Cocaine: Cocaine Facts

Question: How do i fix my cocaine problem?

(Posted by: on 2012-01-22 17:33:37)

I have been dealing with drug abuse for over four years. I am terribly addicted to cocaine, and no matter what I try to do to stop, nothing works. I've gone to rehab several times, and every time I thought I was a completely changed person I did something stupid again. I don't know what to do. I have really bad depression and anxiety and I think that the drugs just make it worse. I'm basically at a dead end. Where do I go from here? None of my friends (that I know about) do cocaine. It's just me.

Go see a pshychiatrist who treats people for depression, anxiety and drub abuse. The abusing is your way of self treating your emotional health levels. Get going to the doctor. You can get a referral by going to your general practitioner first.

Back to rehab, so that you can get it out of your system. The likelihood is after rehab you are rejoining friends who are drug addicts. That is usually how addicts start up again. You know this is a nowhere track. It is your life, and you have to make it count. That might mean you walk away from some so called friends. Start up again somewhere else, etc.

It usually has to do with the people you hang out with

I'd try to get as far away from other people who use or sell cocaine as possible. Knowing you can buy or get it anytime by making a call or going somewhere when feeling down will always be in the back of your mind until you really make up a true personal decision to stop using. My life was ruined completely, I had no friends anymore and was hopelessly (so I thought) addicted too. I made a personal bet that I'd stop for 1 year. If at the end of that 1 yr my life hadn't improved, then I'd dive right back into it with double the intensity, seeking death perhaps. Well, after 1 month noticing serious changes for the better I kept at it. Months turned into 6 months and I couldn't believe how better everything was and how irrational I'd been that whole time. At 1 year, there was no doubt as to what had happened so I never went back. That was 1999. Took about 3 or 4 years for dreaming about it to go away, but eventually it did. Now when I see it on tv like Drugs Inc it makes me feel sick inside remembering how miserable life was back then. Life is great but you get out of what you put into it I found. When you don't care about life, it doesn't care about you (employers, close friends, gf/ bf, spouse, etc.) I really hope this helps and don't give up trying to quit. Also don't give up on treatment centers, maybe you haven't been to the right one yet. Good luck and peace unto you.
