How to Stop Cocaine Drug Addiction and Abuse
cocaine is a powerful drug. It is a stimulant that gives people the feeling of euphoria and has a very high tendency for abuse. Cocaine addiction doesn’t need constant or prolonged use to turn that ‘social’ cocaine binge into full-pledged cocaine dependency. Many of these ‘social’ cocaine users turn into cocaine dependents overnight. Unfortunately, the drug has the capacity to take the center of a user’s mind and life. Users have the tendency to maintain relationships only with people who can give them continuous access to cocaine. It is not surprising that cocaine use can destroy families, bring down small businesses, strains work relationships, and tore away friendships. Sometimes, cocaine user commits crimes just to continue to have access to the drug. Prostitution, murder, robbery, extortion, and kidnapping are normally carried out by addicts when they run out of money. When somebody told you that nothing good comes out of that white powder, better believe it.
Effects of Cocaine Dependency
Prolonged and continuous use of cocaine is lethal even in small dosage. Addiction, hallucinations, irritability, restlessness, and paranoia is often associated with cocaine use. Moreover, constant and repeated occurrence of anxiety, restlessness, paranoia, and hallucination could lead to full-blown paranoid psychosis in some cases, a case where human mind literally breaks from reality.
Cocaine is also known to cause cardiovascular impairments. Hypertension is common to cocaine users because cocaine is known to constrict blood vessels. It also disturbs heart rhythm and cause heart attacks. Cocaine could also cause irregular breathing, chest pain and respiratory failure. Frequent headaches, strokes, seizures leading to coma, abdominal pain, and nausea are results of continuous cocaine abuse. Death by any of the abovementioned cocaine effects is possible.
How to Stop Cocaine Addiction
Saying ‘no’ to cocaine is still the best way to stop cocaine addiction. You can’t have an addiction if you don’t need to have one. Engage in stress-releasing activities. Indulge on sports, find new activities and learn something new. The world offer limitless possibility to enjoy life. The feeling of euphoria is not exclusively experienced under the influence of cocaine.
Cocaine users who wish to stop using the drug should be proud because they have made a major step in getting their lives, things and persons they love back. There are plenty of ways and means to quit using cocaine. Quitting cocaine, however, is no mundane task. Doing it alone, however, is not the way to do it. Cocaine users should realize that they need help when quitting. Family members should know that they are the first set of people who can extend help to cocaine users. It would not be easy, but the predicaments that would result from staying addicted to that white powder are far more difficult than getting out of it.

I’ve been living in denial of my wife who’s been doing cocaine behind my back for years. The lying, cheating, constant mind games she plays & mood swings etc, etc…I hate the sleazy bitch for what she put me thru & i have no sympathy for her anymore. My only concern is for my two beautiful young sons that are totally oblivious to her pathetic ways…She wont leave me, on the count of being shamed from family & relatives, all i can hope for now is that she dies so i can have my life back.
November 15th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
that is horrible..what happened to supporting her through it? thats what marriage is..making her feel like crap about herself will make her use more!!
July 26th, 2009 at 7:57 am

October 26th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
she is really just crying out for help. If she is doing it that much behind your back…she already knows that you know. Help her. That is all that she wants….that is all any of us every want. Love her. help her with rehab….obviously she needs your help.
November 1st, 2009 at 7:29 pm
How are u supposed to tell your loved one that your going through this?
November 14th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
am quitting it cold turkey but in the start i had some mood swings.. Irriatbility and all time sleepy feeling… Couldnt concentrate… i switched to xanax which is totally opposite thing but is helping me out…. No snorting.. No coke…
7 days no coke but coping up .. I guess a few more weeks or a week will be good enough to stop the urge… Never contact the suppliers and never go back to those people who do this or u wont help with the craving. Start so brisk walk and try to sleep instead of awake all the time…
One major thing is a rebound anxiety and severe depression but where there is a will there is a way.. Xanax and valium are helping me out and my bp is dropped to normal range too.. Also using disprin and beta blocker tinormin….
But this coke is shit.. U keep on taking more and more and then nothing feels good when u dont do it and as its starts to wear off… U snort more ending up with sleepless nights… Loosing jobs.. Fucked up health and all the bad stuff.. The euporic feeling u have to find in sports, swimming, walk, jogging or safe sexual activity.
I know its hard but do try… No use fucking ure self in this age… i started with mdma and ritalin and then to coke and it kept on increasing….
U must throw away ure stuff.. Delete numbers and emails of these suppliers and just suffer for a few weeks to months.. Try some benzos to soothe u.. U wont be able to concntrate but i wont panic either….
get rid of this shit asap… I has so many health problems due to this and my bp is sky rocketing all the time.. I am on two anti hypertensive meds, benzos and asprin.. Brisk walk… Other activities i used to enjoy like playing pool and snooker,,,
sega or other games… What ever u felt good when u were not in all this shit…
Eat fruits… Lots of water… When u feel low or dipressed,,, go to a gym… See people working out… Running on treadmills, music and all and start ureself too.. Or go to some shopping… Buy some stuff for ure self … The money u were wasting for buying coke can be used… Donate for good cause.. See people who are in problems due to all this.. U will still feel good that atleast u r still on ure foot and doing everything.. The depression wont last so many months… do lose hope,, remember will power is very good weapon. this is the time to use it,,
Enough of lecture,,, u propably came here coz u wanted to quit so thorw ure stuff down the drain and change ure life style….
Start with healthy things. Eat good.. U must be deprived of nutrients….
Juices fruits, protein, fish..
And yeah benzos are for short term. dont depend on them or u l be in another trouble. Out of frying pan into the fire…
When u start feeling goood… Taper of the benzos and increase the physical activity and other positive ones…
Life comes once.. Dont waste it,, drugs killl u and ure family will suffer a lot without you…
I am quite hopeful that after this week and the next one without any stimilant… I ll be in a better position.. First fews days are the worst so be prepared and fight….. And never ever start the stuff again….

