Cocaine addiction

[chimney]

As some of you know I have been trying to beat this for the last couple of years, but i keep falling off the wagon so to speak. Does anyone know a way to take my mind off it completely, i really need help before it destroys me

Would envisaging the grief and destruction you would leave in your wake to your loved ones be enough?

It would for me and that would be enough to spur me on -I realise its tough but its a lifestyle change as well -not just cutting out the cocaine.Stay focused and the best of luck -you CAN do it.

[cazzz1975]

stay away from anyone and anywhere you used to frequent especially people on coke, you need to break away from the environment

[Marvelman]

Just imagine yourself in a coffin in a couple of years, think of all the years you would have left if you stopped that habit. imagine how good life can be without drugs,

Chimney: I have the greatest concern for you. I work with a number of people who are suffering from various addictions.

Besides the physical addictions, there are also emotional addictions. Those addictions are often referred to as �tapes.� We constantly play the same tapes over and over, repeating the same mistakes, or actions.

The greatest step for you is removing yourself from anyone who is or has in the past been part of your addiction. For many this can be frightening as it can mean, in some instances, that you�re all alone. And it becomes compounded for those who visit drop-in drug counselling centres, as it�s not unusual to find dealers directly outside the door.

Whatever it takes, whatever you need to do, you must invest in friendships that are far removed from those previous relationships.

I will share with you a recent experience I�ve had with a young lady who is addicted to heroin. Perhaps it might help inspire you.
