This is normal. It depends on how much of a snorter he was. It is hell for sure. If you are a casusal user it is a little easier. My son used all the time then went to crack. But, was able to stop on his own like in your case. Normally, an everyday user more then once a day, needs rehab. It is a tough road to get clean. But, if he is determined to stop, then he will stay clean. The temptation will always be there but, willpower is the key. And I agree that this is probably a systom of withdrawl.

I wish him the best of luck,

Thanks, your advice is much appreciated.

i gave up coke towards the end of last year and its about 4 months later and my stomach and head give me grief which i assume is cause of that. Just gotta ride it out hey

Even I had to ask my son about this. He was on coke for 3 years. He said that it takes about three days in bed wraped up in a blanket with nothing to eat. Then after three days it is over. He also said that it should be out of your systom by then too.

I agree with Ms. Carrie. in addition, never fear checking with your physician for help and advice. being hooked is hard....a good 12 step program can also keep you safe and sober. best of luck!

Yes, NA is a wonderful program with everything you need for support. I say go for it.

Thanks to everyone, good advice brings me some relief.
