    DOOM: 'Corporate life turned me into a cocaine addict'

    "A flourishing career brought with it demands that took a major toll on Hayley Field's mind and body – until she found her balance in midlife

    When I entered the corporate workplace in my mid-20s, I enjoyed the comfortable lifestyle it brought with it. It was gratifying to be able to buy nice clothes and shoes and handbags; to be able to park a nice car in the company car park.

    I was working in project management in Herefordshire and found myself quickly gaining more and more responsibility at a relatively young age. But the demands of the job brought with them an increasing amount of stress. I had become quite ambitious, but more because I felt that was how I ought to be than because it made me happy.

    Looking back, I can see that I wasn’t happy at all; I was really beginning to struggle. I had no balance in my life as it had become all about work. The corporate culture I found myself in was one in which if you weren’t working until late at night, then you weren’t working enough. There was an expectation you would put in 12-hour days and when there was a deadline looming I effectively had no choice but to stay at my desk until late into the evening. It was what everyone did.

    To deal with the stress of the job, I started using cocaine. At first only it was only occasional, to wind down when I got home. But after a while I was doing it every day. "

    Anybody on here would want to share their stories then? I'll start - as of now I never used illegal drugs, can take polygraph test if necessary.

          3 gramms per day, it's like a kilo per year!

            having a job that can allow you to afford a 3g per day habit and that you can also do while on coke is the surprising part to me.

                  Project managers are clueless and talk nonsense most days, so no one would notice the difference.

                    but still, 1g is 30-40£ or at least what google says. I thought it would be more than that for good quality.

                    £100pd, 3k per month. if you add 3k on top for food accommodation etc you would need at least 120k salary to be able to manage it.
                    and you are more likely to do more during the weekend and have a lifestyle that matches it.

                    She either has an only fans or sugar daddy(but then she is only a degenerate with a hobby job) or it is total BS.
