Good afternoon I really need some advice please my middle Son is 21 years old, I feel like he has an addicted personality he seems too be drinking most days and he appears too have a cocaine habit, he is working but every weekend he blows the lot, he has started giving me keep every week, but what my problem is apart from all that is he wants too get a horse as he says it will focus him towards the horse and not spend all his money on drink and Drugs, I so want too believe it will help, but I don’t want a horse too suffer, please can I have some help on this, Thank you

Hi flowerbud. Im going through coke problems at the min. I cant stand the stuff and i am doing my best to quit it. Since new years eve i lapsed twice. I st after 8 week clean the 6 week clean which was this friday..
1st off the horse is not just gonna stop his addiction.. but it will help alot to give him a hobbie to distract him self.
This is what i do to stop and it helps alot.
Delete every dealer, friend ,family member out my phone who has coke. Delete facebook, insta all social apps.
Quit drinking alcohol,! This is the main trigger for using coke. Take up new hobbies to distract you. I did reading and it helped me alot.
If he still goes in a circle were they use. He is going to use.
He needs to stay in a the weekends if that is when he is useing.
Tell him to watch louise clarke on you tube on crack cocaine part 123. She will help him and you a great deal on how to quit.
