are infected. Iv beat my addiction and given my nose and body healing time because it’s not only ruining your nose it’s damaging your bladder and liver and your whole internal system including your lungs. Iv had chest infections from inhaling the drugs when I’m sniffing the because my nose is so damaged they just suck straight down my windpipe into my lungs and when I exhale a cloud of white powder blows out like smoke. This is very damaging as this white powder sits in your lungs and causes scarring mucus build up and can lead to lung disease. Sniffing drugs in general causes extra mucus to build up everywhere which is bad for the whole system because diseases manifest in mucus, if you heal and get rid of the mucus you get rid of the disease. So how did I beat my addiction and heal my body? I had to take myself away from the problem. Trying to quit on your own in The toxic environment your in is fighting a losing battle and there’s slim chances to non you will do it and never look back. I booked a flight and stayed in a drug free country for at least a month preferably 3-6 months to really heal your body and just as important - your mind. Chose a country with sunshine and nice views in a location that’s not too busy maybe Thailand or Asia. While away take any Medicines / herbs / supplements you need to flush your system and for a yellow damaged or infected nose - a course of fluxicillin antibiotics (for skin infections)  along with Naseptin nasal cream (for nose sores/infections) are what I would recommend. Get into a healthy eating and sleeping routine, exercise and sip a gallon (4litres) of water a day - a good bottled spring water with as close to ph8 alkaline. Nothing below ph7 as this is acidic and bad for the body. If there’s a psychotherapist/counsellor located near then get a few sessions in they will help a lot. After a month or more sticking to this you will mentally and physically beat the **** out of your addiction and feel like a brand new person, you won’t even think about sniffing another thing, but, and there’s a big but... if and when you return back to the toxic environment you started in you must have a lifestyle plan, routine, diet, social circles, hobbies, etc All planned and changed so there is no chance you can slip back into your old habits and waste your full rehabilitation. Join the gym and stay away from your drug mates because they will still be there and they will offer you drugs. They don’t care and you need to be ready to say no. I think iv covered a lot so Hopefully this advice will help someone beat their addiction, heal themselves and be happy. Peace x

How can i get the pain in my nose and face to stop from snorting pain pills? The only way it stops for me is to snort another pain pill and i am so ready to just be done with it all but i cant stand the pain so i cant stop until i figure a way to make the pain stop or subside a lot. I have tried nasal saline sprays and blowing my nose but neither helped at all. Please!! I just want to stop all together and once i can get the face and nose pain out of my way i know i can do it

Dude I totally know the feeling.. I've even had dreams about it feening for it.. everytime I drink I want it.. everytime I feel down I want it.. and even everytime I want to celebrate a success I just had I want it.. even just talking about it makes me want it.. but its the self control and trying to keep ur mind off it.. staying busy.. I moved to get away from it is how bad I had it.. it was stay and probably od or move and live.. but what helps is to have some type of support system or something you do when you start to crave.. for me I just find little ******** things together interested in to keep my mind off it.. I know I can't be a hypocrite saying im the best at it BC I still have 5 connects in my phone on speed dial and about 10 more peeps that know where they can get it for me.. I haven't come around to deleting those numbers yet.. I will eventually.. going cold Turkey is the hardest too and that's how I did it.. I don't think I left my apt for 2 weeks and didn't talk to anyone for the same amount of time.. it sucked but I did it for the greater good for me..

It will take about a week for your nose to heal.. I had some really dirty **** b4 that burned my nose so bad that it burned my sinuses and they bled for 2 weeks but I never stopped using until I realized how sad my life was becoming.. keep ur chin up.. u can beat it.. u have the power over yourself not it having the power over u

Chickenbot, are you still hanging in there? This is my first time reading these posts. It looks like people really want to be helped and saved from drug addiction. It can be done! We have to really want it. We go back and forth with it. Yes, I said we. I am two months clean and don't plan on going back. The devil is a liar. There must be something valuable about you that the devil trying to steal. You are stronger than the devil. I be a fool to allow the devil to use me and abuse me. Let's open up a can of "whip azz". Focus and get involved with your community. I refused to let the devil beat me. I talk back to the devil out loud. I'm even strong enough to go around dope and not partake. Much prayer is much power. You're not alone. We can do this!

