Hi mate, I hope you’re alright.
Thanks Lindy for mentioning me, it’s really humbling to know that people out there appreciate my posts on here.
I know it sounds patronising but honestly, be proud of yourself for even having the strength to come here and post looking for help. That’s a huge thing especially with cocaine addiction because how the addiction manipulates your brain to forget the damage pain it causes you so that you keep doing it.
I won’t bore you with an essay about myself and my addiction story but unfortunately (and it’s isn’t something to brag about) there’s not too much cocaine addiction wise that I can’t relate to. The only positive is that now I can try give advice to people which is basically what I wish someone had said to me when I was bad.
To best understand what’s going on with you to try give you the best advice possible (the bottom line though will always be join CA) but would you mind giving a better understanding of the whole picture? Or what aspects of life that it’s mainly affecting?
Do you work? Is it effecting that?
Do you have your own place or live with parents?
Who knows about your addiction?
Do you have a partner and do they know?
Do all of your friends get on it too when you all go out so it’s always there?
Has it caused financial issues etc?
Sorry if that’s alot of personal questions but you’ll probably know yourself all of those things are directly effected by cocaine addiction.
Until we speak again, just know that there is a better life out there waiting for you. There will be people out there and some who may surprise you who will support you. Don’t beat yourself up for anything you have done, you can’t change that. All that matters is that you are heading in the right direction and you are willing to try.
If you have any questions you want to ask me I will answer anything you want. I’m on here every few days at least and I’ll always get back to you.
You got this, the life you imagine living is just around the corner.
Stay strong and speak soon
