I wanted to stop because the comedowns from coke make you depressed for days and suicidal. Even when I just finished my last bag I felt like crying. It’s awful. It’s soo gripping. Plus your never really happy, the cost and so on.

The cravings you have and triggers, triggers are we’re for example, you drive past someone’s house we’re you used cocaine, you remember and it makes you want coke because it’s a memory of using there. So you have to avoid all triggers. Go another route. Say you picked up off a dealer at the corner shop. Go another shop.

If he joined CA you have peoples numbers like you and when u get cravings you phone them, and they talk you round and cravings go. That’s the best thing. Or do some activities to keep u busy.

It’s exactly like having a devil on your shoulder. Tell him get to a CA meeting on line and listen to people’s story’s. When he listens he will able to see the simularities in his story’s. And this helps. You have to download zoom 1st as all meetings are through zooms for covid.
