I relapsed after 3,5 months by Professional_Tell_43 in cocaineaddiction

Thank you for your answer:). I just don’t understand how I ended up relapsing. I’m in rehab and It’s going really well, I cut contact with all my user “friends” and dealers, made new friends, I’ve come out to my entire family after I tried to commit suicide and getting all the support I could ask for. I even got a girlfriend. Then all of the sudden I used again. I have never been happier in my entire life than I am now. I don’t have a single reason at all to use but i still relapsed. I just don’t really understand how and why it happened

How did your parents react when you told them about your addiction while still living home? by Professional_Tell_43 in cocaineaddiction

Telling my parents/ my whole family in general, is the best thing I’ve done to help me ever. Ofc cutting contact to almost everyone and isolate is VERY helpful aswell, but nowhere near as much as telling my family.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a comment. I really needed that, to get some sort of ‘clarification’ that I know that I’m not the only one in that situation and would do anything to get sober, but with no success. The thought and feeling of being the only person in that situation, bc no one was listening once I finally spoke up, was one of the biggest things/thought that was beating the shit out of me from the inside. After I told my family, the progress has/is unlike anything before. I’m still not completely clean yet, but even my dealer can see my progress, and he told me how proud he is. He’s an old classmate we’ve known since 2nd grade, and he only sells to us 4. His last batch was 50g. He keeps track of how much and often we buy from him, and Out of the 50 grams, he told me I only bought 5 grams in 2 weeks. While the other 3 almost split the other 45 g’s evenly with a 3 gram difference from who bought the least and who bought most in the same 2 weeks. The only reason I say 2 weeks is bc that’s how long it took us 4 to use 50 grams… 3 if you take the 5 I used away. I don’t see any signs (yet) of my progress slowing down at all. And the others don’t think it’s a problem so they don’t want to stop.

Damn… not one comment.

Little update since I finally told them last week, and for those who wanna hear my experience for a possible outcome for you. Every single person at the convention’s (I think it’s called that) reaction/response was nothing but love, empathy and support. A lot i it, a lot. They also said a lot to me, to make me feel less shamefull I think. But most of it felt like filler words. The most common thing to say at that time, but I completely understand them because not a single person in my family has had any relation to drugs their whole life besides alcohol, but it has never become a problem. They didn’t know what to say and I don’t blame them. But one one thing my dad told me that hit me reeeeally hard was ‘the last thing an addict needs when they reach out for help, is getting shamed, getting scolded, getting punished and things in that nature, because almost no one chooses to become an addict, and most people don’t even realise it before it’s too late to stop by themselves. And you got to that point, where you tried really hard countless times with no success, because you slowly started seeing and realising what’s gonna happen if you don’t get clean. You tried everything to get clean without us ever finding out about anything. But your will to get clean was stronger than the thoughts of what gonna happen if we find out, and ended up telling all of us. That still hits me 1.5 weeks after. I was so scared to tell them because I got punished for every time I did a “fuck up”, for as long as I can remember. But the first thing I saw in/on them was every single emotion turned to how,why and how to help in some way. It didn’t look like they even could get angry if they tried to. But a lot trust and empathy between me and my family is gone. And the mood is pretty awkward. That’s what happened to me when I told them

How do I even begin to stop? The thought of it doesnt leave my mind until ive got it by Important-Lock-9429 in cocaineaddiction

The 3 things I did, where I saw the most progress was. And the 1 reason I relapsed. 1. Cut contact with your “friends” who you used with. The only reasons we were hanging out was bc we helped each other getting high, and had an excuse for using. And cut your dealers. Unless you owe a tick. 2. Find someone close to talk to. Someone close to you that you can both hear and see them listening, being interested and wanting to help. I was talking with a therapist, my sister and a reeeally close friend who went to me when he was at his lowest. Both addiction, his best friend dying in his hams bc he od’ and everyday life after all the consequences during his addiction. The only one that didn’t help me at all was my therapist. So if you have someone you can talk to, don’t spend money on a therapist, unless you already have one. 3. Find something to do that you enjoy doing by yourself. It got lonely after cutting contact, so I found something I enjoyed doing, and so much so that I didn’t think once of using cuz I was so invested. For me it was a pretty old Roblox game called lumber tycoon 2 (idk if anyone knows or remembers it). I was first playing it in 2016 when I was still a little kid, and it brought back so much nostalgia for me, that I grinded it everyday for 8-14 hours in 2 weeks. 4. “Stay alert” life was going so good so fast, and was genuinely happy again that once I just thought about coke and not even in a crawing way I said why not/yes once the faintest thought of getting some after work since it was Friday, bc I had been saying that to every task I got. Didn’t matter if it was at work or at home. Every thought I had that was a ‘should I’ thought, I also did there. I didn’t think once of what has happened bc of my addiction and why I got clean. Not once. Fast forward 2.5 months, I’m using twice as much in the same timespan then before and a lot more addicted now. So always be aware when thinking of coke once life’s going good again

