Hey mate.. im in exactly same situation as you! Im clean from coke now for 5 week. And its working what im doing.
Ill tell you my story 1st mate, and then what im doing to fix this.
It started 8 year ago.. i always said id never touch coke.. yet i did. I had it going out everytime, then i stopped going out.. because i had it going out, it stayed with me staying in! So for the last 5 year say.. id been having it once every couple.of week..mainly on a friday after ive had a drink.some times once a week. I never thought i had a problem tbh.. then 2 year i admitted i did. And had 8 councilling sessions and stopped for 3 month.. i thought i was ok then, got pissed and back addicted.
This new year was the last straw for me. Coming down off it, is the worse thing ever! It sends me suicidal and depressed. I was crying one morn off my head. And text my mum for help
Ive been having it in the house on my own! Pretty sad really. But id get one.. by the end of the night be 3 or 4.. in bed all day next day. Feeling down all week at work. Ive got 4 kids. Ive got a good job. Good standard. My kids are well behaved. And this shit ruins familys.
Now this is how im fixing it. And its working. Trust me you 100 % need to do the most of these, if u really want to quit!
1. Admit you have a problem, you are addicted, and want help.
2. Delete every one out of your phone book to do with coke, stay away from them, spend time with the family instead, delete facebook!.
3. Start some hobbies, reading ,gym ,walking, decorating. Ect.ect.
4. Buy some books on coke addiction, watch some videos on you tube about peoples addiction. It helps.
5. Ask for help.no matter what you need it. Dont be ashamed.
Thats just a few, but other things ive done mate.. is you tube louise clark crack-cocaine part 123.. shes an expert and studied addiction since 1991.. she knows a lot of stuff and it will help you! Ive bought her books its great. I can send it you if you want?.
But if you want to stop its hard.. you have to make sacrifices. But i feel a lot better and fresher..
What ive learned.. if u have had coke for 6 month, weather its only once a month for 6 month.. your addicted.
You need to look up, emotional, mental and physical relapse. If you read this you can prevent having it..and the main thing for me
Is dont take take any alcohol! It triggers cravings so much! Just ask mate if u need out.
