      I started taking Cocaine about a year and a half ago at first it was just weekends, then week days and soon before I realised I was taking it most days. I stopped taking it and was so proud of myself as hadn’t touched it for 3 weeks so was 3weeks clean..I was feeling better in myself, and felt like I had gained control of my life back and but then I went out one night and stupidly I relapsed and took some and I am so disappointed and angry in myself, I had got so far and now I have just ruined it. I feel so sad and so low about it.

      Loz – dont beat yourself up about it, youre bound to relapse at some point, its a normal part of recovery. Get back on track – I would personally avoid going out and drinking. Detach yourself from anyone/anywhere that potentially could cause you to relapse.

      You went 3 weeks without it which is amazing.. you can do this, go to the doctors and get some help and go to support groups thatll help.

      Get a hobby, read, go to the gym – avoid social situations where coke is likely to be present – just until you feel you have control.

      Good luck x

      Im ok thanks. But i left my gf in oct. And ive been litrally having once a week or every 2 week.. but im back with her now. And ive not had it for 2 week, plus i have an appointment with the drug help place were i live this month. Ive just had enough of it now. Being single and going out isnt good tbh. Coke is everywere now, even my 16 year old sons mates sell it on snap chat with prices and pics. Its crazy..