At last, after being a cocaine addict from the age of 25 to 38 I have stopped. I almost lost my home, could not hold down a relationship and let some good men go, got so addicted to Cocaine that I wanted to die. Until I hit rock bottom, I could take no more, I can only say that you have to be strong and take the decision to get cocaine out of your life. Get rid of the dealers numbers from your phone and if necessary get rid of your friends and people around you who you associate with Cocaine. I truly am a new person, I still owe thousands of pounds to creditors for money borrowed to put cocaine up my nose but am truly free. Please be strong and remember, there is life after Cocaine. I have now met my dream man and am working hard in my job.

December 22nd, 2010 at 2:22 pm
I started doing cocaine when i was about 25 years old the early 80s it was the cool thing to do,from putting it up my nose to freebassing(crack)I never saw what was coming util it had a big hold on me.I lost wifes,my kids,houses,and busnesses.I have been to some of the best treatment centers (3),I have been to countless meetings.I haved moved all across the US to see if that would help,to the northwest to the east coast,you can find this stuff any place or it will find you.You people that have used and tryed to quit know what i mean.I have prayed to God for many,many years and my prayers have been unansered.I have a loving wife who is an RN,is about to give up hope.I have a trade that pays very well but i can’t keep a job because when i get paid i go buy crack and yes my wife and i have tryed everything in the book to keep money (paychecks)out of my hands but i can talk the talk and get money.When people say get rid of the dealers number that is BS,if you are like me i have the numbers in my head along with 5 other drug dealers numbers.God forbid what if my cell phone went dead and had to use a pay phone.I am 49 years old and i to am giving up hope!If you have just started or your thinking about trying it dont it is not worth it it will control your life.Good luck!

Im fucken weak and on my early twenties and I dislike myself for this.. I cant stop doing it.. Im a full time student and work full time behind a busy bar, I have zero energy when I get to work… I know I’m not a bad person, I have never done any other drugs besides cocaine… I pay my bills always on time never had a single money problem and live by myself. This drug is killing me and I can now say that I’ve had too much of it, last night I almost had a heart-attack. I really want to stop but whenever I get to work I feel the need for it. I have people that depend on me (no children here) and they have no clue that I do this. Just needed to get this out of my chest… I’m not a religious person at all but if devil had a drug, the drug would be cocaine, makes you feel like total CRAP when you’re not on it. If you’re reading this contemplating weather or not to try this drug, I beg you please not to.

My girlfriend is pregnant with our first baby and at first she stopped using cocaine but then one weekend she went out alone and she came back home and I could see it immediately and said I was very disappointed and worried about how it would affect our baby. She then got extremely defensive and said that I don’t care about her only the baby. She now still continues to use cocaine every second day or as often as she can get it. She also makes me feel shit and shouts at me and tells me I am useles and cannot support her and. How will I support the baby too when I say I cannot buy her any and sulking and ignorance follows. I feel so trapped and all I care About is my baby well being I want to leave her but I can’t she has nothing nowhere to go and she is carrying my child. Pls help any advice would be greatly accepted!

