the first step- acknowledging problem and quitting cocaine

[katyjay]

Deep down, SWIM has realised for a while that this coke 'habit' has become something darker and uncontrollable. SWIM can't bear the thought of something so sordid, so pointless, dictating over and corrupting everything that SWIM does. This is not the way to live. This is a waste of life.

So tonight SWIM took the first step. A small one, but a significant one. At the end of a 3 night binge, SWIM flushed the last 1/2 gram down the plughole. SWIM feels cross now that it's all gone. But that feeling is the sickness that has to be overcome.

Wish SWIM luck and strength with this battle, and the same to anyone else that finds themselves in this hellish situation. The only way to get out is to stop, now, immediately, with no excuses.
