I know how you feel. Dont beat yourself up. You can do this.
1st off im a coke addict.. my addiction is once every couple of week. But new year i hit rock bottom. I quit for 2 month then lapsed. I quit another 6 week then lapsed this week. But im back on being clean. It gets easier. Ill tell you how i do it. And even tho i lapse. Im not relapsing were im on it each week. Its just blips im having and its about knowing when your lapse is happening.
Can i just ask.. you how much you use? How often? Are you living on your own? Do you work?.
This is going to be long because i really want to help you. I know what you feel like.
1st of delete every coke dealer , friend family member, work colleague to do with coke out your phone right now and block them!
2nd. Delete every social media app now. You dont need them and they make you worse seeing peoples fake happy lifes and dealers on there.
3rd. Dont drink alcohol.. this is a main trigger for coke using. Stay away from pubs, partys, bbqs in summer, anywere were there is alcohol.
4th. Start listening to coke annonymous tapes on you tube.. rusell.brand has a few and its good listening to other people who struggle like us.
5th. Chang your whole routine upside down, go the gym, go for adventurous walks, take up new hobbies, set yourself some goals.. i took up reading, which helped.
6th. I cant recomend this lady enough on you tube shes called louise clarke her videos on crack-cocaine part123.. watch them in order.. she is an expert, she will make you aware of coke and how to beat. I can not recomend her enough! She even recommends these chinese herb tabs that beat cravings.
7th. There is an app called pocket rehab. I cannot recomend this enough as well. Download it! Its were addicts and ex help each other out with there problems. And if you think you are going to use. You press an emergency button and it puts you through to an addict to talk to.. who supports you.
Try and order some books on addiction, meditation. Stay focused. If you get cravings tell them to go away. Tell your self the drug is a violent ex.. who beat you and he wants you back! Do you want to go back there?? Keep saying no to yourself and the cravings will go after 30 mins.
If you need any help or your struggling and need someone to talk to. My num is [ number removed] or email

You dont have to if you dont want to. I could be some crazy randomer. But ive got a partner , 4 kids, a good job. And i need to help people as much as i need help. If not message me on here, ill get some links for you for some prevention sites. Good luck, and you can do this.
Coming down off it sends me suicidal. And for days you feel down. Its a vicous circle.
But hitting rock bottom is good. Theres only 1 way up now. He needs ask for help and admit hes an addict. Tell him and you watch louise clarke on you tube on crack-cocaine part 123. Shes great and ive learned alot from her.. she will help you how to quit and how long it takes. And how sneaky the drug and disease as it is one works.
What are u an addict to?
Im so sorry about your son and daughter. No mother should go through this. I have no experience with heroin. But id tell him get some help now. The help is there. Tell him download an app called pocket rehab. There are heroin addicts on there that help each other out. He must know what he will do to you , if you lose another child. Make him aware of that. Which im sure you have. I hope you get it sorted. Good luck
Your in a tough situation.. you best off saying no more alcohol.. no more coke thats it now. Hes got to make an effort to sort himself. Im not defending him here.. but that stuff is horrible and its every were. Every toilet in every pub some 1 is doing it. I wish i never seen the stuff. But i think personally.. sit him down and lay some ground rules. But that is entirely up to u. I lapsed at xmas.. its all the beer..
It is only just a blip. Ive cut every one off. But the urges are bad like your son says. He just needs to plan ahead and know when they are coming.
Tell him to download that app. He can press an emergency button anytime he thinks hes going to use and it puts u to another addict or ex.. who talks you round. Its great. Good luck
Good luck.. but he needs stay away from everyone and just spend time with you and away from alcohol. Thats if u can put up with him. Go for walks. Or a break in the lakes. 200 quid on coke can pay for the lakes for some refreshing thinking.
Hes my num [number removed] just txt me or phone whenever you want mate. Im here to help and vice versa. If my nuber does not come up here is my email. And ill give it you there [email removed]
Whats he an addict of?
Hi flowerbud. Im going through coke problems at the min. I cant stand the stuff and i am doing my best to quit it. Since new years eve i lapsed twice. I st after 8 week clean the 6 week clean which was this friday..
1st off the horse is not just gonna stop his addiction.. but it will help alot to give him a hobbie to distract him self.
This is what i do to stop and it helps alot.
Delete every dealer, friend ,family member out my phone who has coke. Delete facebook, insta all social apps.
Quit drinking alcohol,! This is the main trigger for using coke. Take up new hobbies to distract you. I did reading and it helped me alot.
If he still goes in a circle were they use. He is going to use.
He needs to stay in a the weekends if that is when he is useing.
Tell him to watch louise clarke on you tube on crack cocaine part 123. She will help him and you a great deal on how to quit.
He needs to stop drinking totally.. coke and alcohol together form another drug in the body.. i forgot whats its called.. but drinking makes you want to get coke. Its a trigger for getting coke.
He may start arguments before getting coke.. this is called emotional relapse.. its his brain wanting coke.. and is playing mental games with him.. and you create situations that are not there as an excuse to go and pick up..
If hes being nasty with his mouth and that. Just give him some ground rules or your leaving. Tell him no more alcohol at least for a few month. Theres a great app called pocket rehab. Tell him down load that.
Does he want to quit.
Hi kindred. Im like your bf and its quite sad being downstairs on your own doing it. I thought it was just me like this. But the more i learn and see. There are alot like him and me. Its a disease at the end of the day and i hate the stuff.
Ive lapsed twice this year.. once after 2 month the next after 6 week. Im absolutly gutted. But im back sorting myself out now.
Your bf needs to delete all coke dealers out of his phone. All friends that take the stuff. Stay away from alcohol as this triggers it. Ive done so much to stop and it works. Its just these little triggers that set the lapse off. Does he want to quit?
Hi joanne.. i have the same problem as your son. But i hate coke. And i quit on new years ever. Then lapsed 2 month after.. then lapsed 6 week later which was this friday..
The main thing is joanne.. does your son want to quit? He needs be 100% that he wants to. This is the start he needs.
The next and this is what i do and it helps.
Delete every coke dealer, friends who have coke, family who have coke out his phone. Block.them as well.
Dont drink alcohol as this is a main trigger for picking coke up. Stay away from pubs, partys, house partys.
He will need to take hobbies up to keep him focused.
Watch louise clarke on you tube on crack-cocaine part 123 shes helped me alot watching her videos. .
Its ok to kick your son out. But do you want to see him get worse? If hes robbing off you.. fair enough.. but he needs support and guidence . But thats my own opinion. Maybe lay some ground rules. Like.. he has to stay in fri and sats for a month just so he gets off it. Just an idea. Good luck ask me anything if you need help
