I never thought it would happen to me. I never wanted to ever touch the stuff but when a close friend I trusted with my life introduced me to crack cocaine he said it wasn't as bad as i thought. The fuck it isn't. Ive been hiding this addiction for 3 years now and I just know my life is so close to crashing down into nothing because I cant stop using this nigger drug. Ive always said it was for niggers and I admit im basically a nigger now. Any advice on how I stop smoking this shit between all the deserved insults would be appreciated. I need to get a grip and I can't believe ive managed to hold my life together this long.. but I can feel the rocky bottom fast approaching and im desperate to stop. This is absolutely a cry for help.
You are probably beyond using willpower alone to beat this. It's got a hold of you, and without the help of other people it might be impossible for you to quit alone.
Fuck shame, you messed up. Admitting you need help is bigger than going down the same dead end.
Make some calls to some treatment centers in your area. See if you can find a NA (narcotics anonymous) meeting to attend. Ask professionals in your area who work with addiction. While uncomfortable, putting your life in the hands of others for a little while may be what you need, even if it's not what you want.
It's hard to believe right now, but there's a bright future on the other side of addiction. I got clean from alcohol 4 years ago and my life is so much better for it.
Hit them ole knees There is no option number 2. Or......keep listening to the looser cures of failure and relapse. STOPPING A BEHAVIOR DOESNT REQUIRE TWELVE FUCKING STEPS! Those are the demons that prolong the issue with failures and setbacks,as seen as offered options within these type threads.
On the plus side if you find yourself going to rehab and plethora of government programs will be opened up to you.
Need a house? A job? A car? Done.
Good luck, I'm sorry your friend was a nigger you probably weren't hiding it as well as you thought find someone in real life to go with you to a clinic and help you get help.
You will never quit if you don't want to so your cry for help is actually a good thing b/c it shows you are aware and interested in not being a slave anymore.
I had alcohol problems but was able to abstain for over a year and now I don't even enjoy it anymore (almost 20 years now). I still have other demons but they are not as dysfunctional as the booze.
Much like anything else in life, motivation is fleeting. You need discipline to make a change.
A lot of different kinds of advice on this post. You will need to find what works for you but I know you can do it.
I was hooked on the shit back in the late 80s because my brother was a dealer. It took him being thrown in jail and my supply to dry up to quit. I was pulling up rugs and moving couches to look for a tiny crumb. The Parmesan cheese joke about Hunter is no lie.
I don’t have any real advice, other than not buying it and having it around. Good luck
Good on you for writing this and asking for help. I respect that. You clearly understand that you need to stop. All you need to do is not do any(crack) today. That’s all. Keep that mindset every single day and only focus on getting past today. After enough todays go by, you won’t want to let yourself down by fucking it up. It all starts today. If you have phone numbers of people that you can get it from, you need to break up with those people. Delete their numbers, ghost their calls if they call. You must distance yourself from it physically. You only need to get through today. When you wake up tomorrow, you only have one more day to get through. I dont care what it is, if you can make it thirty days, you are home free. Only the first week will suck. The other three weeks just make you feel better and have more respect for yourself again.
It’s just one day bro. You can do this. Don’t be a fag.
Fuck if I know what you can do. I got lucky I suppose, and had a friend try it once. He told me, "that shit is powerfully addicting" and he barely got off it it from his one time try.
Good luck fren, certainly acknowledging you have an issue is the fist step on a long hard road.
You might enjoy Mike Lindell’s book What Are the Odds? I listened to it on Audible a couple years back late one night while building a bed frame. He talks about he used to drink and just do coke like a normal person but eventually him and all his buddies started smoking crack.
Not saying it’s a textbook on how to quit, but it could help motivate you and let you know that you don’t suffer alone.
For your sake, I hope you keep fentanyl test strips. These days, I wouldn’t touch any street drug. Friends cousin died from fentanyl. He was a decent man and they found him with two spent injections of narcan. Heroin addict.
I know from experience, and you can quit in one day. Not only do I not feel sorry for drug addicts, but I fucking hate them because I know how easy it is to quit. They (YOU) just don't want to and it's PATHETIC.
Give him the benefit of the doubt. The man is asking for help. I know as well as you that it is just as easy as you said. He doesn’t know that it’s just that simple. That’s why he is here asking. He aint asking for pity. He wants some help.
I picked up a vape to try it out and holy shit that knocked me on my ass. All day, every day, in the car, at my desk, all evening... Vape vape vape. I finally had to throw it away so I couldn't get it back. That was the most easy and dangerous thing I have stumbled upon. Coke would be an issue for me but I have never tried it. Remove your dealer from your life.
Call your insurance and say you are researching what kind of rehab a friend would qualify for. Pick the thing closest to free and check yourself in. Admitting in a semi public way you need help for a problem is also a way to shine light on it. Sunshine is the best disinfectant. Just confessing here is one way to let the sunshine in.
Your local treatment center would be maybe the best idea, but you can try this old system before, it can not hurt to try: it's 3 things: loads of vitB3, and fasting until autophagy starts (more than 60 hours), - here is some advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug2F8Epd6Ug
And third, most important thing is to know that you will go in the spiritual battle, basically exorcising a demon from some vacant part of your mind. So, prayer helps a lot, any kind of mindfulness helps too. You can even try to figure out which demon got you and how, via guided meditation, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnN6tyIpQl0
THAT is the behavior you must stop. You know you are lying so dont accept the lie (you are both sides of this)
Tell yourself no. You have to learn how to do that, no way around it. You're in charge now,you're grown, you decide. You have to tell that little shit (also you) NO! and mean it.
You cannot rely on others to punish you. You must provide it yourself. There is no authority to handle this, you must handle this.
If you do not, the world itself will push you through that tiny hole. Oh... you'll fit.
