alcohol/cocaine addict seeking sobriety
Hey guys, haven't posted here before, just found a thread and everyone seemed real nice so I thought I'd give it a try...
I am only 21 years old. I can't remember the last time I've gone a day without at least a couple beers in the past 2 - 2.5 years. I have done cocaine daily for the past 3 months or so. Before that I had only done cocaine occasionally, but lately it has been majorly escalating. In the past week and a half alone I have spent $2000 CAD on cocaine, in various cities. I could not even begin to count what I spent on alcohol. Alcohol has been a huge problem in my life since I was young, and the first time I got arrested I was 16, because I was drunk and thought it was a good idea to steal a bottle of alcohol. Since then, I have made many obscenely foolish and/or outright stupid decisions while drunk, including ones where I have gotten myself beaten very badly.
I just don't know where to go or what to do, I live in a small town with zero NA or AA meetings and most people I know are an alcoholic (my friends and family included) and very many of them abuse cocaine frequently.
Any advice?

Also, to add, my problems began escalating especially after i began working for a high wage in the oilfield about four or five months ago. Now, even making what I do, I'm finding myself near broke...

Welcome to the Forum clutchy!! I wouldn't worry too much about all the stuff that's in the past, most of us have many of those.
The important thing is your 21, you came online to an addiction Forum, and that is an amazing step forward, you'll find plenty of support here!

Welcome clutchy. I think the most important question is do you REALLY WANT TO QUIT drinking and drugs. Because if you do then you have a great chance of doing that and turning your life around and becoming the person you want to be. Congratulations on the job by the way. Stick around and keep us posted
