Hi shedjoy :)

cocaine is something I never tried but you'll find a lot of support and understand from folks here, regardless of their drug of choice :)

Why do you feel you can't stop yourself from using?
how did you manage in that year clean?

Welcome to the family! :) It may seem hopeless right now, but you can overcome this addiction and live a clean and happy life. I hope the awesome support here can help you get clean for good. :)

It's far too easy to hate yourself for your mistakes, brother. It's a whole other world to accept that you're human, and flawed. I've lost my son due to my flaws, albeit only temporarily. I've lost my best friend, David, to crack, perhaps irretrievably.

I've spent more than a few nights carving up my life on a motel mirror with a debit card. :)

Welcome:-). Where's there's life, there IS hope!

Posting here is proof of hope. Some part of your brain believes there is an answer to be found. :)

Change is possible, therefore hope is reasonable.

What are you willing to do to change?
