Q: Cocaine Questions
asked by: jerda on February 22nd, 2007

Some questions for people who've been there, your responses greatly appreciated:

While avoiding triggers, i.e staying at home, how do I relax, keep myself occupied?

How long, if ever, will it be before I am able to socialise again without the little white crutch?

Will I ever be able to drink safely again, without risking the craving, and picking uo the phone?

Will I ever enjoy anything again without thinking 'this would be better with a line'?

Can I do this without professional help?

Hello Jerda,

Have you heard of Narcotics Anonymous?

If you are serious about stop using drugs or need some additional information on drug addiction, I would suggest that you give them a phone call.

Here is the link to the NA UK website
http://www.ukna.org/

Let me know

Good luck

Thankyou, NA is something I've thought about, but I'm cynical about the reliance on 'God' and the 12 steps, but I don't think I have time for cynicism now....

Thanks again.
