new here ... yay

My name is Jamie. I started drinking quite young the graduated to "soft" drugs. It was in the '90s that I discovered cocaine. Around the mid nineties I as introduced to crack. I don't think I've gone a day since without thinking about if not smoking. I started popping into the cafe chart room almost 15 years ago. I've never stayed clean for any length of time and at this point I'm not sure what will become of me. I have no idea what I should do I know I'm dying but I can't stop. I've tried everything I could think of the solve this problem and it just never ends. I'd rather die than keep on the way I am. Just don't know what to do. I'm so tired of fighting this and losing every stinking time.

Hi Jamie. Welcome. I'm an alcohol only addict but my husband is an alcoholic/crack addict. I've watched his struggles to get and stay sober and I know it isn't easy but it can be done. He did rehab and then AA. That seems to work best for him.

You came to a good place.

Don't give up! Keep trying and you will be able to do this. Have you tried therapy or AA/NA or another program which would be supportive for you?

Welcome Jamie. Glad you found SR. Have you tried any live-in programs? It sounds like you've been battling for a long time and may benefit from a higher level of care.

Sending you my best. Stay strong!
