New here and in need of help
Hi there,
I'm a Cocaine user and I've had enough. I tell myself every day that I don't need it, I try to reason with myself but it never works. I'm now sitting here completely wasted and I've had enough. I want to stop but I don't know how.
Please, please someone help me. I can't take any more of this.
Thank you.

Hi Angelina,
Thank you so much for the welcome xx
I did go to CA once a long time ago, but I really didn't know much about it at the time and stopped going. I've tried cold turkey but that didn't help. I also had some 1-2-1 therapy sessions but I wasn't being true to myself and of course it didn't work. I deleted all the numbers in my phone but just got them all back again from people I knew who had them.
Every time I trick myself into using again and end up back at square one.
I'm seriously considering hypnotherapy!

Welcome!
If you really want to stop you'll get lots of support here, Empress.
You might also want to post in the Substance Abuse section of the forum. There you will find many responses that pertain directly to cocaine withdrawal.
Good luck and keep posting. This is a wonderful safe space.

Thank you so much. I really felt so alone. I know I'm in London and you guys are probably in the US but I've never felt closer to anyone like I do now.
Seriously, I could cry. It's such a relief.
I'll definitely post there.
Big, big big hugs to you both xxxxxxxxx

Cocaine is a hell of a drug...Rick James.
That is my DOC. It is possible to stop. How bad do you want to is the question.
It takes alot of hard work and commitment to stop.
As with any addiciton.
There is alot of support here.
And there are lots of long time recovering cocaine addicts here.
Glad you are here.

oh, wow.
I'm speechless. So much positive energy.
I know this much. All I keep thinking of is my nieces and my nephew and how I would feel if they got caught up in this. What example am I setting for them? Do they want an aunt who looks like death warmed up all the time? Do they want an aunt who makes excuses to pop out somewhere to score or turns up late or not at all because they're too busy waiting for a drop? Do they want an aunt who can't afford to buy them Xmas or birthday presents?
I have to stop. For my own sanity, my own health and my own self worth.
You guys are saints. I'm forever in your debt
