Hiya reuth, quite a few things, one I realised I was an addict even though I didn’t use every day once a week to once every few week.
The come downs from it causing bad depression and suicidal thoughts. Spending x amount of money when it could of gone on my kids. The same vicious circle.
Also I started using it without alcohol. And I couldn’t go on a night out without it.
I did councilling and got 3month clean. But I joined CA in Jan and that’s the best thing to beat it. Connecting with other addicts or ex addicts and learn from then how they did it.
I wanted to do it for myself. I hate the stuff but when them thoughts come in to get some it’s hard. That’s why u ring another person up out the meetings and talk and it gets rid of your cravings.
You have to really want to quit if you want to. No 1 can force you to. You can go on at him all day. It won’t work, until he wants to.
You will be surprised who has it, there are doctors on the meetings with coke problems. It’s everywhere and one advice I would give someone. Is to never ever try it!
If he wants to stop he needs to limit the ways he can get it, and do new things in his life. Eat healthy. Cut everyone off who uses. Even family. Delete there nums, or get a new sim card.
Can’t drink alcohol ever again aswell as this is the main trigger to use also.
He needs to turn his life around with good honest values, stay fresh and positive, and meditate, and focus on new hobbies.
Feel free to ask me anything