I have been an user for the past 7 years. I have lost my buisness, my family, and my true love. I stoped using for a year, started another buisness and regained my family and my love, just to throw it away again. Now its 4 am and I have nothing. I need to understand what this Shit does and why I went back.
April 22nd, 2011 at 1:51 pm
I’m the same way. I will only do it if I’m very drunk. I spend so much money on it and influence other people to do it. I don’t want to stop drinking, but I need to learn to say no mentally inside. I’m a strong person and really want to be able to have a beer with friends without having to be scared that I will end up doing lines all night. Please help if anyone else has had a similar experience.

well im just starting the end of what could have been better life had i been prescripted the right medication. ive been a drug addict since i was in preschool, developing a dependency all throughout highschool which ending with adderall. we in a mindless effort to stay humble, i picked up the new age shit called ivory wave bath salt. now that shit is addictive! you feel so calm, atleast for me that the anxiety that follows after the crash isnt all orth the extra bumb to bring you right back to your chemically dependent mind. so being legal yet dangerous in health, ill o0penly sacrifice my vessal till a doctor with a good head prescribes me concerta then puts me through a 3 day detox. but until then, god only knows the adventure of the self induced disease that followed me since i was innocent. illwright back in a month, see where bathsalt lays me.

I’m an 18 year old full time university student working as a bartender at a strip club and I tried cocaine for the very first time almost a month ago. I didn’t even think it was possible to become addicted in such a short time period. I tried ecstacy and morphine once before and wanted to see what all the hype was about coke. I’m young and still experimenting like most people do at this age, but I am definitely starting to regret every trying coke. Cocaine is so easily available to find in this town and especially at my bar. Pretty much all of my friends here are users and I don’t know how to get away from it. I feel like crap when I don’t have coke and I get so irritable and take it out on my boyfriend who does everything he can to help me and make me happy. When I get to work I feel so grumpy and tired and the only thing that brings me up and makes me more sociable with customers is snorting up. It’s such a dirty habit. My family doesn’t know about it and it would break their hearts if I told them, so I need to stop. It takes me 3 hours to fall asleep every night just from being so restless and when I wake up in the morning I cough up blood and have nosebleeds. It’s also getting harder to breathe. It’s not worth a lifetime of pain just for a 45 minute high. I know I’m just hurting myself and I need to quit before it gets even worse. If anyone is thinking about trying this drug, just don’t. It’s a life ruiner. Good luck to everyone battling this horrible addiction.

For myself its always been a social thing.. and thats how it starts.. one here, two there. every other weekend, than every weekend. once during the week cause we had one to many and wanna remain sober-ish.. than thats it.. were addicts to the that lil white powder… For myself, ive allowed it, not to consume, but rather evolve into my life with an open door… Only cause i thought id have complete control over the situation. Ive maintained my work ethic, my home life and my friends, but the worst part is that it consumed my thoughts and brought on extremely negative feelings.. Im almost to the breaking point of whats normal and whats not, and for these ideas that run rampid throughout my mind this is why im choosing to seek aid for stoping this retarded shit…I relate to all your struggles and remember this, Hope is Hopeless… Stop hoping to quit the shit. Start acting upon soberiety!!!! Its up to you!!!!

Do not give up. I did cocaine in 1995 & had been doing it for a few years with my husband. We made a drastic move to Iowa and had to stop. I still think about when I did it and the one thing that stops me and that I always remember is the feeling of coming down… not in control, pissed off at myself because I find myself in this place again and again. Make a drastic change and then never forget the worst thing about it you cannot stand… and never forget that because that thought every time you want it is what you remember and take you right back out of that bad thought pattern. After doing this for a while you will rewrite the connections in your brain and make this new live reality your new comfort zone. DO NOT GIVE UP… it will happen for you too!
September 3rd, 2011 at 12:23 am
It has been 16 years and I could get it if I wanted to but I do not because I remembered what I hated about it most and always thought of that when I wanted it. It has been 16 years and I still do not want it.
DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF… YOU CAN CONQUER!!!
LOVE YOURSELF… LOVE YOURSELF… LOVE YOURSELF!!! YOU ARE SO WORTH IT!!!
If I can do it… you can too. I came from a family of alcoholics. And, I do not drink or abuse any other drugs, etc. AND IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT!!!
September 15th, 2011 at 6:35 am
Hi my name is Wilson, im from NY. I can say when exactly i started to do cocaine but is time for me to stop. im loosing so much money and im hurting the people that love me. i wish this could be easy but unfortunatly is not. i want to stop… i need help but no one is around to help me. so im alone in this blattle but i know i can win if i really put myself to it. if anyone is reading this and you are doing coke please stop.. is hard to quit and the more you do it the more you sink yourself. i always said that i could quit at anytime. thats the biggest bullshit lie i can ever tell myself. i cant quit, is not easy, is so dammm hard.. im going crazy out of my mind…

Money is not a problem (cocaine in Brazil is not too expensive) but it’s ruining my life I’m missing my tests and interviews I get very inresponsible and impulsive.
I’m not addict but I have an awful habit.
Boredom of live make me do this.

