Does that make me any less of a person?

I used to use drugs, I liked banging coke for a while. I didn't sell my soul or end up in the streets. I did not have a full on addiction. I just don't feel like I am able to discuss this part of my life because doing drugs is not a favorable attribute. I don't know that I regret it either. It was just something that I did. That part of my life is behind me now and I have no future plans of using again, but sometimes I just want to talk about it, it's like my deep dark secret and no one knows about it. It is a part of me that I keep hidden, and maybe that is the problem, I don't like to keep secrets. Not like everyone needs to know but yeah.

You’re not obligated to share any part of your past that you don’t choose to. But [b]everybody[/b] has one. And people experiment with various things during their lives. Your experiences with drugs are not uncommon at all, and you didn’t become an addict, you put it aside and moved on with your life. It’s very admirable and speaks to your strength. Nothing to be ashamed of.
