Hey

Hi everyone I just joined this site but I'm from the UK and I wondered if anyone else was a Brit struggling with crack cocaine addiction? I can see the site is mostly American based hence my reason for asking

Welcome. I am in UK. I was addicted to crack and heroin for many years. I find on this board that it doesn't really matter where folk are from or what they were addicted to. The understanding is there and when it is online the person in Australia or US is just as close to me as the person at the bottom of my road.

Welcome Unlovable.
Kind of hard to say welcome ( Unlovable ) That isn't a nice thing to say to someone. So I will change that.
Welcome beautiful person! Keep coming back to this site it has helped many people.

Thanks for joining and welcome to the site!
You will find that addiction doesn't really care what country you are in. It seems to affect us all in similar extremely harmful ways. The money issue is fairly common, and seems to resolve itself when we stop abusing substances. I know this from experience.
Stick around and ask questions.

Welcome! As others have mentioned, there are people from all over the world here, with a variety of addictions. I don’t notice where someone is from when they’re posting, and come to think of it, I don’t know what people’s addictions are unless they mention it. This is a great group of people!

Welcome (Un)loveable. Doesn't matter where you're from or what your drug of choice. We're an internationalist crew here.

Agree with Head East that the money issues will resolve spontaneously when you stop using. You might even begin to save money.

Keep posting and asking questions as others have said. You're are needed too.

Hi and welcome.

I am/was dealing with cocaine addiction. 3 days so far without it or alcohol. I only smoked cocaine a few times but I did mostly powdered cocaine or cocaine hydrochloride.

Glad you are here and I have only been here a few days and it is a wonderful site with so many helpful people from all different places.
