Hiya hope you are OK?

I’m 2 months tommorow clean from coke, I decided to join CA 2 month ago after vowing I’d never join. But it’s helped me so much. But it’s early days. But all I can say it is working.

If he’s injecting coke it’s pretty bad, it’s obvious the snorting it isn’t enough – he wants a better high.

I don’t know him but I wouldn’t rule out anything else like crack or heroin with him injecting. But I don’t know him, so I could be wrong. But it does lead to this.

I think he himself needs to want to stop for himself again. He needs get away from everyone possible to do with drugs, delete everyone’s numbers and social media. Get a new number even, and he needs go back to the meetings and work the steps again. He did well the 1st time so it did work for him. The thing is after a few month even a year, we think we are OK and we can stay in a house we’re people drink, or talk with an old drug dealer and think we won’t get anything. But the fact is.. We are not. And this is why we have a sponsor and phone them in these situations.

I tried a hypnotist, its an easy way out thinking we are cured. I relapsed 2 week later. He has to want to quit, and get a good support network.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask me anything.
