Gabor mate is great to listen to. And I beleive alot of what he says. Highly recommend him.
Thanks so much for that, it’s nice to hear ❤️ glad your son is doing great. It’s funny you say that because I asked my mum this week does she think I have adhd haha. Because people always ask if I have it and a few other things.
Tbh a lot of people have anxiety issues these days. I know u do. Social media doesn’t help 1 bit. And it effects my 11 year old girl. But it’s hard to get her off it as everyone is on it.
So glad your son is doing well. I must admit it does get easier although I did have a using dream the other night. But I just prayed on it.
No il give kulstars story a read later when I get in. Hope your have a lovely weekend. Good to hear from u x
Hey lindy I went awol again lol but I’m over 7 month clean now doing well. How’s you and your son? Hope your OK x
Hey la1986 hope your OK.. I’m 7 month clean from cocaine now. After 12 years of using. I ended up using on my own, got kicked out last year ect.. It just went worse and worse. I tried everything to quit. Hypnotist, deleted nums, cut people off, councilling ect.. And it worked a bit.
So for start, delete all nums, cut everyone off who uses. Even come off social media. It’s not good for your mental health.
So what has got me 7 month clean is joining cocaine anonymous. I can not tell u how much this programme works. Go to a local meeting near you. And stick to it! U might not like at 1st.but keep going. You can down load zoom. And zoom c. A meetings at home. Get a sponsor and work the 12 steps. Your life will get better I promise you this so much. Don’t be put off by the god aspect of it all. I meditate each day, I pray and I’m stronger mentally and never been happier in my life.
If u need help how to set zoom up and how the meetings are on just ask.
But the main thing is you need to want to quit. Cut everything off and anyone to do with coke.you can’t drink again. This leads to using. Start some new hobbies ect..
I see doctors in the meetings and famous people. So do not feel embarrassed. Just trust me what I’m saying and stick to it if u want your life back.. Feel free to ask me anything
Thanks I will do. Yes she is. She still worrys like mad. But I guess it understandable. Have a lovely weekend x

Thats good to hear ????
It’s true that the meetings are our medicine and the things that go with it, because this is what keeps us clean. Sounds like your son has really knuckled down. And less worry for you which is good.
It’s good that he’s helping others now. I’m still on my step 4 lol. It’s taking a while. Lol
Hiya lindy, hope your well. Ye I’ve just been neglecting this recently and I shouldn’t, I’ve just been mad busy. But it’s no excuse to come on here. I’m still doing well, just gone a bit lazy with c.a which isn’t good but I have no thoughts of using. But I need to up my game again as I no where it leads to. That’s why I’ve come back on here.
Thanks so much for your kind words????
Really glad your son is doing well❤️ hope your well to. Which part of the UK is he from. Again. X
Ye I remember you wasn’t to sure if it was the same georgia. Lol
Hope your well. Ye he just needs find new mates that don’t use tbh. And do some new hobbies just with you, weekends away together keeping busy. Things like that.
Well.. She kicked me out last year in May. I. Got 4month clean and relapsed had a bad argument, and said some nasty things. Which I own up to. I was living in a shared accom because of covid. My mum said go hers but I needed my own space.
But now I’ve got my own 2 bed flat done it up really nice. 6 month clean now. I work for the Bank Mon to fri. And I do care work on Sundays for extra money and it helps me with recovery, and I get a lot of gratitude from it.
Life’s good now. Really good. I just think it was a toxic relationship and wasn’t good at all. Really good to hear from u.
Hiya gerorgia hope your OK, I’m 6 month clean now from coke. The best clean time I’ve got in 12 year of using. I joined cocaine anonymous and do the meetings and it’s the beta thing I ever did.
Your partner saying mixing with other addicts would influence is rubbish really, because he’s getting influenced anyway with out them, as he is still using. The other addicts are what he needs for support and to ring each day. This is major in keeping clean in talking to other addicts who can support you. Regarding it was negative, it’s not all sunshine and roses, so he should know its about feeling the power and pain from the shares and what’s its like if we relapse ect.. The pain we caused to family ect.. And it reminds us what is waiting for us if we use again.
I just think he needs to keep trying and not give up, and ignore what his head is telling him negative.
6 days away also on coke while u and his daughter are at home, ain’t good at all. And other than C. A there is just rehab left.
It’s OK for people to say stick with him, but they are not in your position, if you do stay with him, make sure he puts the effort in, give him set rules, no staying out ect.. No drinking, and my opinion is to go meetings and get a sponsor and work the 12 steps.
Hand on heart he will keep relapsing if he does not work a programme or rehab.
He needs to cut everyone off, maybe change his number, and the main thing is he really needs to want it. Hope this helps.
That’s good to hear. I guess we’re all have are bad days. Does he do zoom meetings aswell?
You can’t force him to go to a health place. He needs to do it for himself. I got off it by joining cocaine anonymous and I do meetings in my area in Manchester, and on zoom. If you tell me what area you are from I’ll find out the days and times and we’re they are on near u and put it on here. Then he needs to bet a sponsor and work the 12 steps. It’s worth having a little read on Google. If u have never heard of C. A and the 12 steps. But I promise you this. If your son really wants to.stop.. This programme will help him.
Bloody hell a year clean! It’s mad how much things change after a year. I must of been on here a few year now and remember you sharing about him struggling at the beginning.
I bet your so proud of him.im happy for you both. Really am.
He should take u out for a nice meal to celebrate and water haha x
Hey lindy hope your doing well. Hows your son doing? Hope he’s doing well still.
Well it’s good he’s doing meetings., but he isn’t sticking to them. Me personally I wouldn’t give him another penny. Probably needs tough love now. But that’s up to you. Does he live with you?
