Hiya sunny,
I hope you are OK. I my self have a cocaine addiction. I’ve been using 12 year. But realised in the last 7 year I guess I was an addict. I never used everyday, just weekends, or every few week. Or months without sometimes. Not alot but I did.
I joined cocaine anonymous boxing day 2021. I just had enough. The depression and feeling suicidal for days after using. It effects your mental health so much.
I got 4 month clean then got kicked out after relapsing. Was in a shared accom for 6 month. Now I’m in a 2 bed flat. I’ve had a couple of relapses. But I have anew sponsor now and working the steps in C. A, and now I’m 3 week clean.
It’s so hard to avoid coke as it is everywhere. And it’s highly addictive.
For your son to quit he needs to want to for himself. He needs to hit his rock bottom where he’s just had enuff and he admits he is an addict. Then that’s the perfect foundation to get clean.
He needs to cut everyone who uses out of his life, get a new phone number, never drink as this is a big trigger. Avoid triggers and places. Avoid women for a while. And JOIN CA and get to some meetings.
And meet people like him and connect with them.
But this is all down to if he wants to stop. Does he want to stop?
