I take it your on about coke. Im going through coke probs now. And alcohol is the main trigger to get coke. Im lapsing once a month. I cant stand the stuff and im doing my best to quit..

The fact is how bad do you want to quit, and the obvious is that you cant drink anymore. You cant go out with anyone who has coke, have to delete all dealers numbers. And totally change your routine and life around.

Do you feel depressed and suicidal after it?

Don’t feel suicidal just garbage for the days after.

In the pub again after a bad day at work, see above. After it again. I love my partner but we both partake, tried talking but it’s not something I make any progress on. Lost again, same old story. Anyone been here?

Hi there. I think you know what you need to do, Hence you being on here. That’s good! At least you’ve recognised that you have a problem, that’s the first step in doing something to try to change it.

You said “in the pub after a bad day at work.” Maybe you need to find healthier ways of tackling when you’re feeling crap. Cocaine is a quick fix that in the long run makes you end up feeling worse.

I’d talk to your gf about stopping. Tbh if she won’t get onboard with you i’d seriously think about maybe ending it. Your health should be your number one priority and if she is using, the chances of you being able to just stop are slim due to the mental pull of the drug. Good luck!!

How often are you having it? If your having a bad day at work.. go to the gym and let some steam off.. or a bath and listen to some music.. going the pub and drinking is just going to make you want to get coke. Sometimes.. well most times.. its your brain playing tricks on you because it wants coke.. so your thinking ive had a bad day at work.. fuk it am going pub.. but your brain secretly knows you will get coke.

My ‘husband’ was the same.

‘Husband’ only sniffed when he was with family that partake or with his friends that he too said are like family. But they are only ‘coke friends/family’ not normal, real friends. My husband had a real life before he was introduced to these people. You sound so much like him, like he couldn’t not be with these people. You have to separate yourself from these friends if you want to stop. You can still have a social life without them as you said you can drink when you are abroad on holiday. It is a difficult choice, your health or your life with your friends. I’ve seen it, I have been there.

I wish you well.
