How do you stop… how do you go from having a routine of doing cocaine often to stopping one day…. how do you not do it when you really want it, mean as in how do u stop yourself from thinking I want some and getting it cos its in your head and you want it and also its a routine where you do it often. How do you day just think im gonna get abit to not doing it. This is the hardest part

Dont beat yourself up about it for a start. Admitting you have a problem is a big start in recovery.

You need to delete every dealer out your phone or friends who take cocaine. Even family. Dont even hang around with coke users any more. You cant drink alcohol as this is a trigger for coke.

Avoid all trigger points, places you picked up.. pubs you have used in. Walk another way. Things that trigger u have coke with.

Your just stuck in a big hole and need to change your routine around. So do a weekly calander with daily task of new hobbies.. gym, read, walk, run, swim, decorate, build something.. anything u want. And stick to it! Tick each day off u do it as a goal you have achieved.

When u wake up, tell yourself you are just going to stay soba for today. Planing far ahead is too much.

I listen to a lot of podcast they help. Watching cocaine recovery stories on you tube help as well. Buy some books about ex addicts recovery stories. They help a lot .

I just bought a book called get clean but i havent even picked the book up yet. I hate reading … once i start reading ill get into it. And thats what i need to do… reading is also a hobby i suppose to take up time and take your mind off of wanting to get it …

Yes i agree u have to cut out any associate to do with it. But its so common most of my friends do it. Dont even need friends to do it. Get some and do it at home when you really got it in your head as its been such a routine for few years now. If u want it u get it. The hardest part is to stop that feeling of wanting it. Even dropping people out and being alone … if u want it u get it.

It is all about willpower and a strong mind to tell yourself no u want it cos its what ur used to but u dont need it. So hard x

Yes u are right im exactly the same as u i have cut everyone off and have it on my own. But you would have it alot more if u was with friends. Its all about just cutting it out as much as possible really.

Its like your getting tested all time.. your brain will put u in situations were u yourself would not go just so you get it. Your brain plays tricks with u because it wants coke.

[red1984]

Exactly so how do u stop your brain thinking that … so hard… i suppose once u train your mind to think something else it gets easier x
