Hi there, I hope your OK. I’m 2.5 months clean now from cocaine. So I can give you some help I hope.
So im 38, been on coke for 12 years. For roughly the last 7 years I’d say I’ve done everything to try and quit, councilling, hypnosis, self will and so on. And don’t get me wrong it worked for a few month or week. But cocaine addiction is like a devil on your shoulder.
It has massive side effects of depression and suicidal thoughts.
So basically I could finish using at 3am and by 4am I’m feeling suicidal. And can feel like this for days. It’s crazy why we choose to keep. Using when it makes us feel like this.
Last year I joined cocaine anonymous. It’s been the best thing I’ve ever done. I got a sponsor and I’m working the 12 steps. I phone other ex addicts each day which keeps me clean. I go to face to face meetings and I do zoom meetings. I’ve got a load new mates. My life is so much better, I’ve never felt happier.
And I work a good programme.
Now for your son to get better. He needs to want to quit for himself. You can’t force him. He needs to hit rock bottom. Which he sounds like he has. He needs to delete all dealers numbers, family and friends who use. Come of social media. Get a new number. Start doing new hobbies, walking, gym, reading can be anything he wants. A new healthy life style to get mentally strong. And get to a meeting. He can’t have alcohol again as well as this leads to coke.
He’s gonna hate his life right now. Because that’s what coke does to you. He needs to believe in himself and set some short term goals. And cut everything off that’s no good for him. He will get there if he puts the effort in. And I promise he will feel so much happier. That’s only a small amount of what I can say for now. Hope this helps. Feel. Free to ask me anything
