I'm in a situation where I very much want to quit this drug but need a bit of advice. I'm 34, and by no means weak-willed, but as most of you know I have been broken down by this evil. I'm a 10 year user. My question is, has anyone sucessfully done it on their own and what helped you? Therapy? Medication? Friends? he|l, if anyone wants to try and quit with me feel free to send me a message. Thanks to all.
If yuor by no means weak-willed. And take pride in that. Then show your self. Prove it. You can't lie or fasley convince yoursef that this statement is true, if you can't break away. I myself consder myself strong-willed. Key word, "consider"
Lets prove it.
Sow you, yuorself, and others, your strong-willed deminner is stronger than a drug. Pride, love, and respect over lies, drugs, and damage.
Also is need another reasson or aid in yuor will towrds stopng. Take a flashlight and a mirror, and shin away. Check out that nose. Do you really want to lose your nasal passage to this?
when that want, and drive to get high hits, remind yuorself of that strong will, determination, and power. Remind your self yuor stronger than it.
And now its time to Prove it.
Thats what I'm trying. its hard. I thought about diggin in my sack today, but I'm better than that.
Excellent point. I've quit once after a 5 year habit, sober for 3, and fell off after a few traumatic events. its been about 3 years. Yesterday I deleted my dealer's number and anyone I knew that had it. Tomorrow I go back to work, this week will be a true test.
I wish you more than luck.
Starting a job is key. I myself am hunting.
but getting yourself away, and out, and in new patterns will help distance you from this idea, thought, and want of coke. It might take some time. But just tell yourself your stronger and better than a damn craving for a drug. Honestly. Do you want to be weak?
Before you know it that thought will be a memory. With each day of will, it becomes weaker, and you stronger.
Well a job for me has never been a problem. I happen to work in an industry that I can't afford to quit (dj at an adult club), so the obstacles for me can be a little different. I think i may always be faced with temptation, the key may be learning to deal with it. Good luck with the job hunt.
I want to ask you what is more important in your life, your family and friends or cocaine? You've heard it a million times but I really want you to think hard on this simple and obvious question. Friends and family are very important when quiting cocaine. Move yourself away from the people that brought you to the drug and if you have to find new friends. I had to move away from my old city just to stop using (you probably don't but if you have to it really really helps). I wish you the best of luck and remember that once you stop you have to get away from the people that led you to the drug!
I read somewhere that place conditioning is what really kicks your *censored ( | ). If there is a place you have done cocaine often then even if you quit for however long, the association of a place with cocaine more often then not, if ventured back to, sucks you in.
When I was using and realised that I might have a problem I started reading up about the long term effects of cocaine use - physical, emotional, psychological. I've always been a person who analyses everything and I was actually interested in the logic behind my addiction and my cravings. I would go as far to say I actually looked forward to finding out new things about why I wanted the devils powder so much. My boyfriend at the time however, the guy who offered me my first line and told me cocaine was good and i'd enjoy it so I should try it, said that my mind was being poisoned by me educating myself about cocaine and speaking in forums to others in my situation.
I had to leave him in the end, moved back in with my parents, told them about my addiction. They were rife with anger and disappointment at first...but after telling them about my ordeal and how hard it was to take myself away from it all, they were very understanding and proud of me for getting out.
He is still on the powder and its about 9 months since I left him and moved out, he was sat in his car only a month ago with my sisters now ex alcoholic/cocaine user/pot head boyfriend at 5PM straight after work on a WEDNESDAY asking a friend of mine if they could get hold of any powder.... what a sad state of affairs to be in.... I find it quite amusing that those 2 have been up to their same old tricks for years - and have both lost their gf's as a result...
