Do you know anyone that has been able to stop on their own without professional help?

I mean him disappearing for days and ignoring my calls and messages for up to a week, is that a sign of heavy use?

Thank you so much for your reply. My boyfriend does not have a complex mental health history or suicide attempts. He only had anxiety and depression which are clearly from the cocaine use. So I’m abit shocked on why the GP would prescribe him Valium, another addictive drug to overcome the cocaine withdrawal. Do you think something is odd here or is it just me? I have a feeling he lied to the GP and didn’t mention the drug use at all. What do you think? There was no mention of CA or rehab. Only 2 sessions with a psychologist which again I don’t even if that’s true or he made that up.

Basically, what I want to know is, is will power on its own enough to stop using? Combined with Valium prescription and 2 sessions with a psychologist? Since when is Valium a treatment to overcome cocaine addiction? Or am I missing something here.

He does admit he has a problem but he says it’s easy to stop and can do it by himself. He got prescribed Valium by his GP and said he went to 2 psychologist sessions and now he’s magically clean and sober. He attends gym now and keeps busy. Where as before he used to disappear for days and ignore my calls and messages for up to a week. Is it possible for him to get clean from cocaine that quick and that easy? Is valium and 2 psychologist sessions all it takes? I’m no expert but it seems to good to be true for some reason. Your opinion would be so helpful. I just want to know if I’m crazy or overthinking or is he really clean?

Omg I would love to know as well. Is it really possible? I would love to hear success stories just to give us hope. Is recovery permanent and life becomes beautiful after they stop or is it a daily battle they have to fight after they stop?

Thank you so much for your reply it definitely helps me and assures me that I’m not crazy. May I ask if you know whether it’s common or normal for a family doctor GP to prescribe Valium for cocaine addiction and withdrawal? Why would a doctor prescribe another highly addictive medication for cocaine witndrawal /addiction? He hasn’t not been to any rehab or treatment meetings whatsoever. It was simply prescribed to him by the family doctor.

He said he went to 2 sessions with a psychologist but I think that’s bullshit and is just saying that to me so I can get off his case.
