Coke is certainly not a joke
Coke can imprison the addict and their loved ones emotionally and financially
It’s basically how much you are willing to take and give away
And if you think you can see a future then stay but after ten years with no change yet you have to expect that it won’t ?
If you are prepared to spend another ten years waiting for change that is your choice to make
My husband was a chronic coke user/addict and so were ALL his friends
I do not use coke and NONE of my friends are addicts
My husband tried to get me to use lots of times but I couldn’t see the fun or the point
He lied everyday and I genuinely thought he was telling the truth but it was just manipulation
That’s why I left
I couldn’t stand the disappearing/ turning off phone/begging forgiveness
The endless cycle of picking up the pieces
I didn’t want to hand my wages to a dealer
I didn’t have any compulsion to use coke or hang round with people off their faces
He used for 20 years and it came before, our marriage our children our home
He would spend every penny he had on drugs and had not one bit of remorse that I stood in line at the food bank whilst he smoked £200 to £400
One thing ruled his head – drugs
he would tell me I was the love of his life
He couldn’t live without me
He would kill himself if I left him
This was the last time he would use
I am going to sort myself out
He hated the crap and would never touch it again
Now he is on a psych ward still begging for coke off the doctors
The staff all thought I used because of association that made me feel so embarrassed and was just another validation that I has made the Right decision. I don’t want me or my children tarnished with any association to drugs and I don’t want them growing up tainted or thinking it’s normal or okay
So no coke is not funny it’s a very dangerous game to play
It destroys everything
