I had the same mindset, but a alcohol and cocaine come in hand in hand, everyone says the same in the meetings. I have finally admitted that I have to give up alcohol if I want to quit cocaine. So I can’t ever drink again even though I am not an alcoholic. Drinking alcohol leads to wanting cocaine so much. That’s why everyone is on it in every pub and club. Then u start relying on this with out alcohol like I did.
You can search in Google.. Cocaine anonymous meetings in UK. And loads come up, most are online now, u just need to download zoom. What area are u from? You have some from areas, but as they are on zoom you can go on any meeting. This is because of the pandemic. But he really needs to want to quit for himself to do this.
That we’re he was in hospital, if he used and that caused him to be in hospital or was a few days before, I don’t know if u know, but when cocaine is wearing off basically an hour after using, it makes you depressed and suicidal, then the nxt few days you say I’m never doing it again, and then come Friday.. Your buying it again, all you think about is the positives of coke. Then depressed and suicidal again Monday. It’s a big vicious circle. But joining CA helps and you talk to addicts each day.
