Hi Jamie, welcome to the forum, thank you for sharing your story with us.

I think that you have taken a step to recovery by admitting that you have an addiction and are seeking support. You have already been clean for 6 months so you know that you can do it.

My son is 29 and has alcohol and cocaine addictions (the alcohol triggers the need for cocaine).

He is currently in early recovery- almost 6 months, but he couldn’t have done it without the help of AA and CA fellowship groups.

Of course, you need to have a strong will to battle this evil drug that seeks to destroy everything in its path!

These guys have been so supportive to my son. He has a sponsor and is working the 12 steps. He’s now got to the stage where he is helping others, im so proud of him for getting this far ❤.

Perhaps you could scroll back and read Danman83 posts as he is a person in recovery and gives good advice and support? Relapses are to be expected, they are part of the road to recovery.

I wish you well my friend, stay in touch here and let us know how you’re doing. Please don’t let this evil drug destroy another life and family- we’ve been to hell and back .

Stay strong ????

Lx

Thank you, I have been looking at ca it definitely seems the way forward definitely going to register.

Will have good read of other people’s post, it be great to do it it’s just a evil drug that keeps people coming back remember the days when I was 18 and we could share half a gram and go to bed you don’t realise what it turns in to I can do so much now it’s scary really.

Hi Jamie, I’m so glad to hear that you’re going to register at CA.

This drug is evil. It reels you in – without you realising it. My son’s friends were using it years ago over a weekend, but he has an addictive personality which means, once he starts, he can’t switch off! Unlike his friends who could take it or leave it.

It just snowballed from him using , disappearing for days, turning up, looking like s**t. Sleep for days, not eating, not going to work running up large debt etc, just a vicious cycle of addiction.

It upsets those closest- do you have a partner? Do they know?

One of the mums on the forum has lost her son to addiction recently. So yes, it’s very scary and a very dangerous drug, if you let it take over your life.

It’s the weekend Jamie, you take care, stay strong and seek help through CA.

Lx ❤
