Hiya, hope you are OK. I’m 40 days clean from coke now and I’m trying my hardest to quit. It’s not good seeing your dad like that, I know because I have done it to my kids. I really do hate the stuff and what it does to familys. It’s like having a devil on your shoulder.
Im Struggling today and know I can’t give up and go back how I was. I joined CA 40 days ago and my life has changed for the better and I’m a lot stronger, healthier and happier.
Does your dad want to quit?
He really does need to want to, because otherwise he will just keep using. Most addicts need to hit rock bottom. I’ve had a few. The 1 I had 40days ago was that I just felt down for 4days, suicidal, my heart was pounding none stop with anxiety. I’m only 37, when will it end I thought?.
Cocaine is literally everywhere in the UK now, you would be suprised who takes it. Just don’t ever try it. That’s my advice to any1.
What help has he tried getting? Tell him there are a lot of CA meetings online now through zoom. I go on one every day. I listen to addiction recovery stories on you tube and podcast, I’ve took up meditation and running. I feel so much happier. I just have no confidence in speaking in these meetings and I know it’s a big part of it.
Feel free to ask me anything. Just have a good quiet word with him tell him your worried and there is help out there. I’m sure you already have though, as you wouldn’t be here. But I hope it works out for you.
