I need help quitting coke

[behemuthzero]

Last year through this past April i had a big prob with coke..the best way i found to get away is to grab some whiskey...maybe some pot...and go from there...you have to have the right mindset...its all about getting past that initial fiening phase..once you pass that you are on your way...just have to stay clear for a week or so..then you will look back and laugh about it all...stay away from ppl who use it..and don't keep money on you if you don't need to...makes for impulse buying if you know what i mean...and most importantly..stay busy don't let your mind wonder...out of site out of mind...fill your time up with something else you find meaningful..family friends...school if you can...and honestly when i fiened real hard i always found sex was a good distraction...wasn't really all that great when compared to coke free sex but keeps you busy...and remember noone is beyond redemption...you can do it bro..

It sounds to me your friend isn't a true friend since you have the desire to quit and he or she keeps you using. Swim can relate bigtime. Swim has nonfriends like that who kept swim in a mess. The problem is that when the cravings hit, anyone tends to forget the icks of it and remembers the initial pleasure. That is what keeps swiy going back or wanting. Thank goodness swim was out of school before getting into drugs or she wouldn't have a good job as she couldn't handle it and think straight to function on schoolwork. Even after years of being sober sometimes the cravings will hit, you just have to know what triggers it and know it for what it is. Using one obsession for another really isn't healthy. It certainly isn't impossible to quit as swim knows a lot of people that kicked coke. Swiy needs to stay away from users and possibly locations or he will be back on it. It does as the other poster said get easier the more clean time you have, but it is tough initially. Good luck to you