Hi Chickenbot, DUDE :)

Well in South Africa i don't except less here! Everyone takes a back door route and i highly doubt they believe in customer satisfaction! They will cut with anything, I know we talking about drugs here! Numbness over the burn for coke and when is comes to Cat it's the burn and no numbness but i prefer the feeling of just concentrating rather the feeling i experience physically! Also the feeling doesn't last long and i HATE being out of control, like when you rushing from MDMA.

I feel sick even thinking about it, i know i can admit how disgusting it is but i don't want to stop! Well i did the other day but that's just from what i saw what happened to my nose! What happens when it gets better???? I'm sure I'll do it again!

I know dude, it has taken over my life not like cannabis! I had a plan,direction and budgeting my finances!
That stuff was important to me and now it's not! I work for family, so hiding it and the feeling that if it all goes down hill( becomes a problem) i have them there...ALWAYS!
I'm not blaming this but i broke up from a 7 year relationship around 4/5 months ago and truly this is where i started not caring and snorting! I liked the occasional Mdma or Mushrooms but never Coke or cat!!!

So i was ready to propose next year and all that! I broke it off but i think i suffered more coming from a very traditional Italian family then she did! Where no one has been divorced (The Big D)and i believe this adds on a lot of pressure! Coke n cat also give me my alone time with Fifa n gym! Me breaking my back stopped me from Playing Football/Soccer that's why it's important to me and childish play to others.

I know it's not the way and that's why I'm smoking it up rather than snorting...well trying!

I know I'm talking a lot and explain why I'm doing it but i'm trying to explain to myself WTF am i doing this ****! It's scary how addicted it is! At work i'm fine but when i get alone is where the problem begins! Maybe i think when i found someone it will stop!

Thanks for the words and they not falling on deaf ears :)

Dude.. as a result of doing dirty coke.. u are eating away at your septum.. what you're seeing is basicly a sore in your nose.. is it the burn or numbness you're addicted to? I can tell u first hand its not worth it.. you may say you can beat the system but I thought the same.. in the end a minute few slip through and do beat it but don't count on that.. you will **** a lot of things up.. ie: fifa, family, future jobs, you name it.. all I can say is trust me.. im in the fight to get away from it too

Yes I am using ATM, trying not to though! Because of the damage I can see in my nose!
I know how dangerous it is, that you get addicted easily and it just creeps up on you! 
It started a few months ago just as a weekend thing with friends and now has progressed to everyday!
The sick thing is that I'm not doing it cause im partying! I do it for gym and FIFA, which I know is wrong! Well thats what most of my day comprise of.
I know I have a problem and the only I think of fixing is by smoking cannabis everyday which I've been doing nearly 7 years now, with no problem and excelled at everything I put my mind to but smoking cannabis  actually helped and yesterday was my first day that I didn't use! I was proud of myself!

But I still feel the urge!!! :(

I know I have a highly addictive personality and found that out 4/5 years ago when I had a few back opps and got addicted to pain meds! Mostly Pethaden but I'm not using that as an excuse!

It's just people with high addictive attribute fold When it comes to drugs!

I don't abuse the C and C, I just love that feeling!

Thank you vicki, I've tried that and I still have cuts/ditches in my nose right over my septum!

I think I need something with anti-infection properties rather than something to just keep it moist cause I've past that stage of social usage!   

Sorry just needed to vent!

I get alot of what ur saying my friend, but the whole Addictive personality clause in my opinion is a cop out, i truly mean no offense writing that, but its not cocaine that we are all addicted too its the psychological effect it gives you, makes us feel like superman/woman and thats the root of dependance because that high has replaced our brains ability to cheer its self up, because im sure you will agree that if bananas suddenly made u feel like Charlie does then call me monkey boy!!!! Which is why in ur trip to hospital and encountering pure untainted medical highs u bloody loved it and wanted more, its the effect we crave not where it comes from so with that in mind too much of anything is bad so ur frequancy of use is the root of ur nasal problems, you need to give ur nose/body time to recover inbetween those white lines for example instead of taking every day keep it for the weekend you'll have more to do, ive done coke now 20 years and get no problems with my nose because I give it time to recover at least 3 days doing nothing maybe cheeky line in the evening then on it like sonic come the weekend!!! Lol anyway hope my rabbiting can advise and help

The very first thing you should do is stop putting junk up your nose. It will never heal and your septum will eventually become mush. You can sniff some warm,normal saline solution and apply neosporin. Nothing else. Also,see a doctor.

Good luck~