I’ve never used cocaine, however its been in my life since I’ve known my father, who later became addicted to crack since coke had lost its luster after 10 or 20 years of infrequent use (estimated). I feel like the only person who’s never tried it and its quite lonely. It didn’t use to bother me untill i moved in with a friend who’d been using with out my knowledge. It seems there is no guilt in users of this drug. They tell me I need to lighten up, etc. I feel in my heart and mind that this is complete bullshit. I’ve been vocal about my opposition and thats whats led me to this loneliness. I cannot fucking stand it. My gf is an ex-addict, or so she claims, but I find it impossible to believe her, that she doesn’t use it anymore. Mainly because her brother is a major partier, being in his early 20′s, and he lives less than 60 seconds away. Everytime she goes over there, I feel paranoia. I’ve read about signs, but im not sure its really that obvious. When i asked my dad, he said the obvious signs go away shortly after you begin use. Maybe 6 months to a year or so. I’d swore a long time ago, i’d never date someone who’d used it, but i felt like an asshole and she really seemed like a lot of fun. But now… its just impossible. Shit constantly comes up. For instance, she showed me this song a long time ago and asked me if i liked it and said she thought it was cool. later (tonight), I found it on youtube. The title of the track is ‘who’s on cocaine’. Now i feel like the butt end of a joke. I clicked to this site looking for tips to quit usage and how difficult it would be if i were to say try it so i could not be exiled from my friends. However, it pisses me off soo badly, i feel like i’d rather punch them all in the face and remain the only one who can have a pound of it in front of me, and be completely indifferent to its presence.
Fuck you people who are ‘suffering’ from your use. You’ve no idea what your doing to the people who love you. To those that have realized this, then good for you. Reading this paranoia and such that people describe above, that is my reality everyday.. despite never using it.

Ok I know the first step is to admit the problem. I have a cocaine addiction. I am aware now. My first step to stopping it will be to shame myself. I will admit my problem to those close to me that would have never dreamed I would become that person. I am sure most will support my efforts to quit though some may be in a very aggressive or hurtfull manner. I say whatever it takes I am all for it. So I will write back in a month or so with progress. That is what we all need to hear and see. The lows as warnings and the highs as something to look forward to. Thanks everyone for listening.

I am a 37 year-old mum of 2 beautiful girls (8 and 3) My partner and I have been together 16 years and have been taking cocaine at weekends for most of that time. We have tons of debt, live in a rented house and no security for the future. Weekends are wasted feeling terrible after being up all night, talking rubbish…then too tir ed to take girls anywhere or too skint…we live in London and know dozens of dealers…I know we are close to breaking up (for second time) and the thought of my family finding out fills me with shame…I HATE cocaine…it is slowly pulling my life from me, bit by bit, can’t believe I’m 37…where did the time go? Need help fast

Hey I have a problem of my own but first I want to tell the people who have shared thank you I don’t feel so alone anymore and good luck. Now my problem is also cocain but not every day. I’m the type of persone who bottled everything up untill I went and got some and them I was able to express my feelings by actually talking or even writing. I was raised not to be a winer and could not express. But when I was done all this even with comedown I felt a little relief that is till I read next day and immediately felt imbaressed and throw out. This only happenes once or twice a year. Untill the last 2 months I’ve had so much stress it’s becoming like 7 grams twice a week and it is effecting my girlfriend big time. Sometimes is hard to think you can hurt someone by hurting yourself. And now I feel I’ve let her down so much in such a short time that I don’t want to be with her. So it seems like the problems are only adding. Any suggestions? And yes the only way I talk about any emotions is when I use.

All I can think about is that shes with another man, she would never do that. But still I cant get it out of my head, im a coke head I know I am, been doin it for years, the problem is I make alot of money, but before I did make money, I got into debt because of coke, I sorted myself out and now im doin it more than ever, I just love it. As soon as friday comes, I go crazy. I went to canada last year for 12 weeks, I didnt do a line, I come back and went wild, im a 30 year old man and I should have no morgage. Wot is wrong with me

Addiction is terrible been on it 5 years and its not something to be proud of . 0doing it on the weekends and one time bought half ounze and sniff it in three days. Being from california its easy to get it especially in the mexican barrios and being mexican myself w are seen as drug dealers. First time I try it didn’t know what it was if was fun doing it and having sex now it not the same effect and also the purity levels has to do with it. I been a week clean and hopefully I can stop becuase I want to have afamily soon!!! Being panic at night and drinking its not the way to live!!!

I think my case is similar, I do coke every 2 days, small amounts. I spend about $100 a month on it, I can’t quit. I still have my good job, I dont have debts, I have two beautiful 14 year old twins, a wife. I think I am in control of the amount I take. considered taking sleeping pils. I excersise. help

I think erasing contacts from your phone does not help, you have information in so many places nowdays. I am at work right now. I am able to put my thoughts in order. my family doesn’t know I do coke. I am able to hide it really well. I have 0 debts. My house has been paid for, my two cars have been paid for. I save about $4K every month. I am able to control how much I spend on it every month. I have been like this all my life, programmed person.
