Cocaine Addiction: Cocaine Facts

Question: Boyfriend has cocaine addiction?

(Posted by: not sure21 on 2009-08-06 12:12:28)

My boyfriend has been abusing cocaine for a a fews now. i think he's using is more than ever now because he's been very sneaky and tired all the time. he said he's always sniffy and sneezing because of allergies but i think its a lie. he's lost alot of weight as well. he said he doesn't have a problem and that it's ok to do it every once in a while. i want to help him but don't know where to begin! thank you for all you're opinions. i have a lot of thinking to do.

I hurt for you and sorry to say you personally cannot do anything about it. He needs to want help himself, its the only hope that he has. If he does, and I see he is in total addictive denial, then you can find out different options for that type of addiction and AAA is the most common. With my experience, you might want to consider going to co-dependant meetings as well. Good luck

You should start by hiding his cocaine. eventually he will get used to the fact that he has not been able to snort it for weeks. If that doesn't work out, take him to a rehab hospital.

Well tell him you're leaving if he doesn't work on his habit. You dont wanna deal with that.

Only thing you can do is either commit him, or leave him. Cocaine is a helluva drug.

Its not good to even do cocaine a little bit/ you need him to get help. check him in in a clinic if you have to. make him quit before it kills him. and it will

You can't help him, to him he doesn't have a problem. Best thing for you to do is RUN AWAY FROM HIM AS FAST AS YOUR LITTLE FEET WILL CARRY YOU! Save yourself and hopefully when he hits rock bottom he'll help himself!

Convince him to take a group class or give him the option btw cocaine or you.

Why do you think it is ok? im not gonna sit here and tell you the dangers of coke and scold you for it, so im just gonna say that if you let him do it once in a while, he will get addicted and he will do it often. theres not much you can do about that.

If you want hi to stop really fast when hes ut find his stash get rid of it and replace it with a bag of salt cocain stripps the lining of the nostrils and the salt will hurt even more and mostlikely al he'll do is get another stash but keep repeating and eventually he will stop or if you have to ake an annonomis call to the police and tell them hopefully he wont have to much and his penaly willjust be rehab or you could try and intervention withy his family and friends or sometimes they cant be saved and you just have to give up and leave and tht might show him how serious you r

Cocaine addictions can be really hard to deal with but the best you can do is to stick by him the whole time and offer support. An addiction can push people to do all kinds of things to get there hands on the stuff they'll lie, cheat, steal. If he won't admit he has a problem then you have to catch him at it. Tell him it's not ok and if he doesn't stop your gone. Get him to help or send him to rehab. Cocaine is really serious and could lead to something worse.

*sigh* it not ok to do it all u need to be Straight up with him and say that it not ok at all and make a point and if he doesn't listen u should rly just leave him it not worth the trouble........... although if ur up for a huge challenge call one of those helplines maybe rehab would be good if it rly bad

Leave that loser. Even if you break his coke addiction, he will find some other addiction.

Get rid of him right away. Cocaine is a Class A drug and people in possession of it and the people who live with them can all face a sentence of upto 7 years in prison if caught. There is absolutely no excuse for using drugs or for tolerating someone else using drugs in your household. Get rid of him asap, do you really want to be with someone who spends all their money on drugs, whose increased their chances of having a heart attack, stroke dying dramatically, and whose selfish actions could end up getting you in trouble with the law? And i'm not talking about a wee fine and a pat on the back, 7 years!! Seriously, get rid.

He needs to STOP using cocaine RIGHT NOW. If he doesn't stop RIGHT NOW, he could start smoking it, i.e. crack. If he starts smoking crack, he will most likely die; go to a mental institution; or go to jail......unless he gets help at a rehab center.
