I wasn't trying to justify that coke is better than crack, just clearing up the misconception of what drug I was using. But yes, it really doesn't matter to be frank. Like you said, "hard drugs are hard drugs".
I didn't replace my cocaine addiction with religion. That is another misconception. I was saved from my former life, by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17
Religion never saves anybody, it's the man in the glory that saves. The risen Christ. Hallelujah!
Also I blame the devil because he is the one who deceives the whole world. I was deceived into believing that my former life was all good. But little did I know I was on a fast track to hell. But thanks be to God that He loved me and He gave His Son to die for me. So now that I have trusted in the one in whom He sent, I have received forgivness of sins and eternal life. I mean I can shout for JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A GIFT AND A HOPE. It doesn't get any better than that my friend.
