Ok i have been sober for just over 2 years i was addicted to cocaine (snorting) i quit all by myself and thought i was ok up until now. Now i am getting cravings for it, i am now in a place where i just can not understand why i want it so much i can taste it my mouth is numb. I know that i will never do it again and i don't want to, but why do i feel like this? i feel like crap can some one help me please.

Hi Snuggle.

Welcome to SR.

Well done on your sober time. My addiction was to alcohol. I found quitting on my own impossible. Have you thought about a programme like NA?

Well i have been thinking about it...i am just trying to work out what may have caused this trigger to make me think like this again. At the moment its so bad my whole mouth is numb and my nose is burning. I am guessing that i am always going to have to battle with this all my life i just have to keep strong.

I found that if I work my programme as suggested (and not taking little bits of it and leaving the rest), the battle part fades. I hope this time will pass for you but maybe you could give it a shot. A good programme with lots of support helps me enourmously to lead a fulfilling sober life as opposed to just hanging on sometimes which really sucks.
