cocaine addiction?

Kristen asked:


ok after months of denial i’ve come to admit that i have an addiction to cocaine. i’ve tried stopping by myself but the withdrawals just get so bad to the point where i break down and cry and end up having a huge binge. it’s terrible.. i don’t want to stop, i NEED to. i can’t even seem to function without it. i can’t ask help from my parents for numerous reasons. i’ve also already gotten caught for it and i lied and said it was a one-time thing. i’ve just dug myself into the biggest hole. i really would not appreciate a lecture on substance abuse, considering it’s a little late for that. i need ideas on how to conquer this, or at least settle it down for the moment because it’s starting to get really out of hand.. going to a rehab or counseling is out of the question. it also doesn’t help much that my boyfriend is extremely caught up in recreational drugs.. so the temptation is always there. i need help and fast because i can’t live like this anymore. what can i do on my own?
the thing with the whole rehab and parents thing is that when they first found out about me doing coke, i lied to them and said i only did it once. and they said if you seriously have a problem you have to tell us now because if we find out your lying, we’re not helping you. and at the time i just thought this was gonna be a fun run and i would never need help but this has just turned out to be so much worse than i ever could’ve imagined. and i’m terribly embarrassed to say how young i am, but i’m 16, i can’t drive, if i tell my parents, not only would they flip out, they would seriously disown me.. we don’t have a very good relationship, and i just don’t know how i can get help with all these hindrances which is why i wanted to try on my own. but all of you are right, i can’t do it. i just don’t know what to do

by the way all your comments are extremely appreciated.. thank you all so much

See a doctor about getting some medication to help with the withdrawal symptoms. It may help. Good Luck.

you really can’t do it on your own. I read James Frey’s book A Million Little Pieces and he talked about how he needed the rehab just to get away. if you don’t have the money you could ask your folks, try for a scholarship, or just go to group meetings in your town.

First of all you have to come clean with your parents, second -get rid of the boyfriend. He will only drag you back down. Third – call rehab centers in your area and get into one. To completely break your habit you are going to need determination, family and friend support, a therapist or group to talk to and medications to help relieve the withdrawal symptoms. Call now. I wish you the best of luck, you are making the right/best decision of your life.

You can go to meetings in your community for free, when ever you feel the urge go walking or go workout, withdrawl doesn’t last always i promise you will probably have to stop talking to people who use if you plan to ever be sober even your boyfriend but anything worth having is worth fighting for you can do it and when its over you will be so proud of yourself!!! God Bless and I will be praying for you.

OK, you’ve already tried doing this “on your own”, right? And it didn’t work, right?!? So now you have to face the fact that you must get help from others for this problem. No one wants to go to their parents and say, “Mom, Daddy, I’m a coke freak”, but you must go to them and tell them how bad it really is. Chances are they already know more than you think they do. That’s the funny thing about drug addiction – addicts think they are being SO clever by hiding it from everyone, but in reality they’re not so clever at all, and the people around them might not know the details of what’s going on, but chances are good that people around you, already know that it’s getting pretty bad, but they don’t know how to bring it up to you and confront you with it. Chances are good that you’re not as good at hiding it as you think you are.

One thing you can do is get in touch with a local 12-step group. The first thing you need is a sponsor. Go to a meeting – try to go today or tomorrow – and ask someone to sponsor you. You need to do this right away, before you have much time to chicken-out or to re-think it. Tell you sponsor that you’re not sure how much your parents know about your addiction. Let your sponsor help you tell your parents. Your sponsor will probably want to accompany you to the meeting you’re going to have with them. This will accomplish several things: 1) you won’t be able to chicken-out and not do it, because your sponsor is there to make you do it and to provide moral support. 2) It’ll help your parents see that you are really serious about beating your addiction and 3) The presence of an outside party to the family meeting will help everyone to stay calm, and things are less likely to deteriorate into shouting matches and a big blame session, which is very non-productive.

Let your sponsor help you get your priorities in order.

You do need some help with this, and NO, you cannot quit all by yourself on your own.

You’ve already tried that, remember?

i used to do alot of drugs alot all kinds what i learned is that i wanted to stop but everytime i did someone i knew had some stuff the best way is to isolate yourself from the people that might be influencing you to do it it works for me I’ve done nothing for over three years and I’ve never felt better

Please contact an NA (Narcotics Anonymous) group at once!

Look for the NA group in your local phone book, or online at: for information. This program is based on the 12-step recovery approach. There are meetings in most every town many times a day – seven days per week.

You will find people who truly care, and want to help. Best of all, they have ‘been there’, and know what you are going through.
