Michelle is right mate. This is the 1st step in getting better. So whats you story?
To be honest your brain tricks you in to wanting it..so you having a bad week your brain is making it an excuse to get some, because it wants it. Its called emotional relapse.. you can also cause arguments with your partner as an excuse to go get some. Its about knowing when these triggers come and how to prepare for them. So if your feeling stressed. Go for a long walk. Or paint or listen to some music with headphones or meditate. I know its easier said than done.
But after emotional comes mental relapse, were you start to think about using and how good it feels or things to do with coke. And then its physical relaspe. Were you end up getting it.
If you change your mindset at emotional and mental. You wont get it. Emotional relapse is pretty mad because your not even thinking about coke.. it could just be road rage or something bothering you and you want to relax. But really.. its your brain tricking you in to getting coke.
I dont blame you. Just keep doing what you are doing. Todays society with cocaine and other drugs is mental. People sell it on snap chat now. Its crazy
Well at least its a start. But when he comes out he needs just stay away from everyone really who he knows,who does drugs. Hope it goes well for you.
My mate is bad on heroin and is really not looking good. But he told me he avoids everyone because he doesnt want people to see him like this. It could be that as well.
When hes ready hopefully he will come round. Ive read a book on 1 guy who was a coke addict for 24 year and is 11 year clean now.. and he lost everything. Some people have to really hit rock bottom or lose someone to realise. Hope your ok anyway.
You can just go and listen from what ive been told. You dont get forced into speaking if you dont want to. But i guess its better to let things out than in. They are all in the same boat as you. I wouldnt worry.
If you want to go to a meeting you have nothing to lose.. whats 1 hour of meeting new people , when your off your head for hours then going on a downer.
Just try and stay positive and believe in your self. Try and go out with people that dont use or family that dont.
I wouldnt worry about not being liked. Your there for help, and there is always someone else who has a worse story than yours, and your there to help people aswell. Thats part of recovery, to help each other. Dont worry about confidence. Majority of people there wont have confidence, i havent. Id go to one. But its hard working it around work and that.
If you feel lonely because you now have cut people off. Try new things now. Whether you are confident or not, and good things will eventually come to you. Just believe in yourself. Just get past that 1st hurdle.
Hiya michelle. The problem is with coke is that you can be going pubs having it, house partys for months or years. Then you stop going out, but by then your addicted. Then thats why you have it in the house. If u have had it for 6 months even if its once a month. Your addicted.
I sort of have it under control were im having once every 3 or 4 weeks. You need to do a daily plan now and put some new daily or weekly hobbies down.
If your serious about quitting. You cant have alcohol again. Simple as. Or while in the house. If your not too bothered using when on a night out.
I also listen to cocaine recovery stories on podcast. They help alot. Ive took up reading, and i go to the gym more.
Also watch louise clarke on you tube her videos on crack cocaine part 123. I cant recomend her enough. Shes an expert on this and will help you to quit. I bought her book as well which is great.
Pocket rehab is a good app aswell.
Even though we are not using everyday. Or selling or robbing people for drugs:we are addicts.
Does your bf want to stop?
Hope your ok.. but he really does need want to do it for himself. I bet it is heartbreaking watching your son like this. No one wants that happen to there children. Can he go to rehab if he wants to?
How old is your son?
I have a problem with coke and im lapsing every 3 to 4 weeks.
When you are coming down off coke it can make you suicidal and really really down, this is because you have used all your dopamine up from your brain, when on a high. And when the coke wears off u have none left and suicidal thoughts kick in. Dopamine is what makes us think happy thoughts and balanced.
Your son has to want to quit if you want him to stop. Its hard but there are a lot of ways to stop. One is no drinking alcohol as this is a main trigger for coke. And another is to delete all friends numbers and coke dealers who take coke.
There are so many people on coke now. Its in every pub, girls are as bad as lads on it aswell.
Its a nasty repetative circle being on coke.
Id just make your son aware of how bad it is, until he wants to stop himself.
Your a cocaine addict mate. Its simple as that. And james said ..you need to get rid of everyone out of your life to do with coke. And never drink at all. And also take up new hobbies. Believe me its hard
You need to cut off all your mates and dealers to do with coke for a start. Dont drink anymore. This is a major trigger for to get coke. Also take up some new hobbies and replace them with your current routine. Its hard. And ive had enough of it tbh. I went out this weekend. And litrally everyone is on it. You can not get away from it, unless you shut yourself away from everyone. And girls are on it as much as lads.
Im same as u michelle and im lapsing once every 3 week. Again its at the weekend. There is no way on earth you are going to go your mates and watch them use and drink without doing it yourself. Its impossible. So you either cut your mates off when they are using or dont. It sends me on the worse downer ever coming off coke. It takes me about 3 days to fully recover.
U need to cut everyone off to do with coke tbh. Why do you want to quit?
And heroin is a slippery slope. Id leave him to his own problems.
Well he has got a problem. And if was you id block his num and off social media and move on and fast! Yes it will be hard at 1st. But you dont need this shite in your life and you will find some 1 better. 🙂
