Hi eveyone..!!

Hello too all of you.. This site was recommended to me by a friend so it must be good..!!
Last May i stabbed in the chest by someone who was trying to car-jack my 72 year old neighbour's car. The consequences of this have be apocalyptic, mentally, physically & financially.. During the past 9/10 months i have been Agoraphobic & resorting to copious amounts of Cocaine (1oz per week) & alcohol to try & make take myself else where.. It has worked to a degree, but now i can feel this is starting to spiral out of control..
In a nut-shell, where do i go from here..?? Thank you for taking time out to read my post..!!

Welcome Hesh! I am so glad you found SR, and are reaching out.
Hopefully at some point, putting the substances
down will be the option for you.
Keep sharing and posting no matter what!!
Glad you are here

Hi Hesh,

Welcome to SR!

Sometimes an event like you described can change our lives completely, in a matter of seconds. It's hard to understand why things like this happen, but I believe everything happens for a reason and you have been brought to this point in your life for a purpose.

You can live a sober life and have a good quality of life. This is a great link, from one of the Admins, about PTSD and how to cope with traumtic memories. I hope it helps:

Hi Hesh and welcome to SR. This site has helped me so much.

I am not sure I can handle that bug either.

Hesh,

I can't help you with the horror that you have had to face. But if you are ingesting over 4 grams of coke per day you are in serious need of rehab. You need to get to a doc and check into a program. With what you are spending on coke this shouldn't be a problem.

I wish you the best.
