I don't know if this is the right sub but I'll give it a go.
New years happend and I tried coke for the first time I had fun and the coke was great, never doing it agian though. As my friends and I took the coke people at the party noticed and suddenly everyone knew. Before we did the coke we agreed that nobody should know.
I really don't know what we were thinking haha.
My real struggle is that a lot of my close friends were at the same party as me and drugs is something we don't do or talk about. I'm really worried that my reputation is going to be "a drug user"
I would love some recommendations how to tell my friends that I'm stil the person I've always been and that I am not going down a dark path.
Any similar stories or experience tips would be greatly appreciated.
Also, happy new years!
EDIT: Thanks for the kind responses it definitely made me feel better. I've talked to some of my friends and most of the seem cool. And so far I'm doing much better than yesterday.
