I swear, it's been "day one" too many times. I have to stop. Cocaine has drained basically all of my money. I have no one to turn to for support. My core group of friends have all turn into users, but they seem to handle it better than I do. So I find myself here again, hoping that a random assortment of people can help me through this.

I'm hoping I can say "Day Seven" next week.

Hi there,
Welcome to the site. This random assortment helped me pull through and can help you as well. I hope you hang around and wish you the best on day one.

Don't "hope", "do" instead. Take action to get clean. But first, you've got to want to be clean more than you want to use.

Hi! A ton of my friends turned into coke heads too, they also seemed to take it better than I did, I just left the scene, no regrets.
They're all still the same, just worse, its just sad.
You can do it xoxoxo

Glad to have you with us, gummiriot. Day one - something to be proud of. You can do this.

You want to get clean so that's a start. You don't need to follow your"friends" down the path of ruin. Start today.

Welcome and congrats on Day 1.

Pop quiz: how many 75 year-old coke addicts do you know? Probably none. Know any 80 year-old heroin junkies? Guessing not. That's because people either stop doing hard drugs, or they die young. I hate to be so blunt, but sometimes it's good to have a reality check. Is a drug-fueled lifestyle really that important to you?

Man y of us here have been a part of "The Lifestyle" and we understand the pulls. There are tons of triggers and it seems impossible to stay sober amidst them all - but it all starts with a simple plan. A thought. The realization that you're done. Now you can start building on Day 1 and then focus on Day 2 tomorrow. We've all been there, and many of us have made it out of that hole. Welcome again and good luck, hope to see more of your posts as you make a clean break here.

I have had some friends addicted to cocaine. I think it is similar with any addiction. But it does seem your addicted. I have admitted I have a problem with drinking a long time ago but only recently acted upon it. I am going into detox tomorrow. I think if you try to find help, a detox or rehab center, you would be surprised how many people will support you. I was very surprised how many people, ones I didn't think of, support me. And even if people in your life don't overwhelmingly support you, I know (from what I've seen) that people on here will be your best friends and support you. You seem to feel you have an issue with cocaine, and I think that you will get it resolved. Talk with people you trust and people that love you. That is what led me to go into detox. I hope the same will work for you.

Best wishes for your recovery, bud. I've known and seen plenty of coke addicts and it is a hard road, indeed.

Stay strong, make a plan, build a support network, join a recovery group, and stay clean today.

I always thought my 'friends' we're better drug-users then I was.
In retrospect I can now honestly say they weren't my friends and they all messed up in their own unique way.
The drugs will get to everyone..sooner or later.

C-ya at day 7
