hi cockapoo2
i feel compelled to reply to you despite the hostile comments between worthless and i..
this is a forum for people affected by another person’s drug use rather than a place for drug users to obtain help. however it is difficult to ignore a genuine cry for help.
i see you ask about health issues relating to cocaine use. there are many and you can easily frighten yourself by googling them. my husband used to do that a lot when in active addiction. obviously the nose can be damaged, as can the heart and liver, increased risks of strokes and heart attacks. potential link to parkinsons. permanent damage to the brain. mental health issues, suicide. possible death by overdose or the body just giving up. however not all of these are certain, it depends on amounts, frequency, durations and overall duration of habit, as well as your own personal health. my husband used for 2.5 years and seems to have no permanent ill effects, despite nearly dying from it, alone, in the dark, on multiple occasions. lucky man!
you’ve expressed a desire to stop and i do suggest ca – it doesn’t work for everyone but it can do wonders. there are other ways. I’m sure worthless can advise!
i did pick up that you are completely alone in doing this. my husband was the same – only he knew the cause of the daily problems this habit was creating in this family. i can’t tell you strongly enough how much he wishes he’d told me sooner. i feel the same. when the addiction was in the dark it ruled him. once the truth started coming out we could deal with it together. i would totally recommend talking to someone in your life about this problem.
good luck x