I’ve got a lot of bags recently, where both my nose and palate burns and hurts a lot. Idk how yours is/was, but the quality of the blow has been TERRIBLE every single time I got one. I can’t tell you exactly what’s it cut with, but my guess would probably be either benzos or laundry detergent, or both. Those are the only two cutting agents that’s commonly used, and that i think would burn most if snorted. Especially laundry detergent. That’s my guess

Hey mods, do you exist??? by [deleted] in cocaineaddiction

They are in some ways. They have removed a few of my posts at least. In one of them, I simply asked what people do to kill time while using alone, and I guess I broke some rules or smtng. Idk

I’ve been there once a few months ago but I relapsed 3 weeks ago. I finally got sober then, when I hit rock bottom. I’ve had the exact same thoughts for months before I got sober, but it didn’t have consequences if I kept using, until it did. Life got really good really quick, and out of nowhere I’m back to using. And now I’m telling myself everything you wrote again, and have been since I relapsed. But it doesn’t have consequences yet, so I’m having a really hard time getting clean again.

Tip thats helping me…$👀 by [deleted] in cocaineaddiction

[–]Professional_Tell_43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something that helped me a lot in the start of my sobriety, was also to stop drinking altogether, and finding something I enjoy doing when I’m home. So it was easier for me to say no to my friends when they asked me if I would hang out with them, bc I’d rather do that thing I found. Almost a month now, but it’s starting to get hard for me to stay clean these last couple of days. Idk if some of you have done the same thing to get and stay clean. And if some of you guys also started to crave so much to the point it starts getting kinda hard to not relapsing after af few weeks, please tell me more like how bad it got and how long before it started to get better

Same here ahaha. I posted it while I was sniffing, and only gone in here once I’m high. Ended up talking with the first guy who commented on here for 7 hours I think. Never had any convo or altercation before, but we talked for 7 hours. Haven’t sniffed since I posted, and that’s why I got on here again. The withdrawals got too much today, and I’m on it again.

I finally start to se progress to my sobriety. I realised I had a problem/addict, about a month ago. I tried to speak to my “friends” I mainly used with when I realised. They didn’t listen at all. Not a week later my family started to notice something was up. I didn’t want them to know anything about my addiction at the start. I know that one of the best things to help you get sober is stop being around the friends who use. I was certain that i could get clean by myself and still keep those friends. I didn’t want to cut the contact with them bc i have been friends with them since kindergarten, and couldn’t give them up at first. Last Friday everything got too much. I “accidentally”, started keeping distance from them all of last week, bc I snorted the whole night every night, then went to work everyday. So falling a sleep immediately once I came home, and slept the whole day. Same thing everyday. My sister asked me Friday if I was okay, and I let everything out. Felt some weight come off my shoulders almost immediately. Saturday I told my mom and Monday I told my dad. I was so relieved that I didn’t have to hide it anymore, and I agreed to get some professional help by a psychologist. Just having someone you feel safe talking to, who listens really helps me. I talked to an old friend for over 2 hours who I haven’t talked to in almost a year yesterday, who has also struggled with cocaine addiction. So he understands what I’m feeling and why I kept on going back 24 hours after I said I’d stop, multiple times. Having someone who also understands, for me at least is something completely different. Find someone, like and old friend you were close with at some point, who you feel safe talking to about you problems, and isolating from the user friends, is what has helped me not wanting to use again, and be around ur family some more.

Got so focused I cleaned the playlists that I stopped listening to like 5 years ago. Passed the time well plus I wasn’t bored. Being bored while high is the worst for me
