Not sure the proper etiquette here, RE: Coke Nose.

Covid isolation has been hard on everyone, but those who had bad habits before it began, probably were in for a life change since they didn't have healthy habits to begin with. Just saw a picture of someone I hadn't seen since before Covid. And undeniably, she has a coke nose. For one thing, I've known her since I was very young and even with age creeping up on us, that kind of change is impossible to mistake for anything else.

I haven't seen her in person, but the day might come when it happens. I imagine my response is to pretend I don't see it at all. I will just say this: For someone who has lived around people who are aware of how they look and who always make an effort to present themselves just so, it just goes to show you what the drug has done to her that she thinks she can hide this. And it's doubly sad to think that the circles in which we once ran together would be one where she could nurse her habit.

I grow more confuse each day, as I see the results of everyone's personal journey wind down. It makes me realize how much of my youth was lived in an illusion.

2. Long term coke users do tremendous damage to the internal parts of their nose.

I think the cartilage in their nose disintegrates. Anyway, the areas over the nostrils look sunken, which makes the tip of the nose stand out oddly.

i thought she had powder lining her nostrils or something.

5. I am also aware that some people

look for those who have runny noses, sniff or blow a lot. I was asked by someone once about that because I have a constant runny nose, mostly from allergies but it just is runny for some reason. Did I ever do coke? Of course, I was always game to try something at least once and it was everywhere, but not as a habit and hardly enough to really even consider it and it long long long ago. Still I drip and sniff.

Anyway, I have seen people talked about because of sniffing and blowing before as well as the other symptoms.

6. Disintegration of cartilage. Seems to pull up the upper lip, ala tRump sons

Dianne Westerbrook admitted cocaine usage. However, tRump sons' looks might be congenital.
