Hey Paul – I’ve tried typing this a few times and decided on answering your subject question as I’m guessing thats the main answer you are looking for?
Do cocaine addicts change? The answer is YES. Speaking from previous addiction (crack cocaine for 2.5 years with £20k of debt) I one day just decided enough was enough and stopped, sure it went a bit back and forth as in relapse however each time I did just made me realise how I silly I was being and gave me more encouragement and belief in myself to stop. I now have two beautiful children, a wife, a home, a good job and finances are “better” 🙂
Just know that people do change, they have to want it, but things CAN change.
Without the support of my girlfriend at the time and family being there is no way I would have been able to get out, so really where I am today is owed to them and they are the true heroes. A lot of people (who know) give me a lot of credit for kicking the habit, little do they know that without people like yourself who stand by and support people with drug and mental issues are the ones that really do make the difference and open up the possibility for change.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that it may feel that you’re not getting anywhere right now or helping in any way, but I promise you, you are, just by being there.
